In every dog pack there has to be a leader.

Who is the leader of your pack?

Meet the Family…!

I have been studying dogs, dog training and dog behavior professionally for
almost twenty years now … all of it here in Winston-Salem, NC.

This is Humphrey. Humphrey is a 5 month old Golden Doodle who is part of our Residency Program. 5 months old – It looks like he is going to be a big boy! Fantastic guy who is going to be a great member of the family.

This is Spartan. Spartan is a 10 month old Doberman I have been working with in our Residency Program. He is already huge … and very friendly. He is all puppy and loves to play. Our challenge is to allow him that play time all puppies need; but, to let him know there are rules to proper play.

Meet Gigi. Gigi is a 2 year old rescue pup that is a combination of maltese, yorkie (my opinion) and chihuahua. She is visiting for our Day Training Camp. My wife thought she was so cute in her blue dress all ready for school.

Here is Sidney on going home day with Moses, on of our dog testers. He really is a sweet boy.

Meet Baxter. Baxter is a one year old Great Dane that I had visit us for our Residency Program. Great Danes are fantastic dogs; but, it is important to be their leader … 24/7! Fortunately, Baxter has good leaders.

This is Izzy. She is a 3 year old Yorkie rescue that visited us for our Residency Program. This is the 2nd Yorkie from the same family we had the pleasure of working with. The first one was Charlie if anyone remembers. He is a happy camper and now has Izzy to play with.
