What they publish

Four routes are published. Board and Train comes in three programs with a deposit required to book. One-to-one training comes in three packages with stated lengths: ON LEASH obedience over 4 weeks, ON & OFF LEASH BASIC obedience over 6 weeks, and an AGGRESSIVE & REACTIVE program over 6 weeks. A remote training program brings the trainer to you for two full days and nights. Private lessons are also offered, and a pricing page is published on the site.

How the training runs

They describe themselves as "a family owned and operated company" and set out two things they say separate them: that the work is not primarily commercial for them, and that "we will actually work with aggressive and reactive dogs and deliver real results". Their stated approach is balanced and individual – "every dog has their own personality, so we offer balanced training solutions for each dog". On private lessons they are blunt about what determines the outcome: "this entire process is all about us transferring knowledge directly to the owners", and long-term success "solely depends on the owners willingness to learn, apply, and stay consistent".

Who it suits

Owners of aggressive or reactive dogs are the group the site most directly addresses, alongside anyone wanting staged on-leash to off-leash obedience. Cocke and Sevier County owners are the stated catchment.
