It is with immense sadness that I am sharing the news of Frank's passing on December 25th, 2024 

We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to have worked with each and every one of you and your dogs! There is not nearly enough room on this page to even begin to express our thanks and appreciation to everyone who has helped to make this very difficult time easier to bear; from food donations (human and dog!) medical supplies to help care for Frank,  monetary donations to help with adoptable and sanctuary dogs, and for the upkeep of the buildings. Thank you for the numerous phone calls, emails, and text messages with words of encouragement and support! The overwhelming kindness and generosity have been over the moon! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are grateful to have such loyal customers and friends. Thank you to those who visited Frank during the last 2 months of his illness; you brought smiles to his face, and joy to his heart, and helped to ease his pain.

For the past 20 years in WI, Frank has transformed both canine (and human) lives for the better! He was a man of many words and not afraid to speak them or his beliefs. A bit rough around the edges, but his heart was pure gold and as big as the universe itself!  He has saved thousands of dogs that never had a chance anywhere else but who just needed time, patience, and understanding!  The dog world has lost a tragic asset. His knowledge and ability to effortlessly work with dogs, especially the aggressive ones that no one else would touch, was unsurpassed. His loss has created a huge hole in the training world and a need for helping aggressive misunderstood dogs all over the world .  Frank was a force to be reckoned with! He was a legend and he has left a legacy in the training world for the ages! He is dearly missed but will live in our hearts forever!
