Linda is an absolute gem! She is extremely knowledgeable and patient with her training philosophy and her true love of dogs is evident in every interaction. We brought our puppy Bear to her at 8 weeks old to begin obedience training and it has completely transformed him and us! We learned how to actually play with our puppy to keep him engaged and happy—we learned countless training tactics that will benefit Bear for the rest of his life. We’ll certainly be bringing him back for continued training and can’t thank her enough!

Linda was amazing! She really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs and behavior management and more. She helped us get ourselves in order to get our puppy in order and have a ton of fun along the way. She’s straightforward, effective, and takes a balanced approach of using strategies that work. She gets to know your pup and helps you gauge the effect of different techniques to find what works best for the dog’s specific personality. Amazing experience!

I just completed a six week puppy class with my puppy Oliver. I cannot express how much Oliver and I both learned. He has mastered many commands, and understands both verbal and hand signals. I am able to take him into stores, banks, and my fathers nursing home and know his behavior will be acceptable at all times. Linda also recommended a seat belt system for my pup. Now he sits comfortably in the back seat and can relax while traveling. I highly recommend Linda Porter and her Canine Training Academy.
