The Developing Canine Behavior and Training

We adopted our pup in March of 2023 from her previous owner. We were warned that she was fence reactive and she had never been on leash before. We quickly realized we needed help when she constantly pulled while on leash, was very reactive to other animals while on leash, and had a very strong and high prey drive. We started the on-leash training with Carolyn at The Developing Canine Behavior and Training in May of 2023. With such great success with the on-leash training we moved to the off-leash training in August of 2023. She has blossomed into a confident and well mannered pup. She listens extremely well and is more neutral than reactive. We continue to work with our pup daily as it is a work in progress. We couldn't have gotten where we are now with out Carolyn's guidance and expertise! She always answer questions that come up even after our sessions were over. She offers group dog walks that have been instrumental with training. We cannot thank Carolyn enough for her care, direction, and knowledge. We cannot recommend her enough! 100/10!! *P.S. I have included a couple of pictures of our pup listening to commands in high-stress areas.

The Developing Canine is an outstanding dog training facility, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results I achieved with my Australian shepherd. Carolyn, the owner and head trainer, is a true dog whisperer who seems to have an innate understanding of how dogs think and communicate. From the moment we walked in the door, Carolyn made us feel welcome and at ease. She took the time to get to know my dog and me, and she quickly developed a personalized training plan that took into account my dog's unique needs and personality. She also factored in the fact that I am a first time dog owner. I could see how great she was when I noticed how well trained her dog - back then - sunshine was. Throughout our training sessions, Carolyn was patient, kind, and encouraging. She used positive reinforcement techniques to teach my dog new behaviors and skills, and she was always willing to answer any questions I had and provide me with helpful tips and advice. Thanks to Carolyn's expert guidance and instruction, my dog made significant progress in a short amount of time. He is now more obedient, well-behaved, and responsive to my commands than ever before. I would highly recommend The Developing Canine to anyone looking for top-notch dog training services. Carolyn is truly a master of her craft!
