Our programs are designed to build strong foundations and lasting skills at affordable prices, ensuring both you and your dog are set up for success.
Our Story
Karlee and Dallon have dedicated their lives to animal training, bringing decades of combined experience to the table. Karlee’s journey into training started early, as she grew up in a family that specialized in training both horses and dogs. Over time, while working with other professional dog trainers, she developed her own unique style, blending traditional methods with a personalized touch that ensured each animal was not only trained, but genuinely connected with their handler. Her focus was especially on training dogs for a commercial breeding business, giving her an extensive foundation in obedience and behavior.
When Karlee met Dallon, their shared passion for animals and training quickly brought them together, and they combined their expertise to raise the bar even higher. Dallon’s natural talent with animals emerged when he trained his first dog, Bronco, teaching him to follow hand signals and retrieve objects. After high school, Dallon moved to California, where he worked under a professional trainer and trained up to 25 dogs per day. This experience gave him a unique edge in the world of dog training—an opportunity many trainers never get. Upon returning to his hometown, he started his own gun dog training business, focused on simplifying the training process and making it accessible for both dogs and their owners. His approach was centered on building confidence and achieving results that last.
Together, Karlee and Dallon emphasize the importance of clear communication and simple, effective training. They believe in building strong, lasting habits in animals and making the training experience as rewarding for the owner as it is for the dog. While they don’t offer horse training services to the public, their shared love for horses plays a big part in their lives. Karlee and Dallon enjoy buying, training, and selling horses for personal enjoyment, as well as for activities like showing. Their combined expertise in both dog and horse training provides clients with a well-rounded and comprehensive approach to animal care, setting them apart in the world of animal training.
