Working with Caleb was truly life-changing for both us and our dog. We have a 3-year-old American bulldog/pitbull mix who struggled with obedience, was very dominant in the house, and had serious food aggression and resource guarding issues, including a bite history. We honestly didn’t know if real change was even possible. Caleb completely changed the game for us. Through his guidance, our dog is now happy, obedient, and listens to commands without hesitation. The transformation has been incredible—not just in behavior, but in the overall dynamic in our home. He helped us establish a consistent routine that has made all of our lives so much better. One of the biggest changes is the peace of mind we now have. We no longer feel anxious when food is around, which was once a major concern. That alone has been huge for us. What really sets Caleb apart is not just his skill, but how much he truly cares. He is extremely professional, transparent about the work required, and supportive every step of the way. Even after training ended, he continues to check in and make himself available, which speaks volumes about his dedication. And the best part—our dog absolutely loves him. Even now, whenever Caleb comes over, he gets so excited and is over the moon to see him. We cannot recommend Caleb enough. If you’re struggling with your dog and feel unsure about what to do, trust that he can help. The results speak for themselves.

We were so happy to find such a great dog trainer in Matt Dellaira. Matt came to our home to evaluate our Australian Shepard "Eli" who at the time was about 9 mos old. We were struggling with walking him on leash when he met up with another dog or people just walking by. It was a big decision to let him go for so long but we decided to do the train & board for 4 wks. Matt picked Eli up at our home & Eli didn't hesitate to hop in his vehicle & off they went. Matt delivered him to us once he completed his 4 wk training. Matt also came to our home to follow-up a couple times to see if we had any lingering issues. We still have days when he is a little reactive but so much better than before. He gave us pointers for "our training" as well. Eli has a much calmer demeaner since completing his training. Matt & his trainers are very competent, professional & knowledgeable. We have referred Matt to a couple of our friends. We also met with him at his beautiful training center & were very impressed with his facility. If your ever in need special training for your furbaby, please do not hesitate to call him. He's the absolute BEST!

My puppy Violet is a Jack Russell terrier and we were wanting to get basic obedience training for her. Jack Russells are typically not that easy to work with but Caleb was amazing, he really reached her and made the training something she wanted to do. Never once was fear part of the equation, everything was very positive and Violet picked up on things much more quickly than I expected! I also appreciated that as the pet parent, I was given the tools to continue her success. We strongly recommend K9 Learning Academy!

Having been a dog owner throughout my life , and having to say goodbye to 3 dogs over the last two years my husband and i decided to adopt a rescue dog who turned out to have a lot of fear and severe anxiety . After doing some research we chose to meet with Matt to see what his approach would be. After our first meeting and evaluation Matt returned with one of his colleagues named Caleb and things began to change for us and our new family member .Through kindness , repetition and lots of rewards our rescue has shown very positive behavioral changes and just seems happier which was a goal we all had for her. And Caleb was a driving force in achieving this. Highly recommend these guys they are so very good at what they do

We are overjoyed and so pleased with the transformation that Caleb was able to make on our reactive dog. He was unsure of strange people and would bark in an aggressive manner when new people came up to us. He never bit anyone but we wanted to nip this before that happened. After spending three weeks with Caleb he is a lot happier with new people. In the month since working with Caleb we have had him in a bunch of new environments with new people. He actively goes up to greet people and allows people to come up to him without getting distressed and barking. I cannot recommend Caleb and the K9 Learning Academy enough!!
