We do more than teach obedience; we help you and your dog build a meaningful relationship rooted in mutual trust and respect.

We are a women-owned business based in Duluth, MN. Our approach blends obedience training with a focus on mindset and emotional balance—for both dogs and their humans. We believe that lasting change begins with structure, rules, and boundaries, but truly thrives when paired with emotional clarity and a calm, confident energy.

We integrate e-collar training as a foundational element in developing clear, consistent communication between dogs and their owners. It’s not a shortcut or a fallback—it’s a valuable tool that, when used with care and intention, helps us connect with each dog at their individual level.

Our mission is to guide you in developing a balanced relationship with your dog—one where leadership is kind, boundaries are empowering, and communication is clear. Whether you’re dealing with basic manners or some behavioral challenges, we’re here to support you and your dog toward a calmer, more enjoyable life together.

Training doesn’t stop the moment your dog leaves our care—it continues with you back at home. Your dog can make great strides during their time here, but the true transformation unfolds when you feel confident and capable in guiding them through your daily life together and we are here to help you achieve that!
