“It was a breath of fresh air to work with her (Simone) and to see such quick results.”-Blake Hart
What makes our training unique is our step-by-step approach. Every program begins with private lessons, where we focus on understanding your dog’s unique personality, habits, and your specific goals. This personalized foundation allows us to address issues like leash pulling and replace it with calm, in-control leash walks; turn jumping up into polite greetings; and swap counter surfing or stealing food with settled, relaxed behavior.
“Seeing the behaviors fall into place and the confidence of my dog soar is an amazing thing, and Simone makes it happen!” – Alice Mitchell
Once you have completed your initial private lesson, you’ll transition into group classes designed to reinforce skills in real-world scenarios. These classes provide a supportive environment where your dog learns to remain focused and well-behaved even around distractions.
“Since November she (Cassie) has improved significantly with her confidence, manners, socialization and obedience.” – Amy Patton
We believe effective dog training shouldn’t break the bank. That’s why we offer quality programs at a price that delivers exceptional value. With our proven methods and expert trainers, you’ll gain confidence knowing your dog’s behavior will improve—and stay that way.

Budget friendly payments available!
Additional fee for multiple dogs determined on a case by case basis.
E-Collar Training
Unlock clear communication and off-leash freedom with positive e-collar training—using correct, proven techniques to build trust, reliability, and a stronger bond with your dog!
The intent of our E-Collar training is freedom for the owner/K9 team!
Off leash freedom for the dog is a wonderful, enhancing life experience! I love to explore new places with my dog and allow her the freedom to flat out run with safety in place! Having confidence knowing your dog understands the weird sensation on their neck and having the right response in your communication with the tool opens new adventures for you and your dog for life!
I reserve E-Collar training to an owner/K9 team once I see the dog clearly understands all the basic commands inside and out. Either through private lessons or completion of our Advanced Program. My goal is to promote success for the lifetime of your dog by spending ample time educating you, the owner, on the tool before we teach your dog. I take a conservative slow and steady approach to achieve this. Training is held at a variety of locations.
5 Sessions, 60-90 min each
Includes E-Collar
Budget friendly payments available!
Private Dog Park
Give your dog the ultimate off-leash freedom in a safe, private dog park—exclusively for Confident K9 clients—where they can run, play, and train without distractions!
