About
It all started when…
Originally from the Midwest I have been in Utah almost 20 years. Little did I know that a degree from Southeast Missouri State University in Horticulture and Agronomy would be what helped me find my passion for animals and the outdoors. I couldn't find a better way to mix the two! Now I spend my days out on the trail with the dogs, or at home with my beautiful wife and two kids.
I started handling dogs over 15 years ago. Over that time, I’ve become an expert at it and have countless hours handling large groups of off-leash dogs. I provide strong, positive reinforced leadership that every dog responds to. If I have a dog that will not respond to my commands they adventure on leash until they do. I love dogs and I have an excellent understanding of K9 behavior. It is my mission to provide your K9 friend a worry free adventure no matter the size of the group. Everyone has a blast and returns to you tired... guaranteed!
I place great value on the mental, physical and emotional benefits of owning a dog. Dogs are wired to follow our lead when we provide clear, positive leadership. Establishing this proper relationship with our dogs, we are able to fully enjoy one of the most rewarding relationships we will have in our lives.

“I recently moved to Salt Lake from a small ski town where my dog enjoyed multiple off leash hikes or skate skis daily. My work schedule no longer allows it so it was an amazing relief to find Auggie’s Doggie Adventures. Brown Dog now gets to enjoy a wonderful run with other dogs while I am in the office and unable to do so. I completely trust August with my best friend and it’s so nice to come home to a happy and exercised dog. I also love receiving pictures of my dog having a blast while I am at work. I highly recommend August and his services.”
