We are a non-profit that brings therapy dogs to schools, nursing homes, and more. We also pay for prospective therapy dog teams to receive training. We send many of our prospective volunteers to Canine Karma and it always goes great. Highly recommend!

Tina is a terrific instructor and we highly recommend Canine Karma for meeting your dog training needs. We have tried pet store training classes in the past, and there is no comparison in the quality of training, the content of the material, and the results with your dog. We have had both group and private lessons with Tina. The group lessons are good for training fundamentals, and they also provide limited/controlled exposure to other dogs (this exposure is seeing other dogs walking into class and hearing their on-going sounds...but during class there are barriers that obstruct viewing them). The private sessions were very helpful in fine-tuning training to the particular needs of our dog. Fitting in private lessons between group lessons worked well for our bratty, spoiled, and easily distracted puppy. We completed our first set of group classes, and will do more fine-tuning in a few private lessons, then enroll her in another set of group classes for additional skills. BTW - our dog loves going there....she gets excited in the car as we get near the facility!

If you want to build a relationship and bond with your dog while using positive reinforcement training instead of adverse and fearful training methods, then look no further! My pups have spent many hours training in different classes with Canine Karma and the results speak for themself. I'm so grateful to have such a great positive reinforcement training option near me. Thank you to Tina and all at Canine Karma for providing such a knowledgeable and safe option for training our companions. 🐕🐕

Best training facility I have ever used. When I was in search for a trainer, I was drawn to Canine Karma because it is entirely force free training. I wanted my dog to learn his skills without a choke collar, prong collar, or e collar. Positive reinforcement makes for a relaxed, eager to learn dog. The classes offered are fun for both dog and owner and provide a special time for bonding as we work together as a team. I also like the opportunity to build community and make friends by activities such as game night for the dog parents and group dog walks. I would not take my dog to any other trainer
We received a pamphlet at the vet for Canine Karma back in 2024, and my friend recommended it as well. We love Tina and the fact she advocates for strictly positive reinforcement! We have done a plethora of classes with her and my favorites (and my boy) is building the bond and scent work! Facility is well kept and enough space in between dogs.
