Our “BEAR” had a great lesson with Tim and the lesson was very effective. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the services offered at the Canine College 👍

Took my dog in for an evaluation. After bringing her back home, my dog seemed almost totally different in her behaviors. I schedule for 4 private training lessons. We worked on her heel and stay. Have a little bit more work but Bailey is well on her way in learning. The instructor is very knowledgeable and willing to work with you.

This place is absolutely wonderful. I took my dog for a month board and train and he came out an even more fantastic dog than he was before going in. Tim and Sandra worked with my dog and helped me with anything I needed and was very patient with me and my dog. They also work along side us at lewis county humane society and they have done AMAZING work with the dogs they have fostered for us, one even became a bomb detection dog. I would highly recommend anyone who needs training for there pup to go see these guys promise it's worth every penny

Amazing resource for the community!!!! The extensive level of knowledge about dogs and their training has surpassed my expectations. After a lengthy period of scouting out this place, I finally decided to bring a dog to them for training….my German Shepherd puppy. The team of trainers there have done a wonderful job with him! They needed to customize training based on his behaviors (he can be a handful). They listened to me and focused on what my goals for training were. They even took the time to let me know what types of sports and activities my dog would excel with once they got to know him. Plus, the trainers assisted me with setting up the proper equipment for him and recommended changing his amount of food so he would be at peak condition. It is a one stop shop for both you and your dog to learn! Staff is very friendly, helpful, and truly care about your animal’s welfare. Read that last sentence again. What also amazes me is how clean the facility is. Kudos to the team for making cleanliness a priority. I feel really good about bringing my dog there. My dog loves going there and he is so happy with his trainers! I have been doing the day and train which has worked out perfectly for my needs. I spent a significant amount of time and energy making sure I selected a good place with high quality trainers. I really like the owner, she is to the point and won’t sugarcoat what your dog needs. She also has extensive knowledge on German Shepherds - from pedigree to training! You can tell that every single person at the Canine College is there for their love of dogs and they want the very best for your dog too! I don’t often write reviews but when something is as good as the Canine College, I had to chime in. Check the place out, talk with the staff, and see what they can help you with. While I haven’t boarded there, I most certainly would trust my dog to their care in a heartbeat. A dog is a family member in my home and I certainly wouldn’t risk their comfort and safety. I’m so thankful for this amazing resource that is so close to home. June 2024 Update: I had to take my GSD to PETCO and I was worried he might misbehave since he has previously been and was quite reactive to other dogs. I wanted to report back about how amazing he did. He made one bark as we pulled in and he saw a dog. I corrected it with the collar and that was the last bark he made. He was such a good boy, not reactive to the many dogs in the store. He heeled, sat and down/settled very well. I had to also stop at Runnings for duck food so I brought him in and he was so well behaved there too! I am still in shock. Thanks canine college team, fantastic work!

Sandra is truly one of a kind. She not only is the breeder of my puppy but took him in for training recently. She’s provided wonderful updates, care, and so much more for him. He has an outstanding temperament, perfect drive, and is everything I could’ve asked for and more. I couldn’t be more grateful to her!
