I emailed this place and called them 3 times and left voicemails and they simply ignored everything. No response. Not professional at all if you simply cannot get ahold of them.

Much thanks to Mark, Haley, Ali, and the team for helping my sweet 1.5 year old Bentley. He was extremely fearful of anything and everything, I was barely able to take him for a walk down the street. I am sure that this was one of the more difficult dogs for them to work with. He was in the board and train program for a total of 5 weeks. Mark and his team spent a lot of time and effort with him. He is doing so much better and continues to get better every day. We look forward to attending the weekly walks to continue progressing. I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. I also appreciated the cleanliness of their facility. Overall a great experience. I wish I would have enrolled earlier.

The Advanced Canine Development team is absolutely exceptional! Not only do they focus on correcting unwanted behaviors, but they also teach owners how to confidently handle and communicate with their pets. The results speak for themselves—my German Shepherd is more confident, disciplined, and happier than ever. As for me, I am more confident, disciplined, happy and still work in progress. :) They keep you informed throughout the process with videos and pictures, so you can see your dog’s progress and feel connected every step of the way. The facility participates in weekly market walks to reinforce good behavior in real-world settings, complete with mini educational rest stops for practical tips and Q&A. They also provide boarding with reinforced training, so your dog continues learning even while you’re away. What sets them apart is their genuine care and commitment. You’re not just signing up for training—you’re joining a supportive team like family, Mark, Hayley, Ali, Emily and others, that want the best for you and your pet. Highly recommend this excellent team!

Our recently ACD-graduated, 4 month old pup, was out for her morning walk when, coming in the opposite direction was a mature Huskie who was going bananas at the sight of our approaching pup, barking, jumping, straining at his leash. As trained, our pup sat on my left side, calmly watching the Huskie go by. Not a care in the world. Thank you Mark, Ali, Emily and Hayley for your careful attention to the training of our pup, and me.
