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.
Our Train & Coach Program Experience
This option is for owners who want to be part of the training experience.
You see your dog as part of the family, not a problem to fix. You care about how they learn, how you communicate, and how that relationship carries into everyday life. You want structure, guidance, and real understanding, not shortcuts.
In weekly sessions at our facility, you’ll work directly with your dog under trainer guidance. You’ll learn how to signal clearly, guide consistently, and reward appropriately so progress doesn’t stop when the session ends.
Between sessions, you’ll practice with purpose. Homework and trainer feedback help you stay aligned, build confidence, and keep learning together.
This is best suited for hands-on owners who value education, structure, and shared growth and who want to build a strong foundation they can rely on long after training is complete.
