FOR THE DOG IN FRONT OF YOU
More than commands. A way forward.
Whether you are building foundations, strengthening obedience, or working through behavior that makes the world feel smaller, the objective is the same: a dog who can show up with clarity and confidence.
BOARD & TRAIN PROGRAMS
Find the work
that fits.
We cap Board-and-Train intake at 2–3 dogs maximum so every dog gets elite, individualized attention. Dogs live in our house during boarding — not in a kennel like many high-volume facilities.

Grounded in the work.
Fire Haus is run by the two people training every dog that comes through the door — no hand-off to rotating staff.
FOUNDER & TRAINER
Jenna
Tihumäki
At Fire Haus, training a dog goes far beyond simple obedience or isolated skills — it's about looking at the whole dog. True success comes from filling each dog's basic needs: physically healthy, mentally fulfilled, living a balanced life.
My philosophy is rooted in the modern dog training culture of Finland, where I began my journey — high-level results without relying on tools like e-collars or prong collars. Tools can be introduced ethically here in the U.S., but my methods aren't focused on them. Instead, a balanced mix of positive reinforcement, high motivation, clear communication, and healthy boundaries builds an unbreakable bond between dog and handler.
I'm a proven IGP trainer and handler, having personally trained and trialed my own dog from zero to IGP3 — a discipline that demands perfection in tracking, obedience, and protection. That same high motivation and happy working drive shouldn't be exclusive to competition dogs: whether I'm preparing a dog for a championship or working with a family pet, my goal is an enthusiastic partner who genuinely loves working with you.
FOUNDER & TRAINERDamon
Jones
I'm a professional dog trainer and certified IGP Helper and PSA Decoy with over six years of dedicated experience in the industry. My work in competitive canine sports and protection training has taken me around the world, studying under top-tier international handlers to master the art of clear canine communication.
My true passion is bringing that elite level of clarity, drive management, and engagement back to everyday households — solid basic obedience and functional house manners, so your dog understands exactly what's expected of them in any environment. I run a boutique, limited-capacity program right from my home so I can give every dog my highly personalized, undivided attention: a rock-solid foundation, and the clear communication tools you need to take them to their next level.
