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 did such a fantastic job with my puppy!! He kept me updated throughout the week, with video updates and daily messages! He responds very quickly with any questions or concerns I have regarding the at home training! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to board their dogs for training!!

We did the 5 week class with Kayla and Ashley and a small group of other owners and dogs. It was very helpful with our 1 year old bernadoodle who started out super anxious and reactive. I was a bit unsure what to expect, but they broke up the lessons into doable weekly focus areas and it didn’t feel overwhelming. They took the time with us to help figure out our dog specifically and I appreciated that. Our dog responded well to it and we’ll continue working with her. Thank you 🙌🏼

We did the puppy board and train with Alex and the obedience board and train with Shannon and it was a wonderful experience. I am so glad that we made this investment to train our puppy and have an absolutely incredibly well behaved dog for life. The best part was that the trainers really listen to the issues that you have with your pet, work on fixing those issues and then have follow up trainings with you to teach you how to continue and maintain what was taught to your pet. This training was imperative for me as I have always struggled with my dogs obeying my husband (alpha), but not me ( short, easy going woman). Since the training, I now know how to work with my dogs and both my puppy and my 10 year old terrier, now listen and respect me. My puppy loved the Canine Academy. It literally felt like dropping her off at summer camp, with a care team and cute doggy cabins. They sent progress pictures most days and I could see how much fun she was having with her fellow doggy training friends and her trainers. I also love the group support classes for the life of your pet. We have only been to one so far and it was fantastic! I am so grateful that we found such an amazing training camp and community of dog lovers to boot.

Alex worked miracles with our very stubborn, set in his ways, one year old male mini dachshund. We chose the 8 day board and train program. The cost was very reasonable compared to other board and train programs we researched, and after seeing the results, it was worth every penny! We received multiple pictures and updates daily from the care team of Frankie during his play time and walks, and received multiple videos and updates from Alex showing what commands Frankie had learned each day. The progress he made throughout his stay was truly amazing, and the e collar clearly was a benefit in his training process. Our two hour lesson with Alex before we brought Frankie home was thorough and extremely helpful. Alex was patient and took time to answer all of our questions, making sure we were comfortable with the e collar and all of the commands before heading home with Frankie. We are so pleased with the positive results in Frankie's behavior and overall demeanor. We are only 5 days into the training at home, and he already obeys every command he learned from Alex. I am so less stressed about having Frankie loose in the house, walking him on our street, and simply just having him come to us when called. No more chasing a dog around the house! We are grateful for the work Alex put in to helping Frankie be such a good listener, and for the care team who loved him and cared for him like he was one of their own. The grounds are clean, beautiful, and spacious. We truly are so impressed by everything Canine Academy has to offer, and the positive results we have seen in our sweet Frankie!
