All programs focus equally on the health and wellness of humans and of companion animals.

It is well known that dogs have a natural affinity to work with humans
when faced with a shared goal, helping to heal humans physiologically (presenting as symptoms of disease, trauma)
by supporting the body to reach a balanced state (homeostasis).  
This practice is known as Animal-Assisted Therapy, a holistic approach that invites companion animals to support humans
 
​in the prevention, maintenance, and/or recovery from various health conditions that can affect the body, mind, and spirit.

"Over time, continued strain on your body from stress may contribute to serious health problems,
​such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other illnesses, including mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety."
​--National Institute of Mental Health, 2020

Additionally, recent research in the study of the Human-Animal Bond tells us that
a dog's learned behavior improves when the human guardian's health and well-being improves, too.  
​This is accomplished by working (and playing!) in the natural environment, on and off of the leash. 
 
 Stress (for all beings) is often the root cause of dis-ease.  Changing how a body reacts to stressors (through behaviors)
will ultimately provide the greatest protection against, and long term management of, challenging health conditions.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

I bought a puppy knowing I wanted to train it to be an emotional support dog.  I couldn't attend group dog training classes because I got too nervous and my dog wouldn't listen to me, I thought I had an untrainable dog.  After working with you for several weeks I had no idea the potential my dog had! I truly did not even know my OWN potential, thank you"
I got a dog to help lower stress in our family, not make it more stressful by trying to train the puppy. With your knowledge of symptoms of anxiety in both my kids and myself, and dog training, you were able to give us doable exercises that both the kids and the puppy truly enjoy, and have made all of our lives so much better!
