OUR STORY

More about teddy

After perfect pairing of his health tested and titled parents, Teddy was chosen and thoroughly evaluated prior to being donated to his veteran handler (shown above) as part of our Giving Back to Veterans Program.

Teddy traveled to Germany and participated in the Invictus Games with his handler in 2023!

Rampant Canine was originally established in Kittery, Maine in 2008. Since its inception, this female owned business has won numerous titles in both sport and obedience. Various dogs have been trained under its umbrella including 'Teddy Bear' who participated in the Invictus Games along side his veteran handler (shown here).

We pride ourselves on making our both our clients and dogs feel like family. Our emblem is a nod to both our Irish heritage and family crest.

Trainer/Founder

Hayley smith

Originally from Maine, I grew up with horses and started riding when I was 2 years old. Through the equine world, I developed a true love for all animals and started assisting our family veterinarian at his mixed animal practice when I was 6 years old.

At 13, I started working as a kennel tech at our local vet then later started with rehabilitation and training of shelter dogs and American Pitbull Terriers. Through rehabilitation, I fell in love with Pitbulls and will always have a soft spot for them.

After working for years for various trainers, I decided to go out on my own in hopes of making a true difference in the dog training world.

I started Rampant Canine with the primary goal of making the experience a great one for both dogs and clients through private classes, board and trains, and rehabilitation.
