Using a structured, relationship-based approach to create calm, confident dogs ready for a Brooklyn lifestyle.

How we do it

  • We create a close relationship with our dogs based on trust and predictability - so that when they encounter new situations, they know they can rely on us to get them through it.

  • Dogs thrive on structure - eat, rest, work, play, repeat. When dogs have a stable routine, their behavior becomes stable as well.

  • Dogs learn in two ways: rewards and pressure. By taking advantage of a balanced approach that combines both of these languages, we teach dogs both what behaviors we want and what behaviors we don’t want.

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.

Our training approach is built on balance and respect for a dog’s natural instincts. By nurturing trust, communication, and understanding, we help you unlock a life of ease, joy, and freedom with your canine companion.

Every family, every dog, and every journey is unique. That’s why we take the time to personalize our programs to meet your specific needs, ensuring practical, sustainable results. Together, we’ll create lasting changes that allow you to embrace the present and enjoy the many adventures ahead.
