Every Day Canine, LLC is a dog training and grooming business located in Rutland, VT, founded by Nate Harvey, a Master Trainer certified through the Highland Canine Master Trainer Program. They specialize in individualized training for family dogs, working K9s, performance, and sport dogs, with a focus on behavior modification for issues like reactivity, aggression, anxiety, leash pulling, poor recall, and jumping. They also work with puppies and well-behaved dogs to build focus, confidence, and off-leash reliability. Their team includes Mary Bovaconti, an AKC obedience and rally competitor, and Sarah Westpahl, a head groomer with over 22 years of experience. They offer private lessons at their training center or in-home, day school programs, group classes, adventure dog outings, and professional grooming services.
