With little experience in dog training (training my German Shepherd and a rescue dog with obedience), Jason and Erin taught me and continues to teach me the ins and outs of dog training. Every day I learn something new whether it’s a different way to train dogs; a tract of a specific dog breed; understanding dog behavior; running a business; customer service; puppy development; sheering sheep (Yes, that’s right – sheering sheep), and the list goes on. It has been a great place to learn about something I love and then putting it to practice.

Highland Canine Training, LLC is also a great place for people who want a career in dog training or just want to learn more. The Dog Trainer School offers courses in Obedience and Behavior Modification, and Working Dog Programs. This is the place to get a lot of hands on experience. There is classroom lectures and instruction but the majority of the time you are handling dogs. Our Training Director, Jason Purgason, is a very good teacher and instructor. His lectures are detailed, clear and practical. Also he enjoys teaching and engaging with students. One of the philosophies of the school “is the more dogs you put your hands on the better dog trainer you will become”. Students get that opportunity here to handle all kinds of dogs and the more successful students are the students that are motivated to do just that.
