Small Steps. Strong Bonds. Lifelong Success!

At Calliope’s Crew, we believe training is a team effort built on connection, confidence, and in our case, a little bit of hairless flair. Inspired by our smooth and spirited mascot, we focus on celebrating small wins and helping dogs and their humans better understand each other. Around here, we believe that dog training should be fun, supportive and full of “we did it!” moments. Beyond training, Calliope’s Crew is a community that brings dog lovers together to learn, grow and cheer each other on. Some times dog ownership and dog training gets tough, so we believe it’s best to do it as a crew.

Meet the Crew: Stories from the Dogs that Inspire us

  • "Hi I'm Trixie and training felt like playtime!"

    I got soooo many treats, learned how to walk without pulling, and jumped on cool things for photos! Every session made me feel smart, brave, and full of wiggles.

  • "I'm Xena... and I wasn't sure about people at first."

    Things were scary when I arrived at the animal shelter and I didn’t know who I could trust. Slow steps and gentle training helped me trust again. I wasn’t rushed. I was given time to learn that I’m safe. Now I wag more than I worry.

  • "Hey I'm Dipper! I used to cower and hide from people..."

    But with patience (and Calliope’s example) I started to believe I really could be a confident dog. Now I greet friends with zoomies instead of hiding. Training made my world bigger.
