Truffle Dog Company was founded in 2013 to do something that barely existed in North America at the time: train dogs and their people to find truffles — and build the infrastructure for a serious truffle industry in the Pacific Northwest.

More than a decade later, TDC is the leading source for truffle dog education in North America. We offer online truffle dog training courses, in-person classes and field experiences, truffière consulting and harvesting services, wild truffle hunting adventures, and international expeditions for those ready to go deep.

Our work spans the full ecosystem: from first-time handlers training their dogs at home, to commercial growers managing established truffières, to chefs and buyers sourcing Pacific Northwest truffles. We operate internationally — and we bring the same standard of expertise to every level.

TDC is led by Alana McGee, CPDT-KA, one of the most recognized truffle dog specialists in the world. Alana presents scientific research and collaborates with leading mycologists. She continues to shape the science, the practice, and the culinary culture around North American truffles.
