Our Mission
Our mission is to lead by example in advocating for canine well-being through positive, force-free, and fear-free training. We are dedicated to creating a world where every dog is trained with compassion, respect, and understanding.
Our goal is not only to train dogs effectively but also to empower guardians with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to build thriving, lifelong relationships with their dogs.
We believe that every dog deserves an environment free from fear and force, where trust and mutual respect form the foundation of the human-canine bond. Through humane training techniques, education, and community engagement, we strive to ensure that every dog has the opportunity to live a joyful, fulfilling life alongside a confident and informed guardian.

The Canine Kindness Project.
The Canine Kindness Project is an initiative by Canine Kindness Co. designed to promote compassionate, force-free training methods and educate dog guardians on the principles of empathy, mindfulness, and loving-kindness. Through this project, we provide opportunities to replace aversive tools like prong collars by participating in Project tRade, a trade-in program for discounts on training services, encouraging a shift toward positive reinforcement.
The Canine Kindness Project also offers educational resources that align with our philosophy, empowering guardians to understand their dogs' behavior and emotional needs, and apply ethical, science-based methods in their everyday interactions. Our mission is to reduce the reliance on fear-based techniques.
