I want to express my gratitude to all my clients for this accomplishment! Running a small business is challenging, and your support throughout the years has meant so much to me. I'm excited to continue our journey in dog training together!
The short answer is yes. When hiring a dog trainer, it is important to know what questions to ask. It should be a priority to ask about the trainer's qualifications, certifications/licensure and ethics; whatmethods the trainer will use when working with your dog, and what the trainer will actually teach you and your dog.
Certified dog trainers undergo testing and are held to higher standards compared to those without certification. To maintain their certification, they must pursue ongoing education in canine behavior and stay updated with the latest science and research. Licensed professionals are required to complete an interview process and pay annual dues, ensuring they uphold the mission, ethics, and integrity of the organization they are affiliated with.

Decompressing and completing the stress cycle is essential—not just for you, but for your dog too. Our private trails offer the perfect environment to connect with your dog and nature in a peaceful, stress-free setting.
Canine welfare includes allowing your dog to engage in natural behaviors—like sniffing, exploring, and simply experiencing joy in a safe, natural environment. Regular decompression walks can significantly improve your dog’s well-being.
Our trails are ideal for fearful or reactive dogs who need space from triggers. They provide a calm setting to build confidence, process social stimuli, and enjoy their time without added stress.
We offer trainer-led group walks and private sessions. Whether you're looking for relaxation, enrichment, or a chance to reinforce training in a real-world setting, our Nature Trail Walks are designed to support both dogs and their humans.
