Compatible Canine Center

Results Matter! Compatible Canine Center produces results! It is very important to me to have a well-trained dog for many reasons, including the dog’s safety. I was referred to Lance Woodley, owner of Compatible Canine Center (CCC), and was quickly and efficiently set up in new puppy obedience classes. These classes are not held on a demanding schedule and I wondered how my dog would learn. What I learned is I was really signing myself up for “people training” because we have to train our dogs, it isn’t magic, it is work and it’s an ongoing process. If you think you can teach your dog how to behave by going for an hour a week or send them away for resident training and not continue to work with them every day, you probably should get a cat. At CCC we are taught progressively each week how to train our dog; one lesson builds upon another. Our homework, for both owner and dog, in between classes was to keep reinforcing the lessons at home with our dogs. I admit, I was pretty nervous, I have a big, strong dog that has to behave, not jump on people, not pull me down the street when we walk, not be aggressive to other people, children and dogs. I asked the question the day I signed up, what can I realistically expect at the end of the puppy training session? Answer: “If you do your part, your dog will be trained so that she will behave for you off leash.” Right! I thought No Way - that can’t be possible - but figured it would be worth the effort if that could potentially be the result at the end of puppy training, even half that result would be great. The result is 100%!! She is still a puppy so I will continue to work with CCC to continue training. I highly recommend Compatible Canine Center, they know what they are doing!

Compatible Canine Center and Lance Woodley are the best things that happened to the dog training/behavior business in the Boston/New England area. I've never seen or heard of anyone who understands the dog as Lance does. He'll show you how to manage your dog so it's not ALL about the dog. Or you can just go for basic training, which is better than most others because the dog understands how you are trying to train them. Whatever the issue may be, contact CCC and give it a try. He'll make no guarantees because that's unrealistic, but he won't give up on you!

I had no idea what I was doing with my first dog. I had heard of Lance through a friend of mine who also owns a Rhodesian. She raved about Lance, and Compatible Canine, so I gave it a shot with my then 5 month old puppy (He's now 11 months and I am still going for classes happily). Not only did Lance and the other trainers work with my pup, but they have given me tremendous support as I begin life with a dog. You must be able to look past the space, and trust that they know how to make it work. I would recommend the whole crew to anyone.
