Are you looking for more than just your basic obedience class? Want the focus to be on you, your family, and your dog, instead of getting lost in the mix with 6-10 other dogs.
You need the CONFIDENCE that your dog is going to listen every time, no matter the distractions, no matter if you have treats or their favorite toy with you. We aren’t your typical dog trainers, we work on your dog’s state of mind. If your dog is stressed, anxious, over-excited, crazy, chaotic- their mind is constantly ON, we will teach your dog to CALM those thoughts and become a functional member of your family.

Let me explain what this means for you:
- Your dog no longer jumps on guests when they come through the door. They greet your guests calmly and politely.
- You don’t have to worry about what your dog is doing while you are making dinner because your dog will go to, and stay on their bed- on command.
- Your dog doesn’t have to lose it’s mind when you can have company over. Your dog will be calm and polite when guests arrive.
- Your dog doesn’t just listen when you’re at home. Your dog will listen at home, outside, at the store, downtown, at the park… wherever you go.
…That is what state of mind means to us!
There are no age, breed or weight restrictions. Our programs can work for any dog.
We have a program for you, to get HELP now, request a call back!
Our programs are specifically designed for not only your dog, but your family too.
Whether you have a dog who refuses to walk calmly through the neighborhood, a dog who steals food off the counter and knocks the kids over. Or if you’re afraid of what your dog might do if you try to pick something up off the ground, if your dog jumps on guests, goes crazy at the sight of another dog, we will customize a program to fit YOUR needs.
GIVE US A CALL AND TELL US ABOUT YOUR DOG, WE’RE HERE TO HELP!

Linda was so helpful with my new rescue Maple! Maple had been unable to be around my cat. All she would do is chase and try to eat the cat. It was really stressing my poor cat out and he couldn’t hang out with us in the living room since adopting Maple. With Linda’s help we are now a calm house! The name is true! Chaos to Calm! -Amber W.
**Remember these programs include certain commands, HOWEVER! We can customize it to your needs, if the program doesn’t include something you are looking for let us know! It is as EASY as that.
Break the Chaos
Right now, your dog isn’t listening and it is embarrassing.
You can’t walk your dog down the street without being pulled along or your dog is stopping to smell the flowers and makes walking impossible and frustrating, you can’t have guests over without your dog going crazy, and barking and jumping on them!
Now imagine you could go for a walk, with your dog walking calmy by your side.
Imagine when guests come over, your dog is calm and goes to lay on a bed instead of barking and jumping.
We are here to help with whatever you are going through, we understand your frustration, and trust us when we say- YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
What it includes: On-leash foundation 3 lessons (1hr each)
- 3 private on-leash lessons in the comfort of your own home
- We customize your lessons to meet your needs- an example of what could be covered:
- loose leash walking (You can enjoy going for a walk or jog with a dog who isn’t trying to drag you down the street, or stopping every 2 seconds to smell the flowers, which leaves you frustrated and just wanting to turn around and go home.)
- house manners (no more jumping, stealing food, barking uncontrollably, nipping),
- place (You can have your dog relax around family activities, and you won’t have to constantly be checking to see where he/she is and what they are getting into, go to your bed and be calm),
- leave it (ew, what is that? Stop worrying about what your dog is picking up outside before they come give you a kiss on the face, they won’t touch it anymore!)

- Unlimited email/text correspondence even after training is complete
- Any necessary non-electronic training collar, treat bag
Completely Calm
Want to break the chaos and create calm?
You want the freedom to truly enjoy your dog, you want to stop worrying about how your dog will act and you want to stop being frustrated at your dog’s selective listening.
Stop your dog from stealing food, jumping on guests, barking and more!
Imagine walking down the street with your dog next to you, not a care in the world, instead of stopping every 2 seconds so they can smell the flowers or take a break, or trying to see how fast they can drag you to their favorite potty spot.
Imagine calling your dog, and they actually come right back to you!
We know how frustrating it can be, repeating commands over and over, just to get even a little acknowledgment from your dog.
It is super annoying and you’re not enjoying your dog like you imagined you would (it’s ok to admit!)
With the Completely Calm program, we go beyond the basics and work on building those listening skills, so that you can finally enjoy having a dog.
This is our MOST POPULAR program!
