Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

What can a dog trainer help with?

A dog trainer can help you control your dog's behavior, communicate effectively with your dog, and build your dog's confidence. This can reduce dog reactivity and symptoms of separation anxiety, as well as reducing unwanted behavior. Many dog trainers use basic obedience methods - that means teaching the dog a small set of commands to help them know exactly what to do. A good trainer will also help you to become a confident dog handler. That means you'll learn how to use those commands together to navigate your dog through any situation. To make sure you reap all of the benefits of professional dog training, make sure your trainer has experience with your dog's breed and temperament, and that your trainer uses positive reinforcement training. Also, it's critical to ask your trainer how they will prepare you to be a better dog owner.

Question on Google
Is it OK to send your dog away for training?

While it's natural and expected for both dogs and their humans to miss each other while apart, sending your dog away for training can have some very positive benefits for you dog. The distance from your dog during their training can be a big boost to their confidence, which has shown to improve their socialization skills and could even help with dogs who exhibit separation anxiety. It's important that you find a dog trainer who offers the atmosphere and enrichment that makes your dog's time away from home a positive experience with lasting benefits. Canine Academy's lush 7-acre campus and Customer Commitment towards the health, safety and well-being of your dog can help you rest easy, knowing that while your dog is learning the basics of their training program they're being spoiled around the clock by the most dedicated, dog-loving staff around.

Alex at canine academy was absolutely incredible! . He was very polite, professional, and very straight forward with our training. He’s has been wonderful at checking in and seeing if I have any questions. I felt very comfortable and at ease by the end of our visit and thanks to him I now feel more confident and knowledgeable in the work I’m doing with my dog Harley!

I just sent my 2 Belgian Malinois through Boarding Training with Alex. He certainly had his work cut out for him. He was so patient in going over all that they’ve learned with us as well as answering questions and making himself available even after they left the facility. These are like two new dogs. They actually listen, and interestingly enough want to listen and I can walk them and do everything I want to with them. One even took off from me getting out of the car, and I was able to get her to come and return to me. The peace of mind, knowing that they are safe and that others are safe, makes me so happy -more than I can express. Our lives and their lives will be changed forever because now they can go with us and live their best lives! Thanks Alex ❤️🐕

Best decision ever! I had all but given up on my 12 year old poodle, once described as an evil cotton ball with teeth! Given my dog’s age, the board and train program would be too stressful so I opted for private lessons. Instead of training my dog, Alex taught ME how to train her. At each lesson, we worked together to refine MY skills as my dog’s personal trainer. I was so proud of both my dog and myself when we passed the basic obedience skills test. Alex has given me the tools, knowledge and confidence I need to continue her journey as a calmer, more balanced companion.

Kayla has been an absolute game-changer for both me and my dog, Noodle! She was kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand Noodle’s unique personality and challenges, and created a personalized training plan that delivered results fast. Kayla’s training style is patient, positive, and effective. Whether it was leash walking, basic commands, or working on behavior issues, she explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident practicing on my own when we went home. Noodle loved her—and so did I! Thanks to Kayla, Noodle is now more focused, well-mannered, and everyone loves him. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled trainer who truly cares. Thank you, Kayla!
