Canine Karma

We LOVE Canine Karma! We had previously taken our dog to an AKC Star class in Monroe and to say it didn't go well would be an understatement. There were 12 dogs crammed into half a gym and it was way too over stimulating for our golden retriever puppy. There were puppies everywhere, people everywhere and when we asked for help with leash walking the instructor told us that our dog would never be a therapy dog so she didn't need to learn to walk on a leash. We were very discouraged and didnt know what to do, but thankfully a friend recommended Canine Karma. Canine Karma keeps class sizes small, utilizes only positive training methods, they explain the rationale behind everything that they teach and have given us back the hope that was stripped from us in that first class in Monroe. We got more from one class at Canine Karma than in 6 weeks at the Monroe class. In the first STAR Puppy class at Canine Karma we learned not only obedience skills such as sit, paws up, get on, get off, and touch but we also learned some fun games to keep our puppy engaged throughout the class and to help us regain her attention if we are in busy environments where she is more interested in other people or dogs than us. Canine Karma has exceeded our expectations and we are looking forward to continuing on with them in the Shorty Class and Building the Bond classes this summer. We are loving the positive relationship that we are developing with our dog through the skills taught at Canine Karma. Thank you!!

Four years ago, we adopted a shelter pup who was very nervous around other dogs. We shopped and tried a couple trainers and were frustrated. A friend at LC4 recommended us to Canine Karma. Tina worked wonders with our Maggie. She first provided solo instruction to build Maggie's confidence. She also trained us as the parents to be observant of our dog's queues. She then introduced a single dog and then multiple dogs into the training, while never rushing our pup. We were very pleased with the progress made by Maggie. More recently, we are volunteers at Friends of Lucas County Dogs and participate in the Rescue University program at Canine Karma. Volunteers bring dogs from the county shelter to CK for fun and good behavior training with Tina, Bryn, and Marina. The results have been fantastic as CK has helped many dogs better prepare for adoption. We highly recommend Canine Karma.

I can NOT recommend this place enough!! We have 2 Labraheelers that have gone through 3 courses so far and enjoyed every bit of it. The team members we’ve worked with, Bryn, Tina and Dani, are all amazing! They are great with dogs and people. Canine Karma has taught me how to better understand my pups & the best way to get positive results while building a bond with them. The wonderful team there has given me the tools to succeed with training my pups and I can’t thank them enough.
