I met Mark on day 1 and he was very informative. Emily is a sweet miracle worker and took excellent care of my pup. I received daily videos and photos for the 2 weeks my pup was there to ease my separation anxiety. Emily took time to thoroughly and patiently explain helpful tactics to reinforce my pup's learned behavior. They fixed my biggest concern which was leash pulling and demand barking in public. Now she's able to enjoy her walks and live a better quality life.

Emily did such an amazing job with my dog. She has a complete turnaround as far as behavior and has become so obedient. The daily updates of videos and photos were definitely a plus if you have concerns with being away from your dog. Such a reassurance. We are very appreciative of the work they've done. Thank you so much for everything

And I am extremely grateful to Advanced Canine Development. They gave my Chiweenie, Eva something that I was never able to give her. My little chiweenie is very sweet and has a lot of energy, which I was not unable to work through. Advanced Canine knew how to have Eva release all that energy so that she can work on her training skills. They have gone above and beyond working through Eva's fears of puddles, loud sounds, stairs, distractions, socialization and grooming. Eva despised the travel bag, not anymore, now she finds it a comfortable place to chill. They train me as well, so that when Eva comes home, we can continue what we have learned. The weekend pack walks are a bonus. We can join them at the parks, refining our skills as we walk through large groups of people. All of the trainers work together seamlessly with Eva, they have become her extended family. I'm grateful to God for helping me choose Advanced Canine Development, as I was scrolling through the internet to find a reputable trainer for Eva. We got that and much much more. 🕊️🐾🐾

Our 4 yr old dog came with a lot of concerns - counter surfing, pulling on leash, separation anxiety, reactivity, etc. We came with a mile long list for ACD to helo us with and they did amazing. Its his first week out and he’s already a champ during walks. The best part is that they still provide tips and support after your pup leaves the training. Highly rec their weekend walks. Its basically a free class and they always provide new tips to help.

We are over the moon excited for the progres our little boy has made! Before he came to visit Miss Haley, we were unable to put a leash on him let alone go for a walk. He hid from everything and everyone and didn’t seem to like being touched or loved on. All that has changed now thanks to our friends at advanced canine development. We started seeing progress with him, his very first day. Even though it was really hard for us to be away from him for two weeks, we are so glad that we made the decision. we are able to go for daily walks now, and he has such good manners that everyone he meets enjoys his company! He is happier and is a lot more confident now!😋👍
