Kyana and her team did an amazing job with my 2-year-old rescue, Juneau!

Kyana and her team did an amazing job with my 2-year-old rescue, Juneau! We did the board and train (B&T) and she stayed for 21 days which seems like a long time, but it went by quickly and Kyana posts pictures and videos on IG so I could track Juneau's progress. She went to Kyana as a timid and nervous rescue and graduated from the program with confidence and basic commands. Prior to the B&T, Juneau was leash reactive and pulled like crazy, but they were able to train her to heel, and we've been working on it every day since. Kyana and her team are very good at explaining commands (for both the dog and owner). Make sure you do the follow-up lesson - I think it ended up being more of a lesson for me than Juneau (ha), because Juneau already knew the commands and so worth it. We did a lot of work on engagement which helps keep Juneau's focus on me and not the dog she wants to lunge at. Walks are so much more enjoyable, and Juneau does a little happy dance after she gets rewarded with a "YES" which is how you release her after she nails a command. They also offer boarding which I will totally use when I have to go on travel.

Purest Canines are the kindest and most caring dog trainers we have worked with. We have been through a few with our 2 Aussiedoodles with little success. Zach and Kyana truly care and want to be sure you are very comfortable with commands and using the e-collar. They are very professional and responsive to questions and issues.

We brought our tiny 5.5lbs Pomchi to Purest Canines because she was anxious, very aggressive towards other dogs, liked to bark at people and other dogs and did not listen to commands. We also had a lot of anxiety about leaving her with Purest Canines for a month. Zack did such a great job with her. She now listens to commands like crate and place and sit. She will take a treat from our hand which she outright refused before going to Zack. But, the most critical thing she learned while being there is neutrality towards other dogs. We have brought her to friends' houses who have dogs and she will make friends or ignore the other dog. We have even had another dog in our home and, although she did not like it, she was quiet and did not bark. When we are in public, she no longer growls or barks at other people. She's not a fan of strangers but she is not barking at everyone that passes by. And if she does bark, we are now able to correct the behavior swiftly. Sure, she does not love it and grumbles (she has a big personality and thinks she runs the show, all shows and, every show that ever existed) but she does listen and we can get her to sit in her big feelings while she regulates herself. Whereas before being with Purest Canines she would bark her little head off long after the alleged threat had past. She also does not bark at other fenced in dogs that bark at us in the neighborhood when we walk her, which is amazing. It was great having someone teach our tiny doggo boundaries and expectations inside and outside the home. The most critical part of the dog training is the human training element. Zack taught us how to hold boundaries and how to be good dog owners. Little dogs are tough because they have short attention spans and big sassy attitudes but our little doggo is so much better after being with Purest Canines. We would not hesitate to leave her with Zack and his team again.

Zack trained my Mickey and after the first lesson I could already see a difference. Zack showed that love and training go together. Mickey has transformed into an obedient and loving friend. (Man’s best friend) when I rescue another to be Mickey’s partner Zack will get the call!! I highly recommend Purest canines! Thank you Zack!!

We worked with Zach for private lessons for our boys, Hudson and Owen. We wanted to build a stronger baseline of obedience and overall “life skills.” They have exceeded every expectation. Their commands are sharper, their confidence is higher, and their recall — especially — has improved tremendously. Zach took his time with each of them, never rushing the process and always focusing on building trust first. His thoughtful approach made a huge difference when introducing the e‑collar, and both boys responded beautifully. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs he works with. Hudson and Owen are thriving, happier, and genuinely living their best life thanks to the foundation Zach helped us create. We couldn’t be more happy !
