At A Better Pet, LLC, we offer training and products which enhance the human-animal bond.
- We provide training for people and their pet or working dogs, individually and in groups.
- All services begin with the introduction of The Six Pillars of Dog Training Wisdom which helps owners develop a better relationship with their dog using positive, non-force-based methods.
- Our mission is to teach you how to become the Benevolent Leader who can teach your dog what to do, in a way that makes the dog want to do it.
- Our other services include service dog training, board & train (including puppy raising), temperament testing, rescue/rehoming services and even cat training.
- We also make and sell the patented Har-Vest®, a 3-in-1 backpack for dogs.
- In A Better Pet’s store, we sell only things we use ourselves: Har-Vest®, Euroleashes, Martingale collars and Life’s Abundance pet food.

The weather was perfect, the guests a delight, the celebrants in fine fettle. Today’s DIPs was so busy with active, enthusiastic dogs celebrating a happy event in incredible weather. Energy overall was more tsunami style than lazy day by a lake. Practicing manners is a big feature of DIPs, never more so than when it’s filled with over a dozen people and a dozen dogs! Despite the chaos because of the training provided here at A Better Pet, we were able to manage and enjoy the sunshine, fire pit 
and the company of fellow dog lovers and of course, the dogs. Many of those present are experienced enough to know that raising well mannered, happy and balanced dogs, many of whom are service dogs for individuals with a variety of disabilities, requires a commitment, effort, support and learning how to develop confidence in being firm and fair but positive and proactive. Those newer to the program are able to get support and advice from those that came before them, and subsequently, as they continue to take advantage of the Drop in Play Program, they too will learn how to increase confidence in giving their dogs earned freedom to have fun and be dogs living in the moment. Below a quick clip, in slo mo, showing some of the athleticism and simple joy of living expressed by these amazing dogs.
Happy birthday, my dear pups, may year 2 be filled with as much adventure, affection, love, challenge, and continued learning and growing.
