Canine Academy Columbus

I took my 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy (Rosie) to Canine academy. I was honestly in over my head with some of her puppy behaviors and energy. Rosie struggled with recall, being redirected and would engage in mouthing of our hands and her walk on a leash was, well, horrid to say the least. Rosie attended the board and train program and matched with Ashley as a trainer. Ashely work so diligently with her and provided updates on her work and progress. When Ashley was not actively training Rosie, the Care Team here provided me updates and pictures of her enjoying play time and and visiting with her “friends”. After her time with Ashley I saw the progress through the videos/pictures and calls I got along the way but seeing her in person was a different experience. Rosie was her same loving self but had a new skill - self control. She had the ability to control and refocus her energy on specific tasks and had significantly more impulse control. She truly knows ALL of the commands they said they would teach. I now can take her around other people, in public spaces and around other dogs with a new condience for her and myself honestly. THANK YOU ASHLEY! I cannot say it enough, you changed our life.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Canine Academy. My dog Leo did the nine day Board and Train with Alex, and I’m honestly blown away by the difference. He walks so much better on a leash now, stays focused, and you can tell he actually enjoys training. Alex was incredibly patient and thoughtful with Leo, especially since he recently had knee surgery and doesn’t always want to sit on command. Instead of forcing it, Alex adjusted the training to what Leo could comfortably handle. It meant a lot to me to see someone pay attention to his limitations and still help him succeed. The bond they built was so clear. Leo absolutely lit up around Alex, which made me feel so good about leaving him in someone else’s care. And the entire care team was amazing. I got updates every single day from Alex and the care team, so I always knew how Leo was doing and what he was working on. We’re genuinely so happy with the progress Leo made and feel so much more confident moving forward. I would recommend Canine Academy, and especially Alex, to anyone looking for a trainer who truly goes above and beyond.

We needed to board our 8mo old mini bernedoodle. We decided to do a board and train program. After interviewing several different programs I knew canine academy was the perfect place for my boy. They were so professional and made me feel like they would treat him like one of their own. I’ve never boarded a dog before and was so nervous but they sent me pictures everyday and he was having the time of his life. Kayla was his trainer and she was amazing! I shared specifically the issues we’re having at home. We have a 2 year old and the toys and distractions in the home have been challenging for Tucker. She pushed him and challenged him and he is doing amazing. Friends and family have been so impressed so far. He has been a new dog. I’m so thankful we decided to send him to canine academy for training. I feel like we are finally all feeling happy in the home.
