My daughter had a very anxious Australian Shepherd puppy that we were really struggling with. He was terrified of everything outside our home and refused to go on walks out of fear. Inside, he was a handful, barking nonstop, creating chaos, and constantly trying to assert control over his “mom.”
After spending just three weeks at Advanced Canine Development, we are amazed by his transformation. Hayley, Mark, and the entire team worked tirelessly with Hayes to build his confidence and give him the structure we couldn’t establish at home.
He now walks beautifully on a leash, handles the outside world with so much more confidence, and life has become so much easier for our daughter as a pet owner. They’re such a confident team now, and we’re excited to see how much further he’ll go as we continue training at home.
It’s also such a relief knowing we can reach out to the trainers anytime for guidance, encouragement, and extra support. We truly can’t recommend Advanced Canine Development enough!

Ali and Hailey were absolutely amazing with our pup, Mack! We had been looking for a training facility experienced with German Shepherds, and Advanced Canine Development was exactly what we were hoping to find. From day one, their patience, knowledge, and care were evident. They helped us understand the “why” behind the training, not just the “how,” which made a big difference. Macky came home more confident, well-behaved, and still his happy self. Both trainers were professional, communicative, and truly invested in his progress. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Advanced Canine Development to anyone looking for dedicated, skilled trainers who love what they do! 🐾

I loved the way they explain everything and how they adapt the classes to the needs of the dog and the family. It's clear they really know what they're doing and love their work.
I would definitely choose them again and recommend them 100%. Thank you for helping me have a happy and well-behaved dog! 🐶💖

I am truly satisfied with the training my dog received. The team at Advanced Canine Development demonstrates great patience, knowledge, and love for animals. From day one, the difference in my pet's behavior was noticeable: he is now more obedient, calmer, and responds much better to commands.
Furthermore, the service was always friendly, professional, and personalized, tailored to my dog's needs. It's clear they enjoy what they do and care about the well-being and progress of each animal.
I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who wants to see real and lasting results in their dog's training! 🐾💛
