Who we are

My name is Tricia Nelsen and I’d love to help you strengthen your relationship with your dog! A few years ago I was exasperated with one of my dogs behaviors, and struggled to find any individualized training options in Fairbanks that worked for me. Instead I spent countless hours learning to train her myself and became obsessed with the relationship we built through the process. There is something incredibly special about the love we receive from animals, my childhood dog Tipsy taught me that first. I have found relationship-based balanced dog training and structure to be the key to creating the best connection with a dog.

I will work with you to create a plan that you feel comfortable with. Whether you need a safe place for your dog to stay while you are away, have problem behaviors you want to work through, or just want to build some skills - my philosophy is individualized to accomplish whatever goals you may have….change this

I found my passion in dog training, and I’d love to work with you and your dog to build a strong relationship and polite behaviors!
