I am so grateful for Jesse, his training, and his staff at Canine Perspective! My dog struggled with reactivity, aggression, and anxiety and Jesse gave us tools to help her. We trusted them fully with her boarding when we had to leave town, and they did a great job.

Sending our dogs to Jesse and his team at Canine Perspectives was the best decision we’ve made for them. We found Canine Perspectives while searching for structured training for our 1-year-old Rottweiler, who had started resource guarding and becoming aggressive towards our older golden retriever. She was also a nightmare to walk and constantly pulled on the leash. Jesse worked with her through a 4-week board and train program, and she came back with newfound confidence, skills, and self-control. Our Golden joined her for the last 2 weeks for his own board and train. While he had been trained by another service in the past, Jesse’s approach and results exceeded all of our expectations. The videos Jesse sent explaining the commands have been pivotal in helping us reinforce their training. We also received follow-up sessions as part of the program, which have been incredibly helpful for addressing any post-training questions or challenges. Before training, I never would have attempted to walk both dogs together, but now we take them out as a pair with complete control. We recently sent them back for boarding, where they not only refreshed their skills but also enjoyed a stimulating environment with trainers they know and trust. Thank you to everyone at Canine Perspectives for caring for our pups and helping us build a stronger bond with them!

My experience with CaninePerspectives was off the charts. First, the customer service was excellent. Very attentive and kind. Because I was doing a daycare and train package they were able to help with picking up my dog. Communication was excellent and everything done was very professional. The team loves their dogs. They teach obedience in a safe way and always with kindness. The videos that Jesse provides are very detailed with all of the little details you need. For new trainees, it’s super important to watch all of the videos and practice! Follow his instructions, it works! My dog’s obedience level has increased rapidly. We are now working toward making it permanent. Which is my job. I HIGHLY recommend this family owned small business. Thank you Jesse and family!

We recently enrolled our dog in the two week Board & Train program with Canine Perspective and couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. Jesse has an incredible way with dogs and we are so impressed with how much more calm, attentive, and disciplined our 4 year old dog has been since leaving. Jesse leaves you with an interactive video and recording of your dog’s training that makes it super easy to implement at home. We’ve seen significant improvements in our dog’s obedience, social skills, and anxiety. Choosing to take our dog here was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and an added bonus is that they always show your dog on the Instagram page! Thanks again Jesse!

My boy Enzo was difficult to train using my old ways with previous dogs. He immediately responded to Jesse's methods, the light turned on for him and two years later I have a dog who listens to me because Jesse helped us communicate. People on the street have remarked what a well trained dog I have. And for daycare and boarding, the staff at Canine Perspective is so friendly, helpful, and in tune to what dogs really need.
