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.

Canine Academy provided excellent training for my dog and to us, the owners! Our trainer, Shannon, provided simple instruction and was available for follow-up questions when needed. The program is very easy to follow and has great results. My dog generally has a lot of nervous energy and, though that hasn't gone away, the CA training program taught us how to deal with it. We just had 20 people at our house for Thanksgiving, and my dog was an angel, thanks to her training. The owners and staff are warm and friendly, too. Recommend!

Alex, our trainer has been over the top amazing with training our anxious boy Brutus. From Fearing his crate with the most horrendous barks and scratches, to now absolutely loving his crate without a peep is just one of the many things that Alex has done to help with Brutus’ separation anxiety. In addition to all of this, he explained to me how separation anxiety works, as well as how we tackle the problem as a whole with basic obedience training to build confidence so the dog understands and feels secure within themselves. Highly recommend Canine Academy, and more so Alex as your trainer!!!

Just What We Needed! The Positive E-Collar training methodology that Canine Academy teaches is such a powerful tool for communicating with your dog. With the guidance from the training staff, we have been able to quickly and effectively get a handle on a bad situation. With all of the choices of training opportunities locally and online, we feel fortunate to have chosen the Canine Academy. They won us over from the beginning because of the teaching methodology, the welcoming atmosphere from the staff, the beautiful facility, and the availability of a variety of training programs offered. We enrolled two of our dogs in a group class taught by Alex. He was really supportive and patient teaching us how to successfully train our dogs using the methodology. We really appreciated the help Alex and his co-worker Kayla gave us. With their help, the dogs learned that they do have to listen to us! Thank you Canine Academy for your incredible help. We look forward to continuing our training with the weekly graduate class. We are learning so much from Emma and love being part of the graduate class dog community.

Our dog’s behavior changed dramatically for the better. We are now able to take him outside and even let him lose on open spaces for him to run without fear that he will bark at other dogs or run after them. It has been a game changer. Our dog is 6 and he still learned very quickly after just 10 days. Highly recommended.
