Our story

Our certified trainer’s 20-year journey of dog training began in Europe at a very young age. She continued her studies in the United States with the accomplished and world-renowned trainers in the authentic German way of training, titled hundreds of dogs and winning world championships. As a top student, Andrea has built on the experience and wisdom passed onto her. Working for years directly under these top trainers she implemented their training technique in over a hundred dogs. In addition to regular on and off leash obedience training that most clients wish, she also trains dogs for the prestigious Schutzhund/ IPO/ IGP Competitions, a sport that tests a dog’s obedience, tracking and protection skills. Andrea’s two personal Rottweilers took first place in two competitions. Andrea also has a baccalaureate in psychology and an MBA. She conflates all of this training with the psychology of dogs to help each dog self-actualize. Her goal is to help bring out the best of each dog so, the dog and the owner have the most amazing experience together and build a bond that is unbreakable and brings years of joy to both.

Our Mission

To bring the best out of each dog and have them self-actualize, in addition to teach the owners how to ensure they keep their dog at peak performance. Since no two dogs are the same, we carefully customize training to reach the goals and objectives of the owner. Remember: A Trained Dog is a Happy Dog. An educated owner is the foundation of a strong bond. A strong bond between you and your dog is unbreakable.
