We recently rescued a 1 year old male chihuahua mix that we fell in love with. We knew when we rescued him that he was not potty trained, but realized he had other issues including reactivity with other dogs and people, that were way above our ability to overcome. We cannot thank the ACD team enough for their patience, communication and peace of mind in training us and our little guy, Mo. Emily, Hayley, Ali and Mark collectively sent us daily photos, videos and updates of Mo and his progress. They worked with us and Mo at length to help us understand his behavior and how we could correct it. They coordinate weekly dog walks at local parks with current dogs in training and graduates are invited to come along as well. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!

Thank you to Advance Canine Development from the bottom of our hearts. Mason our 3 year old Sheltie would bark, chase, pull constantly on his leash and do every thing else except listen to us! After three weeks of training (for both Mason and us), we can now walk with others (people and dogs) calmly. We have learned how to monitor his actions and keep him calm-which keeps us calm. He now comes when called, stays beside us when walking or just sitting or laying down when resting. And with help from ACD he can ride in the car without constant crying or trying to jump over the seats.
We received daily videos and pictures of his training and even of his time playing! We had one on one training to know what to do when we brought him home.
All staff are friendly and outgoing you can tell they enjoy being with the dogs. They continue to answer questions now that we are home and we can continue to join them at the Market walks to reinforce Mason and our training.
We are so excited about the new Mason and have so much faith in ACD we will be bringing our other Sheltie in for training. They rate a 10 out of 10!

Our golden retriever, Rosie, was pretty rowdy, disobedient and destructive before going to Advanced Canine Development. She spent three weeks there and is much better behaved. She learned many commands. She is still a puppy and does puppy stuff but she follows commands to correct bad behavior.

We found the entire staff to be very helpful and supportive. Jezebel was handled professionally and we were also. We will have no problem recommending your group to anyone. Thank you for helping us with Jez.

Excellent training! Our wild child is still pretty spunky but she can by your side through a crowd without distractions! Ali is a great trainer! Not only the dog but her humans as well! Worth the extra money!
