Arie Ebaugh is a professional dog trainer and small business owner. Arie is an advocate for animals rights & rescue. She is also an advocate for human rights, with one of her many passions is acceptance and representation of Autistic people in the training world. Arie herself is Autistic and thrives on helping others connect with animals in the way she always has.
As a former biology teacher, Arie takes an evidence-based approach to training. She holds degrees in neuroscience, biology education, and a Master of Science degree in biology.

The appropriate question is: "What can I teach the dog to DO instead?"

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development.
David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners.
Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures.
