Philosophy statement

Our primary philosophy is that a loving and respectful relationship between you and your dog means a happier, less stressful life for both of you. We help people build that relationship through better understanding and communication with their canine companion using positive reinforcement training. Our teaching is rooted in the science of Animal Learning Theory, including a combination of reward-based classical and operant conditioning.  

We offer a variety of group classes and private training sessions that combine fun and learning. We will help you provide your pet the positive experiences needed to build a long-lasting, valuable working, and loving relationship.

Mission statement

The primary mission of In the Company of Canines is to strengthen the human-canine bond and create more compassionate communities through positive reinforcement training.
