Canine Academy Columbus

We took our 5 year old golden doodle, who had some resource guarding issues, to Canine Academy. We tried very hard over the years to get his resource guarding under control, but it wasn’t until Canine Academy got involved that we really feel like it’s not a safety hazard to have him in certain situations. We now feel that we have the tools to manage his “moments” with ease. He listens, we’re seeing less of these “moments”, and he’s getting along amazingly with our new dog. It went so well that we decided to take our new addition, our Labradoodle puppy, to Canine Academy. Both dogs behave EXACTLY how we want. We feel that Kayla and Ashley heard what we wanted to get out of our dogs’ experiences and tailored their approach towards our discussions. We truly don’t have enough good things to say about our experiences with both dogs. Everyone is friendly, they’re mindful of what YOU want to see, they don’t force you into a mold, they shape your dog to what you’d like to see them accomplish. Most importantly, they’re extremely kind and compassionate to each dog’s abilities and disposition. We will without question be coming back in the future to have our dogs boarded here and any other dogs in our future will be trained here. They have immaculate reviews for a reason, this is the place you’ve been looking for.

I cannot say enough good things about Canine Academy. I sent my dog Silas, a young and very strong pitty mix, for training with Ashley and the transformation has been incredible. Before training, Silas had terrible leash manners. Walking him honestly felt like I was going to get my arm ripped out of my socket. He also got extremely excited when he saw people and would jump on them like no other. His recall was basically nonexistent and he would not come when called. When I picked him up from training, it truly felt like night and day. His leash walking has improved so much and I finally feel in control when I take him out. His recall skills are better than ever, and he genuinely listens to me now. The progress Ashley made with him is amazing, and it is clear she is knowledgeable, patient, and truly understands dogs. She gave Silas the structure he needed and also helped me feel more confident as an owner. I also have to mention how wonderful the care team was throughout the entire process. They provided daily picture updates, which made me feel so comfortable and happy seeing Silas doing well and being taken care of. On top of that, the campus is absolutely beautiful and so well kept. You can tell they take pride in everything they do. I am beyond grateful for Ashley and Canine Academy. I would recommend them to anyone, especially if you have a strong, high energy dog who needs real training that actually works. Ashley is the best and Silas is better because of her.
