ABOUT US
We understand that your dog is an incredibly important part of your life! And when their attitude isn't the best, that can really get in the way of enjoying their company like you want! Or if you have just gotten your new best friend and you want to make sure to get them started on the right path but that feels incredibly daunting, we have the experience to help you achieve your goals with training.
Our Lead Trainer, Savannah, has been working with dogs professionally for over 8 years. Savannah is an avid dog lover and found that her ability to interpret, understand, and effectively communicate "dog" to dog parents is a passion of hers. Savannah has worked with many mentors over the years, and is continually studying to increase her knowledge and understanding of all things dog. Savannah has worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds. Savannah's focus is to not only train your dog, but teach you the skills you need to be successful after your time with her is over.
Savannah Has two dogs of her own, a border collie/blue heeler and a border collie/mix. She will be the first to tell you that she has faced challenges of her own with her dogs. These challenges connect her passion and determination to help others succeed on an empathetic level. She has worked with dogs who were on their last leg, before the worst, become good citizens and happy family members. Along with young puppies just starting out life, teaching their parents how to ensure their success in adulthood. No matter where your dog is at right now, rest assured knowing that when you work with Savannah, you are working with an experienced and caring professional!
We have 2 mini Aussie puppies, litter mates…they were driving us crazy, and one of them was running the whole show at our house! We had done nothing in the way of training them, were free feeding them and they were 1 1/2 yrs old…we couldn’t even get them completely house trained. Savannah came into our home, and from her first visit, things changed…drastically, and for the better. She taught us how to take control of our lives and house back from the dogs! Now, they are both crate trained and we all get to sleep, all night!

My family and I are so grateful for the time we spent with Savannah. She was able to provide training to my entire family and set us up to be successful going forward with our four-legged friend. Her training methods are easy to follow and very effective. We saw results almost immediately. She came prepared to all appointments, and made an immediate impact on all of us. Thank you so much!

Savannah is an amazing trainer. Truly a miracle worker. She has helped me with my Brittany spaniel trying to get him to listen more and having a space to shut off and sleep or relax. She has also helped with my mom and sisters dogs and I’m beyond impressed from all three of the dogs’ progress. Constantly recommending her to random people and family members!!

Savannah did wonders for my Zeus, a stubborn and willful & so loving and sweet Siberian Husky. She taught him to walk with me and keep attention on me. Zeus 1000% (yes a thousand) listens more to what we are saying to him. She's given me the tools to guide Zeus into the gentle and polite Siberian Husky. And this dog mama was bursting with pride when Zeus's daycare just blurted out to me one day "Hey, Zeus is listening to what I say and no bolting when we have to catch him". That was the best compliment!!
