Southern Oregon Dog Training

A WELL TRAINED DOG IS A HAPPY DOG!

  • The dog who got us started!

    Duke, the striking Doberman Pinscher who graces our logo, joined our family at just 8 weeks old. From the moment he bounded into our lives, we devoted countless hours to training him during those formative first 18 months. The bond we formed was profound; he quickly became the most remarkable companion and family dog one could ever wish for. The joy, loyalty, and love he brought into our home are almost beyond description. His spirit ignited our ambition to assist others in training their own beloved animals.

    At the age of 3, we relocated back to our hometown of Grants Pass, Oregon. It was here that Duke inspired us to establish our own dog training business, turning a dream into reality. Tragically, Duke's journey was cut short when he passed away from osteosarcoma in July of 2021. Those nine incredible years with him were filled with laughter, adventure, and unconditional love, and his absence will be felt for a lifetime. Yet, the mission he set in motion continues to thrive, fueling our passion to teach others the most effective and humane methods for training and understanding their dogs.

    Following Duke's diagnosis, we felt it was crucial to explore the best nutrition options for our dogs. This quest not only deepened our knowledge but also ignited a fervor within us to share our insights with clients. Today, we proudly provide premium dog food at exceptional prices! You’re welcome to visit our inviting facility during open hours on Fridays or Mondays between 3 and 6 PM, or opt for the convenience of having it delivered straight to your doorstep.
