We’ve been with Semper Amici Canine Training for over a year, and the transformation in our two-year-old Basset-Pit mix has been nothing short of incredible. Day by day, his behavior, obedience, and readiness for public certification have soared. Jose, Patti, and Justin are phenomenal—every program is worth every penny. Not only do you get weekly lessons and socialization with other amazing clients, but you also become part of a true community.
Being veteran-owned, they give back in every sense, and their multi-faceted training covers obedience, behavior, and even aggression. We also utilize their boarding services and wouldn’t trust our dog with anyone else.
Now we’re excited to pursue Canine Good Citizen certification, aiming to give back ourselves through therapy visits to retirement homes and hospitals.
I’d happily share more with any interested clients—we simply cannot recommend them enough!

I highly recommend this team! They are kind and down to earth. I knew my pup was safe with their team and they treated him well. This was really important for me! They help teach you (the human) what you need to do to maintain the training. They also have a community of graduates who get together a few times a month for socializing and additional training!
