The company’s approach centers on building a partnership between dog and owner, rooted in clear communication and mutual understanding. Sessions are customized and often require only a few visits to establish lasting behavioral change. The founder’s background includes professional show jumping, broadcast journalism, and co-ownership of a racehorse, but his focus has long been on animal behavior. His personal journey includes rescuing and rehabilitating dogs with severe trauma, including Pops, a Tosa Inu rescued in 2020 who was abused and unable to walk, now thriving as a service dog. Other notable cases include Bodhi, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever rescued from a meth lab, and Wicket, a neurologically blind Jack Russell/Poodle mix. These experiences inform the company’s compassionate, trauma-informed methods.
