I am deeply grateful to Advanced Canine Development, LLC. Mark and his team did an extraordinary job with my dog Rocky, a rescue dog who, before training, had dragged me while chasing a rabbit, leaving me with a broken rib.
I enrolled him in the two-week intensive course, and the difference is astounding. Rocky is now a calm, obedient, and confident dog around people and other animals. He walks beside me without pulling on the leash and patiently follows every command.
Thanks to this training, I regained my confidence and was able to overcome the trauma of the accident. I wholeheartedly recommend this place; it was worth every penny.

Advanced Canine Development, LLC deserves every bit of praise. Mark and his team went above and beyond while training my mother’s rescue dog, Rocky. After a serious accident where Rocky pulled her to the ground chasing a rabbit and fractured one of her ribs, she enrolled him in the two‑week intensive program.
The transformation has been incredible. Rocky is now calm around people and other animals, follows commands reliably, and walks beside her without pulling or chasing anything. My mother has regained her confidence and overcome the trauma from the accident thanks to Rocky’s new behavior.
I truly recommend this place — worth every penny.

I can’t say enough great things about ACD. I had the most unruly Havapoo and with their help and training Mia is a completely different dog. She is now a therapy dog for elderly and is calm, obedient and follows commands without much insistence. I’m preparing my new pup to participate in ADC training as well. You will not be disappointed. This team communicates every step of the way and sends videos and pics which is very helpful for reinforcement (and also missing
Your fur baby for 2 weeks). Thank you ACD!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this training program! Daisy spent three weeks with the trainers, and the transformation has been incredible. She came home happier, more confident, and with such a strong foundation of good manners and obedience.
The trainers truly care about every dog they work with. They took the time to understand Daisy's personality and kept us informed throughout the entire process. It was clear she was loved, well cared for, and treated like family while she was there.
A special thank you goes to Daisy's primary trainers, Emily and Haley, who were absolutely amazing. Their patience, knowledge, and dedication were evident every step of the way. We also want to recognize the entire training team, because every trainer played a part in Daisy's success and treated her with kindness and care.
The biggest difference is that Daisy isn't just a "better behaved" puppy—she's a happier, more confident puppy, and we have the knowledge and tools to continue building on everything she learned. The investment was worth every penny.
If you're looking for trainers who are professional, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, we recommend this facility without hesitation. Thank you for giving us such an amazing start with our sweet Daisy. We are forever grateful.
Thank You!

Our Winnie was treated so great at ACD. The training was necessary as she was a 8 month old puppy with barking and listening issues. She now can walk on a leash and takes commands flawlessly. Thank you to the amazing staff! Mark your team is top notch.
