Refined Behavior. Restored Balance. Remarkable Companionship.

Nestled in the Heart of Vermont’s Countryside

Our training center is located in a lovingly revitalized historic Vermont home, where classic New England charm meets thoughtful, modern functionality. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and old stone walls, the home dates back to the 1700s and retains much of its original character—wide-plank wood floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and large sun-filled windows that look out onto peaceful meadows.

Inside, the space is designed to feel welcoming and calm—for both dogs and their people. Training areas are thoughtfully arranged to create a structured yet home-like environment, helping dogs feel at ease as they learn and grow. Outdoors, expansive fields and shaded walking paths offer ample room for leash work, socialization, and real-world training scenarios.

This unique setting offers a quiet, grounding atmosphere where focus and connection come naturally. It’s a place where history, nature, and expert guidance come together to help you build a better relationship with your dog.

“Francisco has the ability to read dogs in a way no one else does. He helps owners gain knowledge and confidence with their challenging dogs and affords us the opportunity to be the best leaders we can be.”
