Mission Statement
My mission is for every family and their dogs, to live together seamlessly. To give dog owners the skills to bring out the best in their dog. To do this, we as humans need to learn how to communicate with our dogs. Months and years of "bad behavior" are side effects that come with the lack of structure and poor communication with your dog. I am here to teach people how to “speak” dog. Communicatiing properly will strenghten your realtionship and bond with your dog.
My Name is Teresa Harpstrite. I grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois called New Baden. For the last 20+ years I have worked with rescues and animal control facilities in my county and in St. Louis, Missouri. I have fostered THOUSANDS of dogs, trained and rehabilitated "bad dogs", shy puppy mill dogs and dogs that needed obedience training to have a better chance at adoption. I've shadowed some outstanding dog behaviorist and worked with some amazing trainers. I also owned a Doggie Daycare and Boarding business. Four years ago I sold it and moved South !! As a professional, I worked as the training manager at a great facility in the upstate in which I found how much I LOVE (and miss) training dogs and their people. I am finally able to open my own facility and continue with my passion.
My Pack
I am a huge dog lover and pack leader of 14 wonderful pups. From a 140 lb. French Mastiff to a 4 lb. tiny chihuahua, I just adore them all. Some are rescues that I just couldn't part with and some are breeds that I have always wanted to own. I can take one, or a few, anywhere and it is so nice to know they will behave appropriately.
