WHAT-A-CANINE LLC

What an amazing experience! My 2-yr-old rescue had many issues. She had separation anxiety, severe aggression with new people and stayed in a constant state of stress and anxiety. My vet recommended Anthony, owner of WHAT-A-CANINE, and what a blessing he was. He trained ME and my dog, and after just four sessions, our world was transformed into order, peace and fun. HIs scientific knowledge of dog behavior, military background and dedication to his clients provides quick and unbelievable results. I can't recommend him more. If you need help with your dog's behavior, don't hesitate to hire him. Your relationship with your dog will change forever

I must praise Anthony, the exceptional trainer at What-A-Canine. Our journey began with Missy, our sixteen-month-old pup, being unruly during walks—lunging and showing leash aggression towards people, dogs, and cars. After just one in-home session, Missy's behavior on walks transformed completely. I was genuinely amazed. Impressed by the results, I chose What-A-Canine's "Board and Train" package. After returning home, I noticed newfound confidence in Missy. Her response to basic commands was instantaneous. Anthony taught me how to communicate effectively with Missy and use the appropriate amount of praise to encourage her obedience. Yes, there is such a thing as too much praise. All without using clickers or treats! Completing a four-package training session became essential due to my upcoming orthopedic surgery. I worried that Missy, now 19 months old, might inadvertently trip me at home. Anthony took Missy and my training to the next level. Utilizing dog-friendly stores and public spaces, he taught Missy (and me) how to heel with me in a wheelchair, using a walker, and walking with crutches. Amidst new noises, strangers, and dogs, each training phase built upon the last, all under Anthony's expert guidance. Missy's confidence and maturity grew significantly. I felt assured that my energetic furry companion wouldn't cause any accidents post-surgery. And she didn't. When I used a wheelchair, she remained by my side, matching my pace. With crutches, she stayed behind me, stopping when I did. Her impeccable behavior made her an ideal recovery companion. I am sincerely thankful to Anthony for his expertise. This training significantly reduced stress during my recovery around an energetic dog. I wholeheartedly recommend What-A-Canine's services, especially for those with temporary or permanent disabilities. But honestly, for anyone seeking a well-behaved and balanced forever furry friend.

I can't say enough about how Awesome Anthony is! He's so patient, informative, and isn't shy to give his secrets when it comes to training our boy "Ruger!" Ruger is a full blooded, bull nosed, stubborn, but an extremely sweet Bloodhound. Anthony explained everything, every step of the way. Our sessions with him are very evident and we can't wait to get into some advanced tracking and trailing from What-A-Canine. Thanks again, for now, for helping us learn how to control Ruger. It's made a world of a difference for our family
