The Reasons Why We Are Tri Canine Campus

There are a few reasons we went with the name Tri Canine Campus. 

The word "tri" comes from the idea that we wanted our company to represent the 3 D's of dog training: distance, duration, and distraction. Distance refers to the space between you and your dog when practicing a command. Duration is the amount of time a command is performed. Distraction is anything that makes your dog lose focus. You'll notice in our logo that we had a little fun with the 3 D's: Delivering Delightful Doggies. That's because the 3 D's are really what you make them, just like dog training. Have fun with it!

The Triangle Meanings

  • Firstly, the triangle is the most muscular shape, distributing force equally among all three sides. You, your dog, and your trainer are three sides of a triangle. Any pressure put on one side of the training triangle can be evenly distributed to all sides through communication, instruction, and practice. 
  • Secondly, the image of a triangle can be seen as a mountain. When you're training your pup, it can feel like an uphill battle. But once you reach that summit — where you truly learn to communicate with your dog — everything is downhill. 
  • Finally, the Greek letter delta is a triangle. In math, the delta symbol represents change. We're striving to transform your relationship with your pup into one that you can enjoy and sustain for years to come.

And finally, we wanted our company to feel like a campus: a place of learning.
