Mindset over obedience

Dog training is so much more than sit + down!

Let

guess…

  • You’re anxious to invite friends over to your house because of your dog’s behavior

  • You want to take your dog out in public but worry about what others will think if your dog misbehaves

  • You avoid walks during busy times because your dog pulls, barks, or blows up at the end of the leash

  • You want to take your dog on off leash adventures but they don’t have a solid recall

  • You feel frustrated with the training methods you’ve already tried and don’t know what to do next

Now imagine how it would feel to…

  • Bring your dog out in public without worrying how they’ll behave

  • Trust your dog to make good decisions on their walk

  • Have your dog listen to your recall the first time

  • Be empowered to bring your dog to a pet friendly coffee shop, winery or camping trip

  • Take your dog along for your daily adventures

Our programs

Designed for real-life, each program is catered to fit your lifestyle and routine

Training = Freedom for you and your dog

Training takes effort, but man is it worth it! Taking the time to train your dog gives you the freedom & confidence to take your dog on adventures without stressing about how they’ll behave, if they’ll pull on the leash, or if there are other dogs around.

Howdy!

I’m Cheyenne! The owner and trainer of High Peaks Canine!

I currently live in Ithaca, NY and love hiking in the Adirondacks with my 3 hooligans, reading books, and drinking coffee.

I’ve been training pet + service dogs for 4 years now, and if I’ve learned anything it’s that a dog’s state of mind greatly impacts their behavior.

How it works

  •  Schedule a call with us— we’ll chat about your dog, your lifestyle, and the goals/problem behaviors you’d like help working through.

  • We’ll come up with a game plan— we’ll share which program is best for you & your dog.

  • We train!

  • "Cheyenne has been a huge help with our field-bred Irish Setter who is notoriously independent. I can't recommend her enough!"

    — Abigail C.

  • "If you are looking for a flexible, experienced, professional dog trainer to meet you exactly where you are and help train your dog (AND YOU!) - take the plunge with High Peaks Canine!"

    —Niki M.

  • “Cheyenne did an amazing job with our dog Lucy. We sent her for a board and train and she came back calm, collected, and happy."

    — Alyssa W

  • "Misha was very anxious and reactive but with Cheyenne's guidance she has become much more confident and is even enjoying the pack walks!"

    — Audrey
