About Canine Coach Academy

Hi, I’m Hallie Tyler. After 20yrs of owning/operating a doggie daycare, boarding and grooming business in Bangor, I have quite an extensive background in dog behavior. Working with a pack of 40+ dogs a day, rehabilitating rescue dogs and socializing aggressive, fearful dogs into the pack has been my specialty. I specialize in dog behavior modification. I can help you with any undesired behaviors such as aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety, leash pulling, etc. Whether I come to your home or we work together online, I can help you build a better relationship with your dog through kindness and respect. Dogs need and require guidance, leadership, exercise, and love in order to be at their best.

I started with hallies training program for my Boston terriers.\n On Monday.\n 4 days ago I cannot believe how much they have gained in obedience. Already. This Academy to train dogs is incredible. I was literally at my end of my ropes with frustration did not know what to do. My that recommended her 100%. I was a little nervous going in, but I had nothing to lose. And I will tell anyone that will listen. They are the best of the best. And I want to thank them on the bottom of my heart for helping me at this time. We have a long ways to go, but we're on the right road with my boys. If anyone is looking for training, obedience, etc.For their dogs , I would highly recommend calling canine coach academy!

I was referred to Hallie by 2 different people because I was struggling to manage my Australian Shepherd puppy. Toby is not my first Aussie but is my first Aussie puppy. I was getting so frustrated because we had so many issues. Pulling on the leash, not listening, jumping.... You name it, were had the struggle. I was frustrated. Toby was confused. We meet with Hallie once. She immediately recognized our issue... We didn't know how to communicate with him so he didn't know what we expected from him. Hallie worked with my husband and I to teach us how to let Toby know what we wanted from him. She never made us feel like bad doggy parents. She showed us what we could do to help Toby understand. After one training session (mostly for my husband and I) we now have a better behaved boy who walks nicely on a leash, knows how to properly greet people and to listen to us. He's eager to please and is such a joy. Hallie reminded us that Toby is a herding dog and if he doesn't have a way to get his energy out, he's going to develop not so great habits. On her suggestion, we got Toby toys (herding ball, flirt pole and the appropriate collar). He's now a totally different boy that brings us smiles instead of tears of frustration. Hallie doesn't leave you high and dry after meeting. She's always a text or call away if something comes up. She is all about helping people learn and understand how to have the best relationship with their best dog! Can't recommend her enough!!

When he heard Hallies voice on a FB video he got excited and was looking for her :). Hallie's reassurance to me as a new puppy parent what I needed as well. Thank you Hallie! You will be proud of the progress Oliver has made.

We heard about Hallie through a trusted friend and from the beginning of our meeting with Hallie we knew she was special! Hallie has a very strong, confident and calming presence around dogs and the dogs respond positively to her almost immediately. We have worked with Hallie with both private lessons and also the board and train program and the results and tools we have collected from the experiences are beyond our expectations! The tools we have learned have not only made our dogs better behaved but have also in turn created a more positive environment for us all. Our dogs are 200% better behaved and we as a dog family feel less stress, more peace and more in control of our environment.

Hallie saved us! Her genuine care and support helped us integrate our new pup into the pack. She was also very supportive with a gut wrenching decision we made given some difficult circumstances. We never felt any judgement. She has made us better people, helped mold us into pack leaders. She has definitely instilled confidence in me. Her guidance and expertise is priceless. You can tell her passion is helping dogs and people. And let’s be real, the issue is the people, not the dogs. She has taught us so much! I have the upmost respect and gratitude for everything she does and offers. The training and adventure trips have helped my pup gain confidence and skills. If you stay consistent and follow through with training, you will be amazed at the progress. My pup is completely different than when we first started. My friends and colleagues have noticed a tremendous difference. I look forward to my continued work with Hallie. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dog, who needs to learn how to be better pet owners.
