​In-Home Manners & Obedience: Practical skills (leash walking, door manners, recall, and impulse control) taught directly in your home and neighborhood.

​Behavior Modification & Reactivity: Compassionate, science-based protocols for dogs struggling with big feelings, fear, or frustration on leash.

A quick reminder to our Central Nebraska pack: We haven't forgotten about the Kearney Dog Bar—not even for a second! 🐕🍻

​Creating Kearney’s first indoor/outdoor off-leash dog park and social taphouse requires the right physical footprint. From secure zoning and municipal layout requirements to indoor square footage, climate control, and safe outdoor turf zones, we refuse to cut corners on the safety, health, and comfort of your dogs.

​We are actively vetting commercial properties in Kearney, NE to find the exact building that checks every box. The moment the lease or purchase ink is dry on the right location, site buildout begins immediately.
​In the meantime, our training programs and pack activities are moving full speed ahead.

Thank you for your continued patience, support, and messages—we cannot wait to raise a glass with you and let our dogs run together soon.

🐕Level up your dog's routine while you're away! 🐾
​We are so excited to officially launch our brand-new In-Home Care Services—featuring walking, drop-ins, and overnight sitting that actually doubles as professional training! 🐕‍🦺

​Our New Options Include:

🟦​Behavioral Walk & Train: Focuses on loose-leash work, reactivity trigger management, and mental engagement.

🟪​Drop-In Visit: Reinforces structure (place, stay, polite door manners) alongside feeding and potty breaks.

🟧​Overnight House Sitting: Board-and-train style consistency right in your home, keeping your training protocols completely uninterrupted.

🔺️​Weekly Refresh Pass & Vacation Packages also available!🔺️

​📍 Currently serving Central Kearney, UNK campus area, North Kearney, and South/East Kearney (with case-by-case options for surrounding areas like Gibbon, Elm Creek, Pleasanton, and Amherst).

​⚠️ Limited Availability: To ensure every dog gets real, focused attention, we cap our slots weekly. Once they fill up, requests move to our waitlist!
