Natural Dog Training & Bonding Classes
All classes are held both indoors, in a heated barn, and outdoors, in a fenced in, grassy area on a 6 acre farm.
We have partnered with the natural environment to offer a place for dogs and their human guardians
to enhance learning and to foster a mutually beneficial relationship.
All programs are force free (using treats, toys, and/or praise to reward the dog's perceptive behaviors)
and skills are taught with the dog on and off a leash.

Animals-Assisting Humans in Therapeutic Interventions
All programs are based on the science of the body's ability to heal the mind and soothe the soul
in elevating the role of dogs working to help humans heal through research based exercises.
Choosing to work with your family dog not only enhances the continued support and healing at home,
but also enriches the life and purpose of your dog.

Current research related to the field of Animal-Assisted Interventions has found that 8-10 hrs of working one on one with a therapy animal, guided by a health professional, through goal-orientated exercises, will positively affect behaviors and patterns of thinking for that individual.
