“A calm dog isn’t born. They’re built — with patience, trust, and the right guidance.”
— Loreanne Cowan, Founder & Lead Trainer
Loreanne Sistrunk Cowan is a proud citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a lifelong animal lover, her roots run deep in Oklahoma red dirt. Born in Guymon, she grew up on a small working farm in SW Kansas — raising everything from goats and chickens to hogs and hound pups — she learned firsthand the power of trust, structure, and the unspoken bond between animals and people. In 2000 she returned to Oklahoma and has been here ever since.
Before stepping into professional dog training, Loreanne spent years as a veterinary technician and ran her own successful pet-sitting business (Loreanne’s Quality Pet Care). That mix of animal health and in-home care gave her a deep understanding of canine behavior, stress triggers, and the emotional needs of dogs — at home and out in the community.
From first call to a confident foundation — here’s exactly what to expect.
77% of children under the age of 12 are bitten by a dog that they KNOW. Let’s prevent this together
The foundation you build now shapes the dog you live with for years. Here’s why dog parents trust us to build it.
All training starts with a 2-hour in-home consultation, where the real behavior happens — then moves into the real world. You stay involved, so there’s no regression handoff.
We change the underlying behavior — reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling — and teach your dog better choices. (Basic obedience gets folded in along the way.)
Clear communication — not just cookies and “good boys,” and never harsh corrections. We teach dogs what to do and what not to do: firm, fair, and fear-free.
We coach the human, build the bond, and stay in your corner — with ongoing guidance and invite-only Ruffneck Rover pack walks so the calm holds up in the real world.
Walter is a remarkable young dog whose transformation has been nothing short of inspirational since finding his forever home.

Rosie had endured a challenging and traumatic upbringing, filled with hardships that left deep emotional scars. However, when Mom came into her life, everything changed.
With unwavering support and love, Mom helped Rosie rebuild her shattered confidence and instilled in her the strength needed to confront the world. Thanks to this newfound encouragement, Rosie began to see brighter possibilities for her future, embracing life with hope and determination.
Eddy has always brought joy and laughter to his mom’s life. However, he had a serious issue with separation anxiety, which affected their daily activities. His fear of being away from her made even simple tasks, like running errands or enjoying a date night, very difficult for her. Each time she planned to leave him, she worried because his distress could be deep and upsetting.
Knowing they needed to make a change, they both worked hard to help Eddy see his crate as a comfortable and safe space. With patience and consistency, Eddy began to connect his crate with safety and comfort, which allowed his mom to leave him for longer and longer periods with less fear. Over time, their efforts paid off, and he learned that being apart didn’t have to be so stressful.

Yes. All training starts with a 2-hour in-home consultation ($100) where we assess your dog, your goals, and your daily routine, then build a plan. Most sessions start at home and move into public spaces once the foundation is solid.
