We had our 5-month-old dog, Kevin, go through Stateline’s 6-week training program, and it was absolutely worth every penny. We dropped him off each morning and picked him up around 5 pm, and the results were incredible. Now, two years later, Kevin still has perfect, 100% reliable recall. He stays calm, holds his place when needed, and listens consistently. Most importantly, all of this training has been for Kevin’s safety, and it has given us total peace of mind. The staff was amazing, friendly, and clearly knows exactly what they’re doing. Truly talented people who care deeply about the dogs they work with. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or the long-term results. Highly recommend!

Business response

Andy, thank you so much for sharing your experience and for recommending us. We’re thrilled Kevin’s recall and manners have remained reliable two years later and that the training has given you peace of mind. Our team takes great pride in caring for each dog, and we’re glad their work made a lasting difference. It was a pleasure working with Kevin and your family.

Stateline canine is an amazing school for dogs. They are very attentive and they pay attention to what you want when it comes to your dog. This is the second school that I have boarded my dog in for training. The first school told me that I needed to put my dog down because he was dangerous and untrainable. I happen to stumble by Stateline canine and I gave them a call and they were great. I took my dog in he did the six week program and it was amazing. They did what the other school couldn’t do. I recommend them to everyone because they’re that good

Business response

Thank you, Tania. We’re so happy you found us and that the six-week program helped your dog after such a difficult experience. It means a lot that you trusted our team and that we could achieve results the other school could not. We appreciate your recommendation and are always here if you need further support or training.

We moved back to Pennsylvania from Florida. Bear became ultra protective of our home and of us. This was not his usual behavior and we were afraid he was going to bite someone. We enrolled Bear after spending a good amount of time with Ty who actually became his trainer. As hard as it was to leave him there I can’t say enough how this helped Bear. He came home calmer and teaching him to place was the best thing! While Bear was there (3 weeks!) Ty kept me up to date on his progress and sent pictures. I highly recommend Stateline Canine!

Business response

Thank you, Hazel — we’re so glad you trusted Stateline Canine with Bear and that Ty was able to help him become calmer and learn place. It’s wonderful to hear the updates and photos helped during those three weeks and that his behavior improved so much. We appreciate your recommendation and are here if you need anything in the future.

We brought our standard poodle to Stateline for 6 week day training. Best investment in our pup. We can take him with us almost everywhere we go, knowing that he has good manners. The off leash recall is amazing as well. Thank you Stateline!!

Business response

Donna, thank you for the wonderful review and for trusting Stateline with your standard poodle. We're thrilled the 6-week program gave you confidence to take him everywhere and that his off-leash recall is working so well. Our trainers will be delighted to hear your feedback. We look forward to helping you and your pup with any future refreshers or adventures.

Expert dog trainers. Highly recommend! My dog went from ignoring me, to complete readiness to listen to me. Simply outstanding for me, and for the dog as well.
