Thousands of fulfilling dog-owner relationships

Certification is important but experience is the key.  Our training programs and classes were developed by Tecla Walton, a certified dog trainer with over 25 years of experience and thousands of successful dog-owner relationships to her credit. Her approach works for virtually every canine personality, from the most compliant to the most difficult. Tecla believes that dog training is both a science and an art.  It is easy to understand the science, but applying that science successfully to the many different types of human-dog relationships that trainers meet is truly an art.

I have greatly benefited from online coursework with my dog and the incredibly skilled training provided by Tecla Walton! I have done both in-person and virtual training for obedience and behavioral concerns and find the virtual learning environment to be so productive!

I have been training with Tecla for about 5 years. From puppy classes, to rally and also sport work. I have been fortunate to train in person and also through her virtual platform. I recently graduated from her virtual obedience class and it was easy to use and was just as effective. The time and effort that she takes in planning and presenting her lessons is amazing!

Tecla Walton is simply, unarguably one of the best dog trainers you will find. Period. I have known Tecla for over 12 years and have trained multiple dogs with her. I have taken puppy classes, basic obedience, advanced obedience, rally and had private lessons. All of her classes were always detailed, structured, highly valuable and effective.
