The owner and trainer, Karen Cobb, began training dogs in 1994 and started her professional practice in 1997. She studied psychology at the University of Miami and apprenticed under other trainers before focusing on behavior issues, problem solving, and aggression problems. In 2009, she acquired a Briard named Norman, whom she initially trained for obedience and agility competition. Norman went on to learn tricks such as wiping his paws, riding a bicycle, riding a scooter, skateboarding, jump roping, and surfing. Karen and Norman appeared in two seasons of the reality show "Who Let the Dogs Out?" on the Hallmark and Animal Planet channels. The business reports having trained dogs that hold Guinness World Records.
