BARE KNUCKLE DOG TRAINING

we are

We train for real life - for trying out that new trail, fetch at the beach on a sunny day, for coffee shop regulars, walks at the Busy park, movie nights, and brewery picnics. We can't keep our dogs forever, but we know they deserve more than a backyard while they’re here.

  • “you will NOT find a team with more integrity than Kehli and Teresa, they are who they say they are, they do the things they say they do, and they absolutely mean it when they say they will treat your dogs like one of their own...”

    Stephanie Gibson - 22 Day Board & Train

  • “Apollo completed 32 days of board and train and I cannot sing the praises of Bare Knuckles Dog Training enough. My dog gets to live the life he deserves.”

    Brandy Disley - 32 Day Board & Train Behavior Modification Focus

  • “After 1 of these sessions on a busy trail with tons of dogs, people, and squirrels - Sadie is a changed dog!!! My walk with her this morning was so enjoyable. We are so excited to continue to work with Kehli to give Sadie the best life ever. Every dog (and owner) needs a session with Kehli!!”

    Janey Biehn - 3 Private Lessons and 22 Day Board & Train
