I have been a customer of Canine Perspective since 2022. My rescue dog, Cass, is reactive towards other dogs and requires structure and exercise. Jessie and the Canine Perspective team provide Cass with both in abundance. Before trying Canine Perspective, I did not think Cass could play with other dogs due to his reactivity. However, seeing Cass play with other dogs or exercising on treadmills next to other dogs on the CP socials is a highlight of my day(Jessie & team work wonders!). In addition, I know that they care deeply for all of the dogs entrusted to their care on any given day. We have used Canine Perspective for daycare (Cass loves it and is always so excited to be dropped off), as well as boarding. We trust them implicitly to keep our pup safe, and it gives us peace of mind to know that he is cared for and enriched whether he is at Canine Perspective for, be it for Daycare or Boarding. Thank you so much Jessie, Elizabeth, and the CP Team!

Our dog trained with Canine Perspective and we use them regularly for both boarding and daycare. The training has been really helpful - both training us to be comfortable with our dog's e-collar and training our dog's previously-unruly behaviors. The fact that for dinner he now goes and sits on his bed without even being commanded is amazing. The pickups for daycare are super helpful and we really appreciate that he has structured activities and the same rules at daycare/boarding that he does at home. Thanks!

Thank you for always taking such great care of Lenny! Having a reactive dog can be hard, but knowing he is at a structured daycare that works with him and his needs eases my anxiety when traveling!

Canine perspective is the only place we trust with our dog. We have a reactive dog who has hated other daycares and boarding locations, but when the CP van rolls up outside our house, Arlo rushes as fast as he can out the door and into their care. So grateful to have found this community. It gives me a break once a week and makes it so we can go on family trips while knowing our dog is in good hands.
