R Team Canine Coaching is a dog training business founded by Reesa Hauge in 2016 and expanded in 2018 with trainer James Robers. They offer group classes, private lessons, day training, board and train programs, and dog boarding services.

Their training style combines positive reinforcement with balanced methods, emphasizing clear communication, structure, and boundaries. They specialize in behavior modification, recall training, and off-leash reliability using e-collars, particularly suited for Alaska’s outdoor lifestyle.

They provide customized programs for puppies, reactive dogs, fearful dogs, and those seeking competition-level obedience. Clients receive weekly video progress reports, lifetime support, and follow-up lessons to ensure long-term success.

They also offer enhanced boarding and dog sports training including agility and dock diving.

They use marker words like “yes,” “good,” and “ah ah” for communication and tailor training tools to each dog’s learning style. Their board and train programs include indoor temperature-controlled kennels, daily structured sessions, leashed walks, playtime, and integration into their household when appropriate. They require all dogs to be crate-trained and do not accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety or kennel-breaking behavior.

Accomplishments

Reesa Hauge has been involved with dogs for over 10 years and is passionate about dog sports and learning theory. James Robers began as a student and developed expertise in e-collar conditioning. Both trainers focus on practical, real-world results for Alaska’s outdoor lifestyle.
