Through a dog's nose 

​Helping dogs and their people thrive together in
​ beautiful qathet/​Powell River, BC

​Does your dog need a
​manners tuneup?

Picture
We teach dogs the manners and life skills to live in our crazy human world. These all important skills help dogs stay safe. Dogs with good manners and life skills can go more places, do more things, and are easier to live with at home.

​Worried about your
​dog's behaviour?

Picture
LIving with serious behaviour issues, such as reactivity and aggression, is stressful. It can be difficult to see a way forward. We prioritize your dog's, and your family's, well-being as we work with you to find a successful resolution.
