About Us
We’re Daniel and Madeline—a husband and wife team with a shared passion for animal behavior and care. Since 2017, we've been providing pet services in the Reno, NV area.
​
Our journey began with in-home dog boarding and sitting. While we appreciated the community's support, we often encountered dogs in states of over-arousal, mismanagement, and misunderstanding. This motivated us to make a more significant impact on the lives of these dogs and their owners.
​
With a solid foundation in canine behavior and operant conditioning, and positive feedback from clients noting improved manners in their dogs after stays with us, we sought to deepen our knowledge. We spent over a year traveling full-time, dedicating ourselves to learning and training, ultimately developing our unique style.
​
Upon returning to Northern Nevada, we launched our dog training services, experiencing immediate success. We find fulfillment in strengthening the bonds between handlers and their dogs.
​
Our experience spans various dog breeds and even different species. We consider ourselves animal trainers, not just dog trainers. We've worked with dogs of diverse temperaments, backgrounds, and ages, tailoring our approach to each unique case. We believe in training the dog in front of us, ensuring methods and expectations align with individual needs for the highest success rate.
​
Our goal is to teach you how to effectively communicate with your companion in a way that's understandable and empowering for both of you.
​
We are committed to continuous learning, staying updated on modern techniques to best assist our clients, both new and old.
Madeline
Madeline has always lived closely with animals and began training dogs for friends and family as a young teenager. At 18, she was hired as a dog trainer in a pet store, and her passion only grew. Before long, she was training dogs privately and providing full-time pet care. She has a keen interest in genetics, early development, and dog sports.
Daniel
Daniel spent 10 years in the restaurant industry, always knowing he wanted to work with animals and have more meaningful, lasting interactions with people. While the restaurant industry taught him valuable customer service and leadership skills, his true pursuit was animal behavior. He has a special interest in using play as a training tool and respecting the genetic tendencies of each dog he works with.
