Real Stories, Real Results

Hear from others who have transformed their farms, and raised calm, confident livestock guardian dogs with our proven methods.

Sara, Alberta

Before bringing home a maremma pup, we were constantly on edge, coyotes every night. Tracey helped us choose the right pup and guided us through every step of working with our pup. Our dog Willow, is now a calm, steady guardian who patrols our farm yard and keeps all of our animals safe. The transformation on our farm has been incredible. We finally sleep better at night knowing our animals are protected.

Mark & Jenna, Saskatchewan

THE BEST INVESTMENT WE'VE EVER MADE FOR OUR FARM!! I can't say enough good things about the pups and mentorship we received. Our Maremma, Finn, was raised around poultry, waterfowl, and pigs from the start, and that early exposure made all the difference. With Tracey's natural, step-by-step training methods, he matured into such a confident, trustworthy dog. If you're on the fence, don't wait--it's worth every penny and definately prevents us from losing poultry and livestock!

Emily & Jason, Ontario

Even as first-time farmers, we did it--and it's been an amazing journey!

We only have a few acres and a small flock of chickens and ducks, so we weren't sure if a livestock guardian dog would really fit into our setup. Tracey was so patient and helpful--she walked us through how to introduce our pup to the birds ad set things up properly. Our Maremma, Luna, has grown into the calmest, most dependable guardian we could've asked for. She watches over everything and even breaks up little squabbles between the geese! I never imagined it could go this smoothly after hearing so many horror stories of LGDs not staying on the property or killing birds. Having Tracey's guidance made all the difference.
