Our philosophy is
Positive Balanced Dog Training™
Developed by Founder Russ Norcross this foundation shapes how we approach behavior, learning, and leadership. We balance structure, clarity, and fair reinforcement.
Our exclusive framework is our signature and proven L.E.A.D System of Learning
Learn • Expect • Apply • Deepen
The same process used to train thousands of working and family K-9 teams nationwide.
Every dog — and every owner — learns differently.
That’s why we customize the path, not just the commands.
Stay & Train + Coach Program Experience
Immersive structure with guided owner follow-through.
This option is designed for owners who want a fully immersive training experience supported by professional structure and ongoing coaching.
Your dog lives and trains with our team full-time, allowing for consistent routines, focused repetitions, and carefully managed exposure. This environment supports the development of calm behavior, clear obedience, and reliable habits that are difficult to establish in short sessions alone.
After the boarding phase, coaching sessions help you understand what your dog has learned and how to maintain structure at home.
The goal isn’t just progress during training—it’s continuity once your dog returns to everyday life.
This program is best suited for owners who want an intensive foundation built by experienced trainers, paired with the guidance needed to carry that success forward with confidence.
