About us
Over the last 5 years, Dirk and Kat have been helping people care for their dogs and improve the relationship and communication between canine and human. Making it an official business in October 2022, we aim to help dog owners have the best possible lives with their beloved companions. Dog ownership isn’t always straightforward, and we help with the hurdles that come along the way. Our approach to dog training is keeping it simple and easy to understand for the owner, yet effective and clear to the dog. We guarantee results from the first lesson.
Both life long Peorians, we feel this job allows us to give back to our community in a fulfilling and unique way by helping our neighbors live better lives with their canines.
We look forward to helping you build better communication between you and your dog!
Training philosophy and teaching background:
Much of our dog training philosophy focuses on owner education being just as important as the dog’s education. We believe to be effective dog trainers, we must be effective educators to the owner by providing the tools and techniques needed for successful dog ownership.
Dirk pursued multiple other teaching interests prior to dog training, including 5 years in high school special education, 3 years as an Axe Throwing Coach, and years of various other teaching and learning interests. This unique background has helped provide a diverse (and slightly humorous) background as a teacher/educator before dog training full time.
