We can only recommend this place and would go back anytime. We trained with our German shepherd there for quite a while. As widely known, German shepherds are a breed that need a job and an outlet for their energy and intelligence . Sandra and her staff are the perfect trainer because she knows shepherds and in general dogs extremely well. She focused on the dogs individual personality and shapes the training around it.

Absolutely the best! We did a package of 6 classes for our rescued boy and have been using the techniques and skills we learned from Sandra every day. It takes time, patience, and expertise to train dogs, and Sandra and her staff have all of the above. They are the best of the best and very affordable for the level of expertise. We will be back once life settles down a bit 🐶 we have also used the grooming services here and they were great — if we ever need to board our boy we will definitely use Canine College! 10/10 amazing 🤩

My dogs use to be so reactive but thanks to Sandra I can walk them around places and have family and friends come over over without a worry anymore.😁

We have been fortunate to work with Sandra King at Canine College. During our dog's training there, Asa (our Long Haired Shepherd) matured from a youngster with little experience of the world & reactive to everything, to a calm confident adult. He learned the basics and then, with Sandra's help, has moved on to begin working as a mobility assistance service dog. Along the way he learned to search by scent, to find objects by name, to pick up dropped objects and place them where directed, and most important of all, to have fun doing it. Sandra is well attuned to ways to motivate dogs. Dogs are happy there -- tails are wagging and eyes are bright. The most important thing I learned in classes there was that what happens at home is the most crucial part of training. With a good and responsible owner, training continues for life -- long after classes ore over. But working with a good teacher sets up a foundation that makes it really work.

The folks at this place are outstanding. They take their time with all the dogs! They are very understanding to our needs and our dogs' needs.
