Casey became a force-free dog trainer after a heartbreaking experience with her own dog Cooper who became dangerously aggressive after she used traditional harsh training methods. It was her short time with him that led her to pursue a career showing that modern, force-free methods of training are effective in even the most severe cases of fear and aggression.
Training Philosophy
We believe that there is never a need for force, fear, or pain when changing your dog’s behavior. Even the most severe behavior cases can be safely improved with force-free methods. If we can, why not?
Our formally-educated and experienced staff use only positive reinforcement training techniques – with dogs as well as people! All carrot, no stick, no kidding.

Customer Reviews

Thank you Casey for all your help with Sheldon’s guarding issues! We will always have to work on this but now know how to handle it. You are excellent at what you do and if it weren’t for you – well, I don’t know where our little guy would be. He is celebrating his first birthday with puppy ice cream and on the lake (with kids). I can’t thank you enough!!!! You were so patient with us and always had great advice. Thank you!!!

Thanks to your great work with Nelson he’s home three days a week and spends his time sleeping on the couch and trying to get the cat to play with him.

Casey is SO wonderful, as a trainer and a person! She’s taught us separation anxiety protocol, helped us with recall, leash reactivity, and has had useful insights for every question we’ve asked about our rescue dog. Her enthusiasm and support will help even the most tentative dog and fur parents succeed and establish a trusting training relationship!
