Our Story

Animals have always been part of our family, and I have always had an affinity for working with them. With a strong sense of empathy, I have worked towards integrating our animals into our family. Through the years, I have found that training our animals has ended up teaching me a lot about myself, and those lessons have often affected me in a profound way. It is with this realization that I have created The Profound Hound. We believe that training should strengthen the family dynamic, and give our animals the opportunity to practice skills that enable them to excel in situations that arise in day-to-day life.

Balanced Dog Training

At the Profound Hound, we truly love the animals that we serve. We proudly believe in and apply balanced dog training to improve results and provide structure and enforce rules for your pet. Balanced Dog Training uses positive reinforcement to solidify positive behaviors, and firm, fair and gentle correction to modify instinct. In no circumstance do we condone physical punishment, abuse or fear as a method of control or instruction.

Approach to Training

All dogs are different, and require specialized strategies to help them reach their full potential. After our client goal discussion and initial assessment, we discuss with our clients our go-forward plan to maximize your dog's potential in the most efficient manner possible. Consistency is the most important consideration, and we will work with you and your family to understand the how's and why's so that we can work together as a team to provide that consistency and stability.
