FirstBarkHighly recommend Matt at Highland Canine. He took my unruly 2 yr old mixed breed dog into the Board & Train program and transformed her in a few weeks. Now she walks without pulling me, answers to all the commands Matt taught her and she has more respect for me.

Depends on what classes you are looking for. Are you looking for in kennel or private lessons. It is best to call the office and get a direct quote.

Our youngest son has an autism diagnosis. We decided to get him a dog for multiple reasons. Our journey was different because we raised our puppy for the first 10 weeks. We weren’t entirely sure if service training was in the cards but decided to visit Highland when they agreed to evaluate our dog. During that visit we got to know them, they got to know our son, and most importantly spent time with our dog (Maxi). They agreed to take her in and we made our decision shortly thereafter. It was difficult to let Maxi go but we knew she was in good hands. During her 9 months of training we were able to visit as much as we liked. They were always very accommodating. It was important to us to keep the bond with her and make sure our son remained comfortable. My wife did a good job training Maxi initially, but her abilities when she “graduated” were nothing short of amazing. Carlos and Sammie spent several days with us upon delivery to practice all her new skills. The delivery process is tremendously helpful. They will continue to support us if needed. Our experience from start to finish was excellent. We would recommend them without hesitation.
This is an amazing company and facility. We partnered over 5 years ago and we have a wonderful Golden-doodle that has changed our autistic sons life. Having Carlos from the very beginning and then to visit us and train US and refresh Merlin (our dog), has been an amazing experience. Thank you!
They lied to me that Psychiatric service dogs were not recognized by the ADA, when they are! Unprofessional.
Really friendly staff. Definitely helped me with understanding how to train my dog. The skills learned through basic obedience have helped me with polishing all of my dogs training. Would definitely recommend.
