About Canine Karma Dog Training

Canine Karma Training is THE original "Relationship-Based Dog Training" program. We have a truly unique approach, as our program is focused on the relationship between the dog and owner, because relationship is everything. "Relationship dictates behavior and obedience, not repetition." Whether or not your dog listens to you or behaves for you is purely based on the relationship you have with them. You don't get an "obedient" dog from endless hours of working on basic commands (sit, down, come). We focus on educating our clients in order to create a much more knowledgable and capable owner. The relationship we build for you results in: a dramatically easier, well-behaved, and obedient dog, that you'll enjoy for the rest of their life.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Kaitlyn and Dave at Canine Karma! We boarded and trained our dog Moose with them for 30 days and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, everyone was incredibly professional, communicative, and caring. They kept us updated constantly throughout Moose’s stay, sent us educational videos so we could understand what he was learning, and made us feel like we were part of the entire training process even though we were away. Most importantly, they treated Moose like he was their own dog. Thirty days is a long time to be away from your pup, and honestly, this is the first place where I never felt worried about him. Knowing he was safe, happy, cared for, and in such capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. And the results speak for themselves. Moose is a completely different dog—in the best possible way! Canine Karma went above and beyond our expectations. We are so grateful for everything Kaitlyn and Dave did for Moose and for the peace of mind they gave us during those 30 days. If you are considering boarding and training your dog, I cannot recommend them enough. We would absolutely trust them with Moose again!

Enrolling my 2-year-old dog, Sebastian, in Canine Karma’s 45-day board and train program was hands down the best decision we’ve made for him. Sebastian is naturally a very social dog who loves being around other dogs, but as part of his continued training, we needed dedicated professional help addressing his territorial barking and reactivity toward people, as well as introducing crate training for the very first time. Rather than relying on unstructured daycare environments that he was accustomed to, Canine Karma provided the intentional structure, clear boundaries, and personalized focus Sebastian truly needed. From start to finish, the entire team was phenomenal—proactive with communication, incredibly responsive, and clearly invested in the well-being of the dogs in their care. Since returning home, Sebastian’s transformation has been night and day. He is noticeably calmer, adjusts peacefully to his crate, and demonstrates drastically improved household manners and focus during our structured daily walks. Most importantly, Canine Karma made sure I was fully equipped with the tools, resources, and confidence to maintain his routine at home. We are deeply grateful for their expertise and exceptional care—I cannot recommend them enough!

I highly recommend Canine Karma’s board and train program.They helped my fearful reactive dog so much. She is now a happy more confident girl, getting better every day. She also learned all the important commands! The owners and trainers are wonderful!

What can I say. We are absolutely blessed to have found David, Isabela, and their amazing team. My initial reason for reaching out was because I was having trouble potty training Ace my newly rescued month old Pitbull. I would’ve been happy if only this was corrected. I couldn’t have imagined how much more both Ace and I would have benefited from a 30 day board and train. Canine Karma gave us a solid foundation to keep building and improving together. I loved what I was seeing through the updates they would send so much that we decided to send our 4 year old Cane Corso to correct some behavior issues that had developed. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I have received multiple compliments on how these two behave themselves. Custos, Ace, my family and I are extremely thankful for all your hard work, insight and continued support. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! We continue to train everyday. These two have turned into the best dogs I have ever had the pleasure of calling family. I will always point everyone in your direction when people ask about where they can get their dogs trained. Even this review doesn’t say enough about the great things you all do for all the families in need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We turned to Canine Karma for help with our 4 year old Malinois, Ymir. They were beyond amazing. Each individual treated our pup with the same level of care she would get at home. The high structure environment and rigorous training schedule helped turn our nervous and reactive maligator into a functional and well rounded dog. She is no longer reactive on walks or in public and has learned to lean on us for support when she seems unsure. We’re so thankful for every bit of guidance they have offered us.
