Worried your dog’s special needs will keep them from living a full, vibrant, and active life?
When your dog has special needs, it’s not just their abilities that shift — your relationship with them changes too. Pet parents like you often feel like outsiders. Finding people who understand that is a challenge.
We specialize in special needs dogs and are here to help.
Our Creating Confidence program is for dogs like yours.
Whether you’ve adopted a special needs dog or are living with a dog whose abilities are changing, our Creating Confidence Program is the exact support you and your dog need to thrive inside your home and out in the real world.
We’re experts at helping special needs dogs blossom into confidence!
Two ways to train
Day Training
With day training, we do the hands-on work for you, using science-backed, compassionate methods to build real skills with your dog. You get the benefits of professional training without the stress of doing it all alone — and your dog gets consistent, high-quality sessions that help them learn faster and with less frustration.
It’s a perfect fit for busy guardians, reactive or sensitive dogs, and anyone who wants strong results and a strong relationship.
1:1 Private Sessions
Private coaching sessions give you personalized support, step-by-step guidance, and compassionate troubleshooting as you learn to understand your dog’s needs and teach them in a way that feels good for both of you. We work side by side to build trust, connection, and calm — at a pace that works for you.
Perfect for guardians who want to grow with their dog and feel empowered every step of the way.
