About Our Trainer
Randi Bird

“I became certified in basic dog training in 2013 and have been working with dogs ever since. I decided to get certified in hopes of finding a position at a pet store, but ended up opening my own business working with both private clients and rescues and never looked back. I’ve always been able to understand and read an animal’s energy and love that I can now teach other people to do the same. It helps build even stronger relationships between a person and their pets. I love seeing an owner succeed whether it’s basic commands or helping work through more serious behaviors.”

Training for every age and stage

We offer a wide range of classes for puppies, teenagers and adult dogs.

Basic training

Teach your pup of any age the fundamentals of dog life. They’ll learn essential commands like sit, down, come, stay and “leave it,” plus proper walking-on-leash etiquette.

Advanced training

Take your dog’s skills to the next level with trick training and agility courses. We can also help break persistent bad habits.

We make learning fun

Our experienced instructors use positive reinforcement to help your pet master new skills. We can teach your pup in different settings with 1:1 instruction, group classes or through our Board & Train program.

1-on-1

Get distraction-free training in a private setting with one of our amazing instructors.

Group classes

Put your dog in a class that’s social yet small, where they’ll get the attention they deserve.

Board & Train

Make your pup’s boarding experience an educational getaway. Your pet will enjoy 1-on-1 training during their stay and go home with tons of new skills to show off.

Randi does such a wonderful job with Bodhi! She is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and she is fairly priced! We’re blessed to have her come work with Bodhi.”

Randi has been such a great help with our rescue Bull Terrier. Due to her difficult circumstances as a puppy, Lucy came to us lacking exposure to other dogs and therefore has a tendency to be reactive in public. She has been helping us with her at home and out in public and she is making amazing progress – 5 stars!
