About Us
Our journey started in the early 1990s when I worked for my father in his large breeding kennel. There I learned the basics of K-9 handling and care as well as the importance of basic obedience training. Since then I have owned and trained my own dogs for use as pets as well as working animals. In 2015 I started offering my training services to friends and family. This quickly grew by word of mouth into a steady business. Through quality care and proven training tactics I have built a knowledge base that has been successful at obedience training all types of breeds large and small. Our facility is located at our home on a 13acre acreage so the dogs have constant supervision. We have large play yards for regular exercise times as well as a forest area with a pond for extra walks and swimming time. Our facilities are sanitized daily and regularly inspected by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
