About Us
Our Story
We approach dog training with the compassion and understanding that every dog has a unique, individual way of expressing the same biological instincts and behaviors. Dogs have to live in a world built for humans, and that world can inevitably conflict with how dogs are genetically inclined to operate; our duty as owners and trainers is to offer empathic, fair, and direct guidance and leadership through a fulfilled life.
Owners Lyra and Ross are born and raised Vermonters and have worked with dogs for nearly their entire adult lives. They have trained, socialized, and cared for thousands of dogs over the previous 10+ years in leadership roles at a local dog daycare, training, and boarding facility.
Both have dedicated their professional lives to continuous development of their skill-sets. They continue to seek out and learn from the best professional canine educators in the dog care industry at every chance they get.
