FirstBarkEveryone was friendly and my dog was trained extremely well. So well that he stays on the property, never crosses the street, goes out, does his business and comes back to the door to come in. He's tried to run away. Excellent dog. Now I wish I had two dogs. The training allows our dog to go out without supervision. We just go out to clean up after him.

we had a very positive experience, our Dutch Shepherd responded extremely well to the obedience training, if i could remember her trainer name i’d mention her with Five stars alone she was amazing at her training. i’d recommend Stateline and i have recommended them to many friends in need of a training program.
Recently left my boy Baxter there for a two week board and train to take off his rough edges. They called on day three to keep me updated on his progress and all seems good. So far the facility seems fine and the folks that work there seem like fine upstanding dog lovers who want what's best for the dog and their human. I can't wait to get my well behaved buddy back home.
We were extremely happy with the services that we received with Stateline Canine! We had a significant dog aggression issue with our 1-year-old mixed breed rescue and the trainers and staff at Stateline were extremely helpful and supportive!
I have a very large 4 year old Black Lab named Midnight who needed training in all areas. As Midnight was being trained they kept in regular communication with me. All of my dealings with StateLine Canine were very professional from the first time we all met. Midnight looks forward to going there for boarding.
