Dawn did amazing with my German Shepard who’s a year and a half old. My dog would get easily distracted and not listen. I left him with Dawn for 2 weeks and when I came back to get him it was like he was a total different dog! I also loved how she would send me updates. I highly recommend this place and Dawn if you’re looking to get your dog trained by a true professional! Thank you so much Dawn and Canine solutions!!

We recently took our 10 month old Akita pup to Dawn .. he was a mouthy, jumping, pulling 95 pound pup. It was difficult to leave him anywhere for two weeks … but when we picked him up he was our loving fompanion but otherwise completely different pup. Wow he heels, no jumping will find his spot and leave the toys alone …it was worth every moment of the two weeks. Dawn and her staff did amazing … We and Nico are a much happier family . I would do this for your new family member. I can’t say enough about the service just Do It!!! Thank you Dawn and Staff.

Highly recommend Dawn at Canine Solutions. Great on communication when my girl Molly was there. Lots of videos and pictures showing updates on what she was learning. Great experience overall and highly recommend. I could tell immediately by videos that Molly was happy and loved. Great skill sets with Dawn and you can tell she enjoys it. She accomplished more in 2 weeks than we have in 3 months since adopting Molly. She accommodated me with a day earlier pick up, since I worked all day on the last day. She went over with what Molly learned and I left knowing what to do and what not do, to help Molly continue growing in her training. The leave it command has helped us tremendously from our cat, to shoes, to even rocks in our yard. Also her stay and recall is amazing. Molly is still very much herself, but a much better well mannered dog!

Our GSD puppy was a handful! She was beyond "puppy" misbehavior. My wife was at the end of her rope with the constant challenges of over excitability, extreme mouthing with occasional blood drawn, and just constantly getting into things. Two weeks with Dawn, and she's like a different pup. She's so much more enjoyable when she listens to our commands. Her sweet side comes through now. If you have a dog that is making you question your decision to get one, please consider taking her/him to Dawn. You won't regret it.
