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.

Nothing but good things to say about this place. :) We just adopted a dog named Chloe through their Home Again program. Jacey was great! She helped us integrate our two dogs with the new adopted dog. Meeting with me once a week for little play dates to make sure they got along. Alex helped train our two dogs we already had since Chloe was already trained. He was amazing and answered all of our questions, still does! We have three amazingly behaved dogs now and I never thought I would say that. 😂

Great experience! My 1.5 year boxer was considered crazy Daisy…jumping and not listening. After her week with Alex she is a changed dog! No jumping, comes when called just an all around much better listener! Also they did a great job of communicating with me on her daily progress during her stay. Highly recommended.

Cannot say enough about our trainer Shannon! She helped my pup go from uncontrollable to a respectable little dog! I can now take her out in public and always get complimented on how well behaved she is. Thank you, thank you!!

Such a great experience. I had shopped around a bit and yes, canine academy was on the more expensive side but none are cheap and after speaking with them I felt much more confident that we would see results vs some of the others. Spending a little more felt worth it and it was. My very high energy bernedoodle puppy learned a solid foundation for us to continue her training at home. Alex is such a kind person and a wonderful dog trainer. The care team was also wonderful. They would send photos and updates daily and honestly they’re some of the best pics we have of our girl!! Will continue to come back. 10/10

Alex did what I didn’t think was possible with my rowdy little girl. I have been very impressed with how far along she came in such a short time. The whole experience was top notch. I appreciate how the program offers continued support which is much needed. This picture shows her sass. 🤣. I also was so pleased with the pictures and videos that were sent during her time away. 👍🏻
