Our flagship Thrive Board & Train Program is an immersive, results-driven system designed to help your dog master calm, confident, and reliable behavior on and off leash.

With daily hands-on training from myself and Meagan, your dog will live and learn in a structured, enriching environment, receiving the personalized care and attention they need to truly thrive.

You'll get ongoing support and coaching to ensure the transformation continues at home, so you can enjoy a lifetime of trust, freedom, and harmony together.

Hours spent searching for training fixes online, but nothing actually changes your dog's behavior.

Your dog's behavior is keeping you from the adventures and freedom you both deserve.

One day it's better, the next day it's back to square one with no lasting improvement.

You've hired trainers before, but saw no lasting results or meaningful change.

Prior to training with Lydia, we had trouble with our dog only respecting one of us, not being polite on walks, trouble with impulse control and just overall behavior. At one point, my husband was the only one who could walk him due to his size and pushing boundaries with me.

Now, I can confidently walk him, take him to dog parks alone and have trust in his behavior and responsiveness to me. We can't say enough great things about our experience with Lydia and highly recommend her.

Create lasting change in your dog's behavior without wasting months on trial and error.

Learn how to get your dog responsive in any environment, especially when treats don't work.

Build a recall you can bet your life on, giving you true freedom and peace of mind.

Understand what drives your dog's behavior so you can guide them through any challenge with confidence.

Eliminate everyday habits that unknowingly make unwanted behaviors worse.

Build a connection so strong that listening becomes second nature for your dog.

We poured ourselves into the work: more obedience, more redirection, more structure, more enrichment. But no matter how hard we tried, the breakthroughs never stuck.

That's when, through key mentorships and years of trial and error, we began to see what was really missing.

Most dog owners spend years bouncing between training methods: trying one thing, abandoning it, chasing the next trend, hoping something will finally work. We've already been through that exhausting process, so you don't have to.

Through years of hands-on work with challenging dogs (including our own), countless mentorships, and continuous education, we've built and refined a training approach that focuses on what truly creates lasting results.

Hopefully it's your first training program, but if it isn't, it's designed to be your last. Not only is the training comprehensive, but we offer a year of free follow-up support. We are only able to do that because the level of training is so high that we can confidently commit to our graduates in that way.

At first glance, the cost might feel like a stretch. But it's not just the 3-4 weeks your dog spends with us. It's everything before and everything after: phone consults, pre-training prep, every lesson after the board and train, follow-up sessions, text check-ins, and yes, middle-of-the-night phone calls when something unexpected comes up.

It's a full year of support from day one to long after your dog comes home. Most dogs we work with are around 2 years old. That means any work you put in now benefits you both for at least the next 10 years. That's less than $1 a day for coaching, training, support, peace of mind, freedom, and the relationship you've always wanted.

Many of our clients come to us after trying multiple trainers or spending money on methods that didn't stick. The Thrive Program is built on practical, real-world strategies tested with hundreds of dogs, and we stand behind it. Unlike other programs, ours are truly customized. We've even had other local training companies refer dogs to us that were outside their ability to train.

Yes. We've helped everything from determined terriers to intense working lines and strong-willed guardian breeds. The idea that certain breeds "can't be trained" simply isn't true. What matters is having the right approach for the dog in front of you. Our system works regardless of breed, age, or history.

We hear this often. In reality, most owners have tried a few standard methods, usually ones that aren't tailored to their dog's needs. The Thrive Program is different: it's built on techniques proven to create lasting change, not just short-term fixes or cookie-cutter solutions.

We've worked with dogs who were labelled "dangerous," "out of control," or "hopeless." Time and again, we've seen that it's not the dog that's the problem—it's the plan. When you change the approach, you change the outcome.

You could, but it will take a lot longer, and you'll likely waste time on trial and error. Problem behaviors often become worse over time without effective intervention. If what you've been trying hasn't worked by now, it's time for a new strategy. The Thrive Program gives you a clear, proven roadmap so you can skip the guesswork and start making real progress right away.
