A promise, from our family to yours!
We improve the quality of life and well-being of canine lives in our community through positive training, safe and clean boarding facilities, canine enrichment practices, community education, and local canine partnerships.
Wright Way began with a leap of faith—and a whole lot of heart.
In May of 2017, as a mother and son team, Trish and Carson Wright left behind the comfort of steady jobs to build something they believed was missing in the world of pet care: a place where every dog regardless of medical needs or behavior challenges, has a chance at being understood and living a happy life.
Trish brings with her nearly 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine. Her career spanned private practice, rescue work, shelter medicine, and even time working with military working dogs on Tinker Air Force Base. She also spent years in academia, training the next generation of Registered Veterinary Technicians. Her deep medical knowledge, willingness to do the challenging work, and passion for animal welfare became the foundation of Wright Way Canine.
What started as a small, family-run effort has grown into Oklahoma’s only advanced-handling canine center having served nearly 4,000 animals since we began. At its core, Wright Way Canine remains rooted in the same values we started with: a passion to save lives, an expectation of excellence in our facility, and a belief that every dog deserves a chance at a better life.
Not all founders walk on two legs!
Sister was Trish’s first training partner and the dog who would quietly shape everything Wright Way stands for. They met while working at the Oklahoma Humane Society, where Sister was on the edge of complete fear-induced shutdown. Most had written her off. Trish saw something different—a spark worth fighting for.
Through time, patience, and determination, Trish helped Sister come back to life. What emerged was a dog with an extraordinary gift. Sister didn’t just heal—she became a healer. With uncanny intuition, she bridged dogs carrying fear, aggression, and trauma to a place of trust. She offered what humans couldn’t: calm companionship, nonverbal assurance, and the kind of leadership only another dog can provide.
Sister worked beside Trish, gently guiding one dog at a time toward confidence in a new life. She became a mirror, a model, and a miracle worker. Her impact was so profound that she was one of the reasons Wright Way Canine was born—to carry forward the kind of care and transformation she made possible.
Sister passed in April 2024 having saved thousands of canine lives from euthanasia. She was the love of Trish’s life, the soul of our work, and the heartbeat that still echoes through every breakthrough we witness.
