Service Dog Training

In our service dog training, Kevin Lanouette is deeply committed to supporting individuals—including veterans and first responders—who may be dealing with PTSD, TBI, or other challenges. By blending patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of canine behavior, we tailor each training session to the dog's unique needs, often incorporating the calming power of the outdoors and nature. Through positive reinforcement and this nature-infused approach, we build strong bonds and create successful service dog partnerships that truly make a difference..

Residential Dog Training

In our Residential Training programs, we offer a comprehensive, personalized experience tailored to your dog's needs, including advanced off-leash obedience training. In a structured and nurturing environment, your dog will not only learn essential commands and behavior modification, but also gain the freedom and confidence to walk politely in busy areas, relax at cafes, or hike off-leash. This advanced training helps your dog become a well-mannered companion and a trusted protector, providing security and companionship wherever you go. So by the time they return home, the transition is smooth and they’re ready to be an even more integrated part of your family.

Basic Obedience Training

Our Basic Obedience program is all about laying a solid foundation for your dog with a warm, nature-inspired approach. We focus on positive reinforcement and understanding your dog's unique personality, so they learn essential commands and good manners in a way that feels natural and confidence-building. By the end, your dog will be a polite and happy companion, ready to be a more harmonious part of your family life.
