our mission

• Kevin Alderson is a professional dog trainer certified by Animal Behavior College and many other accredited programs. He has about 15 years of experience working with dogs and is always striving to gain more knowledge. Because of this he has attended (and continues) many dog training seminars/programs to better his experience and continue to grow in order to be as well rounded as possible. We believe that learning should be an ongoing process! And that goes for dogs as well.

We do our best to make our training fun for both the dog and the owner! Through game play and a wide range of techniques we can insert plenty of structure to teach necessary life skills that your dog will love to engage in. This way your dog will WANT to perform these behaviors, making it more likely they will perform them consistently. The behavior that your dog will perform the most reliably is the behavior that he/she gets consistently rewarded for. Training won’t seem like a chore anymore and instead it will be a fun bonding experience you get to share with your four legged friend. Through this we will teach you how to understand and communicate more effectively with your dog. As experienced dog trainers we identify the cause of behaviors the dog is exhibiting before addressing the issue itself. All unwanted behaviors are there for a reason so understanding and addressing that reason is usually more important than addressing the problem behavior itself.

Once that is understood Kevin will come up with a detailed training regiment that is specific to your dog, you and your lifestyle. Whether it’s reactivity, aggression, fearfulness or over excited behavior, we will help guide you to where you and your team need to be.

We may be called dog trainers, but in reality we teach our clients to be the dog trainer. That makes us your coach! We will help train you to set yourself and your dog(s) up for success in every day life. Each dog is a unique individual so in order to have the most success we must approach training with an open mind in every situation based on the dog in front of us.

Our ideal client is someone who is motivated, ready to put repetitions with training exercises, open minded to a new way of doing things and ready to have FUN with their dog(s)!!!
