Why This Exists

We almost rehomed our own dog.

Pumper is our Dalmatian. We're a firefighter/EMS family, and with 24–48 hour shifts there was no consistency for him. He was peeing in the house, chewed through thousands of dollars of patio furniture, and he was dominant, prey driven and chasing squirrels — completely out of control. Our sweet dog had become a stressor, and we honestly asked ourselves whether rehoming him would be kinder. Then a training program turned it around. We saw real improvement in Pumper within the first couple of weeks, and in about eight weeks he was a different dog. That's why we do this.

Common Challenges

Tired of feeling frustrated or embarrassed by your dog's behavior?

You've tried the videos, the classes, the advice from friends. Nothing sticks. Most dogs don't need more commands — they need clear, calm leadership.

Barking

At the doorbell, the window, the neighbor's dog, the leaf that moved. You've stopped answering the door without bracing first.

Potty training & accidents

You come home and check the rug before you check your messages. The enzyme cleaner is on every shopping list.

Leash pulling

Your shoulder knows the walk is over before your dog does. Half the time you just open the back door instead.

No reliable recall

"Come" works in the kitchen. Outside, with the gate open, it means nothing — and you know exactly how that could end.

Destructive chewing

Cushions, shoes, door frames, patio furniture. You add up what it's cost you and try not to finish the math.

Chasing & prey drive

One squirrel and your arm is nearly out of its socket. Cats, birds, bikes — the whole world is something to chase.

Our Programs

A program built for your dog. Not a checklist.

Every dog is assessed individually. Your plan is shaped around your dog's temperament, your lifestyle, and the results you want most.

Board & Train

In-home training is our preference — boarding is available when it suits your dog or household better.

  • Talk it through at your evaluation
How We Train

Training happens where the behavior happens.

The accidents, the chewing, the barking at the door — they happen at home, so that's where we train. Every program starts with an in-home evaluation, then a plan built around your dog and your household.

Your evaluation happens in your home, where the behavior actually shows up — and every program is built around your dog and your household.

Meet Angela

It started with Pumper.

I'm Angela Benazouz. Our Dalmatian, Pumper, was out of control — and with a firefighter/EMS schedule, we almost rehomed him. A training program changed that. Now I want the same for you: a dog you can fully love, enjoy and take anywhere.
