Our founder Hardy Ernsting has been involved with dogs for over 4 decades.

​

Hardy had the privilege and honor to be on 7 working dog World Championships teams. He traveled with his dogs all over the world to compete in these privileged competitions. Beforehand, our team, traveled all over the United States to go to present the dogs at National Championships, so that they could qualify to be part of the World Championship Team.

 

Time, training, money, and knowledge went into the journey of training the dogs. Talking to hundreds of people on this journey. Meeting up with the best of the best trainers for training. Speaking to breeders with experience and knowledge of all kinds of different training styles and philosophies. This journey taught us how to understand any kind of dog correctly and take them to the top of their field.

Every dog is different, every dog has his own personality, learns differently, and acts differently.

 

We attended top-notch seminars with the most knowledgeable trainers in our field and we hosted many workshops and seminars here at the facility with some of the best trainers from the US and Europe.

 

Watching hundreds of dogs of different breeds compete gave us an insight into the different drives and working qualities of dogs. Seeing the different temperaments of these dogs, and the different lines of pure breeds competing gave us an edge of how to choose the best of the best working dogs, or breeding dogs.

​

Years of studying training techniques and bloodlines of dogs, have led us to an understanding of how to breed the best dog for the sport, police work, security work, service dogs, search and rescue, PSA, agility, conformation, and companionship. ​

​

Our experience training dogs is superior. Through the years our founder Hardy Ernsting trained many people to become dog trainers.

We provided tracking, obedience, protection training, detection work and police K-9 training, as well as personal pet training for many dogs. Our journey allowed us to work with dogs of all kinds of different temperaments, different problems, all sizes, ages, and any breeds or non-purebred dogs. We helped hundreds of dog teams (handler/dog) receive a working dog title, worked with K9 dogs, K9 security service, trained therapy dogs, and worked with search and rescue dogs. 

From house calls to in-home training, board and train to meet and greet in town, we did it all.

 

It is now time to extend that knowledge to a field that is in need of qualified trainers and in need of excellent working service dogs! 

We want to dedicate our knowledge to training Service Dogs.
