Good, Clean Dog Training

So What’s a Clean Loop?

In fancy terms a clean loop is when a learner receives a cue, performs the desired behavior, hears the bridge signal, then receives a reward. It’s only a “clean” loop if the learner shows no latency, or additional behaviors at any point in the loop.

Getting clean loops during the training process is what we strive for and it’s not always easy. The good news is you don’t need to remember a single term or methodology.

We’ve got that part covered.

All we need from you is a desire to create an improved communication system between your learner and yourself. If you’re ready to speak a language your learner understands, book a call with us.

We offer FREE Strategy Sessions

You don’t have to DIY your dog training. In a free strategy session, we’ll help you make sense of your dog’s behavior and show you how to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works.

Sessions are held at a location of your choosing and are typically 30-45 minutes long.

Additional Services

Boarding

Give your dog a safe, structured place to stay while you’re away. Our boarding services provide individualized care, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention in a familiar training-focused environment.

Nail Trims
Mobile option available

Keep your dog comfortable and their nails at a healthy length with convenient, low-stress nail trims. Regular trims can help prevent overgrown nails and make grooming easier for both you and your dog. We offer nail trimming here or at your home.

Ear Posting
In-Home or Virtual

Ear Postings offer convenient, stress-conscious backer rod method posting for your dog from the comfort of your home. By working in a familiar environment, many dogs are able to feel more relaxed and comfortable than they would in a vet's office. I'll also teach you how do it on your own with your pup!

Enrichment Sessions

Perfect for busy humans that works long hours, work from home, or just wants to change things up for their dog. Daily enrichment keeps dogs fulfilled, calm, and happy. This could be a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, a trip to the park, or whatever you typically do with your dog.

As a dog trainer whom previously trimmed horse hooves professionally, it is impulse for me to look at a dog’s face first, then straight down to their nails. Why? Because I know that the length of a dog’s nails can alter the way they mov
