Our Aussie mix Eloise had lots of issues with food reactivity, jumping, and general behavior. She did the two week board and train program with Dawn and came back a whole new dog. Dawn was so communicative throughout the entire program, frequently sending photos and videos and updating us on her progress. The ability to control her behavior has significantly reduced the stress level in our home, and we are so grateful!

Dawn treats your dog like her dog. Dawn discuses different training techniques and will train per your preference. She sends updates and videos of how your puppy is doing. She shows you how to continue at home. She is a genuinely a nice person that really cares for dogs. She is definitely a dog lover. I highly recommend her. And I wouldn’t hesitate to take any future dogs there.

We took our dog Apollo (pittie/rottie/staffie/great Pyrenees mix) to Canine Solutions for their 2 week board and train program. Before going there we had a lot of trouble with reactivity towards other dogs, and Apollo not listening to his previous training. The difference between before and after training with Dawn is night and day! We can now walk right by other reactive dogs with no issues whatsoever. Dawn makes the training very simple and you only need to spend about 10-15 minutes a day working with your dog. Don't forget that the training is not just for your dog but you as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for help with reactivity or even just a refresh in their training.

This is a glowing review. Why? Dawn deserves every bit of it. She is a trainer that other dog trainers recommend. We, and others, refer to her as "the dog whisperer". When you see the results of her training, you understand why. Our dog, Rango, is just shy of 4 months. He's an English Cream lab that attracts a lot of people wanting to pet him (he's pretty stinking cute). After his training with Dawn, he no longer jumps up on people as they approach, nor does he "puppy bite". These are in addition to all of the other training on her list of what she does. When we went for our "go-home" lesson, we just shook our heads at the changes in him and his ability to listen/obey. Dawn also truly cares about your dog. You can tell it's not just a job: it's her passion. We told Dawn it was tough leaving our guy for two weeks, but it was easier knowing she was taking care of him. If you are in need of a trainer, you need look no further than Dawn and Canine Solutions.

Canine Solutions 2 week board and train obedience session is a must if you are struggling with your dog. We have a very strong willed Mini Bull Terrier, and with Dawn's experience and guidance, she brought our boy into line. Simple guidelines to follow at home, and follow up. She kept us up to date along the way and made sure we were comfortable with all training choices. Her facility is remote and clean, and I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. I would absolutely recommend Canine Solutions to anyone looking for obedience training.
