Helping You and Your Dog Thrive
Dog training is about more than obedience—it's about giving your dog the kind of life they were meant to have: one that’s fulfilling, enriching, and full of connection. A well-trained dog enjoys more freedom to explore the world, join in on adventures, and be part of everyday life. The goal is to build that foundation so you and your dog can enjoy a bigger, happier life together.

About Nate Liebermann
Nate’s journey began over 13 years ago when he brought home his golden retriever, Jack, at just 10 weeks old. He instantly fascinated by how dogs learn, communicate, and relate to people—and has been hooked on training ever since. Nate earned his credentials through the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers, but his education didn’t stop there.
He has a love of diving deep into new techniques and approaches, because no two dogs—or training plans—are ever the same. Over the years, Nate has had the privilege of being mentored by some of the top dog behavior experts in the U.S., continually expanding his knowledge to better serve the dogs and people he works with.
