FirstBarkDevon and Heather are true professionals. What a pleasurable and informative experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them. They have very informative and clever ways of dealing with dog training. I was comfortable with them from the moment they walked in. In one session they were able to address all my concerns. In addition I was able to actually see progress from their suggestions.

I am so glad that I found Canine Campus’s training day camp! My 16-month-old puppy, Remy, went to another day camp in town for about nine months, but their play group sizes were getting out of control and he was clearly overwhelmed. (That business’s chaotic response to a recent fire at its boarding kennel pushed me over the edge.) Canine Campus is a small, very professional operation. Heather welcomed us when we arrived this morning and answered all of my questions about how they manage their play groups. When I picked up Remy this evening, he looked contented and happily exhausted. Not overwhelmed at all. I also enjoyed chatting with the young woman at the front desk, and I appreciated being able to take my time getting Remy’s stuff together. At the other place, you (and a bunch of other people) have to wait in the lobby for someone to bring your dog to you. Canine Campus is a very welcome change. We look forward to many happy returns!
The owner seemed very smart yet she has issues with certain clients.
My, now 9 year old Vizsla, gained the skills, focus and obedience to warrant the admiration she has enjoyed over the years in big part because of Deven's positive and encouraging training methods. Many people have asked who trained her and, while tempted to say "I did!" I always fess up and admit it was Deven.

Deven is an absolute genius with dogs: Her positive, science-based approach has helped us tremendously with our own dogs and our foster dogs. Her staff is also fantastic. We have attended multiple classes at Canine Campus and always leave with great tactics and approaches that help our high-energy, anxious, intelligent German shepherds. We recommend her classes to everyone we know with dogs. If you're looking for a dog trainer in Charlottesville, look no further than Canine Campus!
