Inclined Canine Academy

I can’t believe I’m just now getting around to leaving this review, but better late than never — my experience was absolutely worth sharing. I boarded and trained my dog here over a year ago, and the impact has truly lasted. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and success. A huge thank you to Keith, Kelsey, and Christina — each of them played a role in making the experience such a positive one. Communication was clear, the training was effective, and I felt confident knowing my dog was in great hands the entire time. The results spoke for themselves, and I’ve continued to see the benefits long after the program ended. I would absolutely recommend this team to anyone looking for high-quality training and care from people who truly know what they’re doing and love what they do. Thank you all again for everything!

Let me just start off saying that this team goes above and beyond for your dog. They’re organized and their communication is great. My husband and I have had family dogs all our lives but our bichon poodle mix is the first one we’ve had by ourselves. Our dog came with a difficult past, which contributed to separation anxiety and oh man was he reactive. I saw an ad on instagram for the 6-week day training program and knew it was something we needed to invest in. Yes, dog training can be expensive but ICA had different payment options to make it reasonable for everyone. ICA not only trains your dog. They make sure you have the proper tools and are comfortable with continuing training even after the program. I’ve seen major improvement with my dog in the way he can hold back his reactivity. Given my dog’s temperament (and possibly terrible 2’s phase), I didn’t expect the reactivity to go away 100% but it sure has gotten a lot better. Instead of him going for 0 to 100 in a split second, you can see him make an effort to not bark when seeing other dogs. I’m confident we can reach our goals with continued training at home. After finishing the program, you can join their weekly pack walks for free to continue getting training tips and give your pups some social time. ICA is not just offering training - they're offering a unique community that I haven’t seen before.

My husband and I found ICA when searching for trainers with reactivity experience. Our 3yr old dog, Quest, was not staying calm on walks or in public. We were waking up extra early to walk him when fewer dogs were out and going to private yards/parks on Sniffspot. We love taking him out to the beach, creeks, etc to run and swim and wanted to bring him out with us as much as possible to other places. We also are expecting our first baby this spring and his stubbornness was getting me worried. ICA was an answered prayer! Keith and the whole staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, nonjudgmental, and helpful. Our dog is not easy or an angel and we are really impressed with the results after the 6 week course. The time they invest in your dogs but also making sure you are trained is amazing. Quest is doing SO much better. Listening, remaining calm, and we are enjoying bringing him out with us more. It takes consistency every day and we know what to do to keep him on right track. Strongly recommend ICA!

Inclined Canine Academy provides a top notch training program that will transform your dog into a well behaved, calm and responsible member of your family. Their day train program is excellent and we saw incredible results. Our dog went from an anxious dog that barked and lost her mind when ever she saw another dog, was terrible at going for walks, would not come when called, and would bark at any sound she heard inside our house to a confident, calm dog that walks right by our side, can be around other dogs without responding and is just a whole new dog. They also have a weekly pack walk program that provides opportunity for you to have your pup around 30+ dogs once a week in a controlled training environment. We worked with dog trainer Cristina and she was superb. This is an excellent program that is sure to give you meaningful results. We are so thankful we found them.
