A STABLE DOG, Not A Perfect ONE.

Schedule an Evaluation to Get Started
Board and Train
Your dog spends four weeks at my home and ranch, building obedience, confidence, and reliable real-world skills. You’ll receive regular updates throughout their stay and six months of complimentary post-training support.
Trainer Note: This program is especially well suited for aggressive or reactive dogs who need time to decompress and settle into a structured environment.
Private Coaching
These one-on-one sessions are tailored to your dog’s specific needs, helping you work through challenging behaviors and build practical skills you can use at home and in everyday life.
This service is designed for owners who want personalized guidance and are ready to take an active role as their dog’s primary handler throughout the training process.
Foundations Program
This monthly program is designed for puppies and dogs who don’t have significant behavioral challenges. It provides consistent guidance to help your dog build confidence, good manners, and a strong foundation for everyday life.
Did you just bring home a new puppy? Or does your adult dog need a refresher on obedience and good manners? This program is a great place to start.

HEAR FROM CLIENTS
“I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re struggling to communicate with your dog. Having a fully trained behaviorist assess and direct your training is incredibly valuable and can save you and your pup a lot of frustration.”
— Calandra L.
“I really just have amazing things to say about Kourtni. She completely helped transform how we saw dog training and got me over the hump (as an experienced dog owner) of some things our dog was struggling with. She is so professional in a approachable way and the community she creates with all her clientele is really awesome and a great way to keep up with your dogs training. I would recommend her 1000% if your looking for a great trainer and behaviorist for your dog to lead a better life.”
— Timber E.
“I would highly recommend her class and her training services. I love that she’s not just focused on training the dog but more focused on teaching the owner. At the end of the day, the owner is responsible for lasting change and she sees that through. I absolutely love her approach. It’s down to earth, actionable, and it MAKES SENSE. Meet the dog’s needs so it can produce the behavior you want.”
— Megan A.
