Inclined Canine Academy

We recently brought home a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and, with a baby on the way, we were on a tight timeline to make sure our dog was properly trained and ready to adjust to major changes at home. We reached out to Inclined Canine Academy, and from day one, the experience has been exceptional. Keith, Kelsey, and Cristina were incredibly responsive and accommodating, working with our schedule and unique needs. They made the process feel smooth and reassuring, especially as new dog owners juggling a lot at once. We were matched with Adrianah, our dog trainer, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better fit. Adrianah has been patient, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping our pup thrive. Her calm yet confident approach immediately put us and our dog at ease. She’s helped our Ridgeback build confidence, learn boundaries, and become much more manageable around distractions—all while preparing him to be gentle and respectful around a newborn. We are so grateful for the entire Inclined Canine team. Their professionalism, kindness, and passion for what they do shine through in every interaction. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective, and compassionate dog training support.

Inclined Canine Academy is an amazing training facility that has not only trained my reactive pup to remain calm in public settings with other dogs and people, but has also helped me better understand my dog’s triggers and learn how to redirect that focus in a more positive and constructive way. Muffin was a shy, timid and reactive dog when it came to strangers and other dogs we would pass by on our walks. I had rescued her from a shelter and they suspected she came from an abusive past and so I wanted to make sure that the trainers that would work with Muffin would be patient and kind with her. Thankfully the team from Inclined Canine Academy delivered just that and more! Their patience and expertise has allowed Muffin to come out of her shell and become the most amazing and confident dog I have ever seen her become. Not only does she not bark or lunge towards other dogs or people but she is also able to walk on leash without pulling, as well as being obedient off leash. I did the 6 week day training program, it was very convenient being able to drop Muffin off at the ranch before work, and to have the one on one training with the trainers afterwards during pick up has been very helpful in making sure I understood how to continue the training at home properly. I actually enjoyed the homework they assigned me to work on with Muffin, it felt like it allowed me to deepen our bond and she seemed to enjoy the mental exercise too. The difference has been night and day and now I have no hesitation or fear when I bring her out to public settings. Thank you ICA for being an amazing team and for transforming Muffin into the best version of herself!

Brought my girl Birdie and worked with Kelsey for the 6 week day train. We were nervous Birdie was to sensitive and anxious, but they took their time and our pup did great. She is much more confident, listens and enjoys going out in public rather than being nervous. We have started doing the pack walks and that is helping her even more. We are so happy to have taken the chance on inclined canine. Keith and Kelsey and staff are great people and you can tell they love dogs.
