BRIAN KERCHNER

Brian's ability to 'read' dogs (and people) allows him to quickly get to the root cause of a dog's behavior problems and immediately begin resolving the issue. Brian practices what he preaches with his own pack: Leadership & Exercise (3+ miles) every day. His dogs are always with him to help him demonstrate the ideal Leader-Follower relationship between human and dog.

A former Marine, Josh's natural confidence and self-discipline help dog owners see the importance of Leadership and consistency in training their own dogs. Josh's experience, insight and good nature make him an outstanding teacher for all things dog related. His "chocolador" TANK is the epitome of Labs: easy-going and friendly with everyone.

Marina’s background is in rehabilitating rescue dogs and socializing dogs in large play groups. With her keen intuition, Marina assesses owner-dog relationships in order to help you create the most fulfilling companionship with your dog. Marina’s Chesapeake Bay Retriever SAILOR is never far from her.

A typical chocolate Lab, Aerial is friendly, active and playful. Respectful and calm with new dogs, Aerial is an outstanding teacher for recall, walking calmly on-leash and learning to play fetch.

PEPPER

This Australian Cattle Dog is the complete package: athletic, smart, great with dogs, great with people of all ages and sizes, and completely devoted to Josh. Pepper is the perfect assistant to help anxious and insecure dogs learn to have fun and enjoy life.

Marina’s Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the cool kid from school: he doesn’t need more friends, but all the other dogs want to follow him around. He might play with them IF he isn’t too busy swimming or playing fetch.

CALLIE

So far, Callie is sweet, quiet, and low-key. She was rescued from a bad situation and brought into the GDW pack in April 2022, so there's more to uncover about this girl as she learns to trust again. Stay tuned for updates on Callie's abilities and her role in our pack!

Aerial's twin brother, Tank is very outgoing and gregarious, and helps teach anxious, nervous and fearful dogs that life is fun and people can be trusted.
