We empower our dogs to live stress-free lives.

Our Philosophy

We provide alternative options for prong, shock, and e-collars that cause a great deal of stress on your dog.

Understanding that your dog’s behaviour is primarily driven by instinct, we can work with our dog’s psychology to achieve positive change and create a relaxed, cooperative, and respectful friend.

We empower our dogs to have stress-free lives.

“When I first brought Auggie home, he was fearful - even afraid of water. After some dedicated training with Susan he’s been totally transformed. He listens to commands, is sociable, and even loves to swim!”
