"Force free. Fear free. No exceptions."
Welcome to
The Cooperative Canine
At The Cooperative Canine, we believe in full transparency when it comes to our qualifications, education, and approach to dog training. We know that not every dog trainer is going to be the right fit for you and your needs, and we want to be upfront about how we will work with you and your dog. We strongly encourage you to take a moment to read our FAQ and blog posts to inform yourself about us. We are eager to answer any further questions you may have.
Our vision at The Cooperative Canine is to revolutionize the way people and their dogs connect, communicate, and coexist. We envision a world where every dog guardian has the knowledge and tools to build a strong bond with their canine companion. Our approach to training focuses on compassion, education, and collaboration. We strive to inspire everyone who touches the life of a dog to prioritize their well-being and happiness.
Our mission is to foster a harmonious relationship between people and their canine partners. We strive to provide a comprehensive approach that combines an understanding of applied animal behavior, genetics, the dog's history, the impact of health and nutrition, and the dog's needs to provide realistic solutions to behavior problems. We aim to empower individuals to understand, train, and care for their dogs in a compassionate and cooperative manner. We believe that educating our clients is as much a part of training as working with their dogs.

be fiercely force free
Trainers around the world use force-free techniques to get exotic animals to cooperate in their own medical care, including restraint-free shots, imaging, and wound care. If you can train a tiger, a dolphin, a parrot, a giraffe, and a flock of butterflies* without a shock collar, you can and should train a dog without one.
