What an incredible experience. Hayley and the entire staff is absolutely incredible! They train and care for your dog as though they belong to them. The effort to teach and train is hands down the best we’ve seen. My husband and I have a 6 month old Silver Lab and the transformation is so incredible! We would recommend anyone trying to get their dog trained and to obey correctly to use these incredible people!! Thank you so much for everything!

If you’ve been going back and forth about whether to put your dog in training… this is your sign to do it!! I took my 5½ month old Morkie, Louis, in because he had extreme attachment to me. If I left the house he would bark nonstop the entire time I was gone. I couldn’t even leave the room without him freaking out. When I brought him for his intake, I didn’t plan on leaving him that day, but the moment I met the trainers and saw how much they cared, I knew he needed this and honestly I needed this too. The difference is incredible!! He’s so obedient now, walks nicely on leash, listens to commands, and even sleeps in his kennel at night without crying!! MAJOR improvement!! He can be away from me and not lose his mind, but he still has his same spunky personality! That’s because they tailor the training to your dog and what YOU want/need, not a one size fits all program, and they truly love your dog like their own! They also taught me how to handle any situation, whether it’s another dog or people who just want to pet, feed, or distract your dog. That’s huge for me because I have a pocket dog and needed to know how to navigate not just other dogs, but people too. And the best part?! I got pictures and videos all day, every day, so I never felt like I was missing out! As a first time dog owner (and someone without kids), this was the best decision I could’ve made. I’ve learned so much and now feel confident no matter where we go. If you’re hesitating, don’t be. Do it! You and your dog will both be better for it!

Our puppy Fancy was eight months old and boarded for three weeks while training at Advanced Canine Development, Elite Dog Training. We could not be any happier with the results. Hayley was Fancy’s primary trainer and did an awesome job! All the canines were well cared for at all times, the facility was clean, and well-staffed. Hayley did an amazing job with Fancy and communicated with us daily through texts and lots and lots of pictures. We feel like Fancy had a great trainer and we gained a new friend. Fancy and I have learned so much! They showed the canines and taught the humans. There were a few little things they wanted to see Fancy perform more fluidly before coming home so they kept her an additional 3-days at no charge to work on them …. who does that, right! We enjoy returning to the facility for group walks on Saturday’s and the life-long support that comes with training here. I honestly have no recommendations for change. Everything is well thought out, planned, and performed as it should be. I strongly recommend Mark and his staff to anyone looking for a safe, secure, and responsible facility to help your canine develop. R/S, David

My Golden spent a few weeks at Advanced Canine Development and came back a different dog! They worked with him on his bad habits and several other specific things I requested. The change in him is remarkable. It’s so pleasant to have Bentley in the house now that he has some manners! I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone needing some help with training their dog.
