The People Behind the Paws.

Every certified dog on this site was trained and handled by the same two people. This is them.

Alex Warren

Owner · President · Trainer

My purpose is to train exceptional Therapy Dogs that can work confidently and independently of me while consistently performing the skills they have been taught. Developing a dependable therapy dog requires specialized training, patience, dedication, and a deep commitment to each animal’s well-being. For more than 20 years, I have devoted myself to this meaningful work because I truly love what I do, I deeply love my Goldens, and I believe in the comfort, healing, and hope they bring to people in need. I have trained dogs for over 20 years, specializing in Therapy Dogs. I have been recognized for my training program through the AKC as one of Nick’s Heroes on Channel 15 News, featured in donor newsletters and news articles, and I have given educational talks on the benefits of Therapy Dogs.
