I had a great experience working with Brenda Dreyer and all her staff @ Foothills Canine Academy. My pup Khiara arrived to her first session extremely shy and lacking confidence. Brenda gave us the tools to be successful in completing the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program. Khiara gained so much confidence that we decided to go back for the Beginner Class.

Brenda does such a good job of translating “dog trainer” language to people like me who are simply trying to transform a rambunctious puppy into a well behaved family dog. It’s a very informal and welcoming environment. She truly wants to see you & your dog succeed.
Brenda is a great instructor. She helps you and your dog where you are at, customizing the instruction to your level. Her focus is on the dog and the dog's safety and experience. Look forward to our classes.
Brenda is great! She’s clear with her instructions. She makes the class fun and easy to follow. Our pup has learned so much in a short. We already signed up for another class. Highly recommend
Brenda and the staff at Foothills Canine Academy were great with my puppy training! Very helpful tips and training for our puppy and gave us tips that also work on our older dog. Highly recommend!!
