About Farm Dog Oklahoma
Farm Dog Oklahoma was born from a shared passion for training and a desire to help dogs thrive in rural environments. It all started when Micah, a dedicated dog trainer from Tulsa, began taking riding lessons with Holly, a skilled horse trainer in Mounds, Oklahoma. As they exchanged ideas about their industries, they recognized a growing need — many dogs that accompany their owners to farms, ranches, and barns lacked the proper training to excel in those settings.
​
To bridge this gap, Farm Dog Oklahoma was created. Our mission is to provide tailored training programs designed specifically for dogs living and working in agricultural environments.
​
We combine board-and-train programs with weekly owner lessons to ensure both dogs and their handlers are equipped for success. Dogs stay in Micah's home, where they learn house manners and social skills in a family setting. During the week, they also visit All Round Equine, where they gain valuable experience around horses, livestock, and the busy dynamics of rural life.
​
Our unique approach allows dogs to go home on weekends, giving owners the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned while still benefiting from one-on-one guidance throughout the program.
​
At Farm Dog Oklahoma, we’re committed to helping dogs reach their full potential — whether they’re working dogs, loyal companions, or both. We'd love to chat and find the best solution for your pup!
