Specialties
At Blue Mountain Canine, we go beyond obedience. Our strong suit is turning everyday moments into meaningful teaching opportunities grounded in empathy and ethics. We specialize in canine well-being coaching for families who want to understand their dogs, not just manage them. Using a holistic, science-based lens (LEGS: Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self), we help guardians support their dog’s emotional health and teach practical life skills for navigating the modern human world. Our clients are thoughtful, busy families who want compassionate, customized training focused on resilience, emotional balance, and sustainable behavior. We meet you where you are, support both ends of the leash, and aim for thriving relationships—not just social media ready tricks. We offer private training, LEGS-based behavior consulting, family-centered puppy development, real-life walking skills, consent-based care, and support for reactivity, resilience, and social success. We don’t just train dogs—we walk alongside humans and dogs through the learning process with warmth, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Credentials include: IAABC Accredited Dog Trainer, Certified Family Dog Mediator, Certified Dog Bite Prevention Educator, Licensed Pet Partners Therapy Teams Evaluator, and Certified Drink With Your Dog Instructor®.
History
Established in 2021.
We started working with dogs and families in 2013 providing high quality, concierge style dog care and behavior reinforcement. During the pandemic, after seeing how many families were struggling with COVID puppies, we decided to change our focus to dog training with a collaboration & holistic focus.
Meet the Business Owner: Frances Q.
Since childhood I've had a special bond with animals from dogs to cats to goats and guinea pigs. It wasn't until I met a couple terriers back in the 90's that I realized my bond might also be a gift and that through understanding animal body language, I could help people understand and collaborate with their animals too. Dog training is more than a passion. It's an art, a craft, and always an adventure. Working with dogs and families not just what we do, it is who we are!
