I highly recommend Blue Ridge Canine Academy. They are extremely knowledgeable. I’d trust them with any of my dogs!😊

Cameron and his team has walked us through being first time dog owners and at-home dog trainers of our Staffy mutt from 4 months old to a year. Every lesson was filled with actionable lessons, put into an understandable format. BRCA helped us to understand our puppy and now she is the sweetest and well-behaved dog in our neighborhood! I can't recommend these guys enough!!!

Cameron has done a wonderful job teaching us how to help our big, sweet, but rambunctious pup to use her manners. Being able to redirect her abundant energy into learning to behave has been very helpful.

I reached out to Cameron earlier this year for help with my Dutch Shepherd. Cameron and everyone at Blue Ridge Canine Academy have been immensely helpful, informative and patient. Our training has not felt like a one-size-fits-all approach. Cameron has taken the time to really get to know my dog and tailored his training to help him reach his fullest potential. The care and compassion they show their clients, both 2 and 4 legged, is second to none and I truly cannot recommend them enough. 10/10!

Blue Ridge has the best trainers around. They cater their training program to the individual dog and personality in front of them rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. They understand how to read dogs, that they’re all different, and how best to accomplish your specific goals with your specific dog. Everything they teach revolves around building on your relationship with your dog and working as a team together in a fun way which helps the training stick. If you follow their direction and keep up with things on your end, you will have reliable obedience that lasts. My high energy Doberman can pose for pictures off leash downtown, lay under a table at a cafe and hang out, and behave in pet friendly stores - all things that Blue Ridge can help you with. They’re the only people I trust with my dog here.
