HAPPY DOG. HAPPY LIFE.
I’ve learned that animals, like people, thrive when they’re understood, not controlled.
Bruce L. Cline, B.S., CCDT, FFCP (Trainer)
With over 20 years in the fitness and behavior fields, I’ve spent my life helping both people and animals live healthier, happier lives. My journey began in the fitness industry, where I became fascinated by what drives lasting change in people. That curiosity led me to earn a degree in Psychology from the University of North Florida, with a focus on animal behavior.
I later became a Police Officer and fulfilled my dream of becoming a K9 Handler. My partner, Kilo, a remarkable German Shepherd, was more than just a working Police K9—he was family. For over seven years, we worked side-by-side, building a bond rooted in trust, communication, and mutual respect. Losing him in 2024 to cancer was a heartbreak that changed me forever—and reaffirmed just how deep the connection between humans and dogs can be.
Soon after, fate would deliver a Dutch Shepherd to my front door—a dog who had been written off as fearful and untrainable. I quickly saw the dog for not who she was, but who she wanted to be. I was committed to helping her get there. That moment reignited my passion and pushed me to expand my current level of knowledge. I completed my mentor based certification through the CATCH Dog Trainers Academy and then next obtained my certification to become a Fear Free Certified Animal Trainer.
Through this work, I’ve learned that animals, like people, thrive when they’re understood, not controlled. My mission now is to help others build strong, compassionate relationships with their dogs—grounded in communication, cooperation, and kindness.
We need to help our dogs to live in the world that we have created.
Learning to communicate with our dogs is a RESPONSIBILITY.
Dogs have been bred by humans for purpose and function. Different breeds were selected and developed for tasks such as hunting, herding, guarding, and even companionship – they all had a specific purpose.
Today, we rarely select our dogs based on the traits and qualities they were bred to possess.. We often see frustrated owners with dogs who struggle to adapt to our modern, complex societies, shaped by technological advancements.
We work with owners to understand their dogs' communication, bridging the gap between our notions of "obedience" and "manners" while addressing their dog's mental and physical needs.
When play is purposeful and learning is fun, the bond between owner and dog becomes unbreakable, a testament to shared experiences and mutual understanding.
Happy Dog. Happy Life.
