FirstBarkCameron (Owner) is amazing. Training for our one year old rescue GSD has been great, more importantly I am more confident in my ability to handle him. Cameron is down to earth and honest. He gives clear directions and advice. We took the private sessions. Highly recommend his work.

I'm thrilled to share our exceptional experience with Blue Ridge Canine Academy's board and train program! Our dog Thor underwent a transformative journey with their expert guidance. Thor's obedience levels have reached new heights since his return home. His walking is impeccable, responding flawlessly to commands, and his recall is outstanding. The dedication and expertise of Blue Ridge Canine Academy truly shines through in Thor's remarkable progress. Without a doubt, I highly recommend their services to all dog owners seeking top-notch training.

Puppy Class Cameron leads a wonderful class which teaches basic commands, obedience and socialization. He uses humor and a little bit of psychology to help owners understand their pet and associated behaviors. Cameron makes sure pets and owners have fun in the process! We had a dog reactive dog at the beginning of the class who barked at all dogs but at the end of the class, he was playing happily with the other puppies! We cannot recommend Cameron and Blue Ridge Canine Academy highly enough!!

Board and Train We have a very high drive Czech working line German Shepherd and needed specialized training to be able to handle and support him properly. Cameron goes above and beyond in his training of dogs and owners to ensure success all the way around! I could not walk my dog without him pulling and exhausting me. After training, we can now walk him and it is very relaxing and enjoyable! Cameron makes training and working our dog fun. He also makes sure you are successful well after board and train ends. Cannot recommend Cameron and Blue Ridge Canine Academy highly enough!! We are so pleased with the outcome!

We've been working with Cameron with our Zoe and I am AMAZED of the progress I've seen! Here we were months ago desperate for help and now she is becoming a whole different dog. She now even goes on rides with me alone or with the kiddos and is doing fantastic! Working on obedience, commands, leash walking. I'm just SO happy with the results. I really can't believe what a difference and I'm so thankful! Thank you Cameron!!!
