Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

What can a dog trainer help with?

A dog trainer can help you control your dog's behavior, communicate effectively with your dog, and build your dog's confidence. This can reduce dog reactivity and symptoms of separation anxiety, as well as reducing unwanted behavior. Many dog trainers use basic obedience methods - that means teaching the dog a small set of commands to help them know exactly what to do. A good trainer will also help you to become a confident dog handler. That means you'll learn how to use those commands together to navigate your dog through any situation. To make sure you reap all of the benefits of professional dog training, make sure your trainer has experience with your dog's breed and temperament, and that your trainer uses positive reinforcement training. Also, it's critical to ask your trainer how they will prepare you to be a better dog owner.

Question on Google
Is it OK to send your dog away for training?

While it's natural and expected for both dogs and their humans to miss each other while apart, sending your dog away for training can have some very positive benefits for you dog. The distance from your dog during their training can be a big boost to their confidence, which has shown to improve their socialization skills and could even help with dogs who exhibit separation anxiety. It's important that you find a dog trainer who offers the atmosphere and enrichment that makes your dog's time away from home a positive experience with lasting benefits. Canine Academy's lush 7-acre campus and Customer Commitment towards the health, safety and well-being of your dog can help you rest easy, knowing that while your dog is learning the basics of their training program they're being spoiled around the clock by the most dedicated, dog-loving staff around.

We will not board our dog anywhere else—we live downtown and it is well worth the extra drive time to bring our dog here. We get multiple photos per day of her on walks, playing with other dogs, and looking happy which we appreciate so much! Canine Academy goes above and beyond to make sure she’s well taken care of. We also love that she has plenty of room to sleep and isn’t crammed into a crate—we know she’s comfortable! The team is always reachable, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. Cannot say enough good things and highly recommend!!!

Cannot say enough good things about Canine Academy! Worth. Every. Penny! My only regret is that we should have done it sooner! Shannon has been beyond fabulous and proved that our high energy 4-year old dog is/was trainable. Night and day difference and we couldn’t be happier. If you are thinking about Canine Academy, just do it-you will be so glad you did!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Alex! He worked with my 10-month-old German Shepherd, Oso—an incredibly high-energy, prey-driven pup with very little impulse control.

I can’t say enough good things about Alex! He worked with my 10-month-old German Shepherd, Oso—an incredibly high-energy, prey-driven pup with very little impulse control. From the moment Oso met Alex, it was love at first sight, and after just 7 days in the Board and Train program, he came home a noticeably calmer, more focused dog. One of the biggest improvements (and worth the price alone!) is Oso's ability to stay in position until I give a release command. He no longer jumps up on counters or bolts after distractions. The off command Alex taught Oso works like a charm in so many situations. I’m beyond impressed. I’ll admit I was a little nervous trusting someone with my boy for over a week, but Alex and the Care Team went above and beyond. Their daily updates with pictures and videos completely put my mind at ease. Yes, it was an investment—but one in Oso’s future. With Alex’s ongoing support and guidance as I continue to work with Oso, I’m confident Oso will continue growing into a well-mannered, happy doggy citizen. I’m so pleased with the results that I’m already planning to enroll my 5-month-old Golden Retriever in the program with Alex once she’s ready!

The trainers at Canine Academy, Alex and Jacey, worked wonders with our dog, Tommy Boy! Tommy is a 5-year-old, very strong American Bully, and I never thought I’d be able to take him for a walk. My husband was the only one who could walk him, but he had his hands full. Tommy would often get reactive towards other dogs, dragging my husband down the street and even causing him to trip a few times. After Alex and Jacey worked with Tommy, the transformation has been incredible. He is now a true gentleman on walks—no longer pulling on the leash—and his reactivity has improved tremendously. Tommy listens to all commands and behaves so much better. We're beyond grateful for the progress they helped Tommy achieve!
