Zoe has done a great job of training my dog George and taking care of him while I'm out of town. George is nervous around other dogs but feels right at home with Canine Instinct Academy . Four paws up!

I have owned herding dogs for years and never had one I couldn't train myself until my Aussie doodle! He had a lot of anxiety which caused him to be over hyper, he would bark at us when we would leave and he had a very strong will in not listening. The most challenging problem was he would jump on anyone who came to visit and not stop. I hated having to separate him from everyone when we had guests. After working with my dog for over a year, I finally hired Zoe. I am pretty convinced that when Zoe met my dog, she knew she would have her hands full with him. Within the first private training session, I could see a difference in his ability to calm himself. Zoe showed me how to be clearer in my communication. She also taught me how to use an e-collar to get his attention when he was 'out of his head.' The training was always productive and my dog still gets better every day. The most fun was taking my dog to Home Depot and watching him stay calm and not get distracted by people, noises and other dogs. I especially highly recommend Zoe for those with hyper doodles and I can see where she would be great with any breed.

We sent our Frenchi away for 3 weeks for a board and train program. He left as a puppy with puppy tendencies and he came back to us as a perfect gentleman. He can now place on command, sit and stay until being released, walks off leash perfectly, and has all his manners!! He is sooo cool and is ready for adventures!!! We look forward to the aftercare appointments we get as a part of the purchase as well, nice touch to ensure training is spot on for both humans and doggos :) Thanks Canine Instinct Academy - See you soon!

Zoe did a great job teaching my 10 month old the basic obedience classes. I chose a hybrid program so she could train me and Bailey how we can communicate and work together. We are still working on commands and making progess but we'll get there. Even when she took him out on the field trips he paid attention and followed instructions better. I highly recommend the trainings and working with your dog.
