Hi, I’m Jordan Phelps.

Growing up, my family always emphasized following your internal compass—your true north. That philosophy shaped not just my life but also the mission of True North Canine.

What started as a simple love for dogs has grown into a passion for creating meaningful connections between dogs and their families.

Happy Clients

  • "Since working with true north and jordan, our lovely Vizsla Daphne gets more obedient and smart by the day. She comes home after a full day of training and socialization happy, tired!, and eager to train more. She listens better, knows boundaries, and is better with other dogs. "

  • “Jordan puts the dogs first. Has strong principles, balanced training, flexible schedules, and is obsessed with being a better trainer. We feel like family, not just clients. "

  • “We love being able to ask Jordan and True north for advice and strategy for our long term goals. We’re an active family who takes our puppy everywhere, and Jordan has been working together with us to make sure we get to our training and obedience goals as a team. "

  • "with True north you get training and services from someone who has dedicated their life to this craft. The dogs come first and Jordan is organized, balanced, and makes us feel so comfortable leaving our little girl with her any time. "

  • "after just a few months we have consistent loose leash walking, healthy socialization skills with other dogs, a puppy who knows plenty of obedience commands, can spend time in any store, coffee shop or restaurant, and knows how to settle down when we tell her to!"
