Meet the Pack

The Canine Pack

In addition to the trainees you will also see our own dogs, their offspring and the occasional rescue pups.

Our adults are a well trained stable pack, so they help us rehabilitate dogs with behavioral issues, and also lead by example for our new arrivals. Some of our puppies stay to complete our companion dog training program, and those are the dogs you see available as our trained pups. You rest assured that there will always be a fun group of dogs of all different ages and breeds to help us with the playtime, here at the Academy!

Meet our Furry and Feathery Friends

To help us with the training and for pure pleasure we also own cats, both indoor and outdoor. Many of them love people and will come greet any visitors and climb the fence to hang out with us and the dogs. They are the ones that make it possible for us to rehabilitate dogs with cat aggression.

Since we (and the dogs) love to eat eggs we also have chickens. They also help us with natural pest control and provide another type of distraction for the pups, to help us teach them how to curb their prey drive.

In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.

- Edward Hoagland

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

- Josh Billings

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

Mark Twain
Storyteller and Novelist

You can teach an old dog new tricks. Any dog can be taught to do anything.
