How the Co-op Came To Be

The Canine Cooperative was brought to life in 2022, but the story doesn’t start there. Founders Jaimee Wenzel and Sabrina Joens are both long time dog trainers and behavior consultants (close to 30 years experience between them).

Both of their businesses happened to be in the same town, and they eventually stumbled across one another. What might spark competition with some, developed into an amazing friendship between the two. Their work discipline paralleled succinctly and cultivated a unique opportunity.

After meeting and building the relationship, they began working together while still owning their separate businesses (then Applaws Dog Training and Good Dogma), soon realizing they had actually created a cooperative–which shares a love for creating better communication and relationships with dogs and their owners.
