The Hard Knocks Mission:With our individualized, respect-based training and decompression program, we will ensure more dogs find and keep loving homes. We will assist local shelters and rescues in rehabilitating abused and neglected dogs who are considered “unadoptable” due to anxiety triggered behavioral issues.

In doing so, we will help reduce the number of dogs euthanized due to fear-based reactivity.
