Mission and Philosophy

 

Our Mission Statement

To provide dignified, humane and compassionate care and training for canines, while offering peace of mind to their owners through competence and diligence.

Our Philosophy

Every dog that steps through the door of our licensed home is entitled to the honor and respect of being an individual with specific emotional, mental and physical needs. Each dog is treated as a member of our family. They are loved and hugged with daily opportunities to hike, run and play - just as they naturally would! Their environment is nurturing, interactive, and fun coupled with training that is gentle, humane and positive! This unique experience will shape your dog’s behavior without breaking the will or spirit.

The true-in-home B&B training experience we offer is like no other in the United States: we shape your dog’s behavior while valuing his spirit and individuality. Your dog’s learning environment will be in our home with a climate that's calm yet stimulating, structured yet varied, and conducive to learning the goals you have set out. Your best friend will settle in like family as he even sleeps in our house. The real life experience of living in our home and community is essential for learning success. Our unique training techniques always foster compassion, gentleness and understanding.
