OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our Philosophy: Training That Fits Your Life
We use a Balanced/LIMA approach: ethical, lifestyle-based training. We start by getting to know you, your lifestyle and your dog, then build a plan around your real routine, creating a relationship built on trust, boundaries and fun. Every program is individualized to you and your dog as a team.
Meet Your Trainer
Hi, I'm Jonathan Aranda. For 13 years I've trained dogs professionally, from family pets to service dogs, protection dogs and everything in between. As a certified pet nutritionist, I look at the whole dog, not just the behavior. My Balanced/LIMA approach keeps training ethical and built around the life you actually live, and every plan is individualized to you and your dog as a team. I'd love to help the two of you get there.
What We Help With
Great training starts with a great relationship. We build that bond first through reward and play, then use it to shape the everyday manners and life skills that make your dog a joy to live with.
Relationship building: reward-based training and play that build trust, focus, and a dog who wants to work with you
Puppy foundations: potty training, crate training, and good habits from day one
House manners: no jumping on guests, calm greetings, settling, and staying off counters and furniture
Rescue dog transitions: helping your new dog settle in, build trust, and feel confident in their new home
Leash skills: no more pulling, plus calm walks past dogs, people, and distractions
Leash reactivity: less lunging and barking on walks
Reliable recall: a dog who comes when called, every time
Public confidence: calm, polite behavior at stores, patios, parks, and the vet
On- and off-leash obedience: dependable sit, down, place, and heel, including e-collar training
