About Canine Karma Dog Training

Canine Karma Training is THE original "Relationship-Based Dog Training" program. We have a truly unique approach, as our program is focused on the relationship between the dog and owner, because relationship is everything. "Relationship dictates behavior and obedience, not repetition." Whether or not your dog listens to you or behaves for you is purely based on the relationship you have with them. You don't get an "obedient" dog from endless hours of working on basic commands (sit, down, come). We focus on educating our clients in order to create a much more knowledgable and capable owner. The relationship we build for you results in: a dramatically easier, well-behaved, and obedient dog, that you'll enjoy for the rest of their life.

The lifetime commitment to your dog is just a bonus. The day in day out work and dedication that was put into my very stubborn dog Leo was first class. I highly recommend Canine Karma because they have a wealth of knowledge and are very easy to talk to and will walk you through every step of your pets training journey. It’s remarkable the difference I see in 30 days time. Totally worth it. I have a completely new dog.

Raylan completed a 45 day board and train about a month ago and Raylan (Belgian Malinois) is continuing to grow stronger, confident and more intelligent everyday. The foundations Canine Karma provided were and are paramount to my dog's continuous development. Understanding how to better communicate with my dog has definitely increased our potential and have made our lives easier. I am thoroughly satisfied with the instruction and direction Canine Karma has provided me and my dog. Raylan received the best attention and care, and then some. Raylan experienced a swollen gland in his neck which must have started before I dropped him off. It was brought to my attention by the Canine Karma staff. They took Raylan to the vet, got the meds he needed so he could continue training. After the board and train was completed and I took Raylan home, the continuous communication, training adjustments and suggestions were/are excellent. These trainers are amazing. Highly recommend!

Our 7 year old pit was reactive and over protective. We used their boarding with training. Within 30 days, he has transformed. We took their methodology and advice for my two other dogs. We immediately saw improved behavior and it has made our lives easier.

We cannot recommend Canine Karma enough! When we got our puppy, Hamilton, he became reactive and got worse as time went on. Walks were horrible and the worst part of my day. He was stubborn, disrespectful and a horrible listener. We decided to do the 30-day board and train at Canine Karma. They were the only training program that actually spoke with us on the phone about our dog and his needs. You could tell right away they deeply care about dogs. During the program we received regular updates with pictures and videos, which calmed our nerves and made us feel like he was safe and in great hands. When we picked up Hamilton, we could tell how much he loved everyone and his time at Canine Karma. He is now so eager to learn and grow, and does not give us a hard time. He respects us and others. We love every moment with him and no longer dread outings. Isabela and David are extremely knowledgeable, constantly giving constructive feedback, and are all around excellent trainers! The feedback and advice they give is vital, and does not end when you bring your dog home! I highly recommend Canine Karma and wish we started with them sooner!

I want to give the world of praise to David, Isabela, Kaitlyn, & Layla, who trained and cared for my dog Marco like he was family. Marco went to training for a month, he came home less anxious, with a puppy-like joy that had dwindled with stress. Now my dog acts more stable, calm and confident. Marco is very chuffed with himself when he hits his commands & I think this is perhaps the best investment I've ever made in his development. It was really scary for me to trust others when it came to my dog but, Canine Karma is run by a family that truly loves what they do and they put Marco's emotional wellbeing and health above all else! I am beyond grateful for the updates they gave throughout Marco's training & also, the continued check-ins and availability they continue to provide today. If you're looking for trainers that treat your furry friend like it was their own, look no further! Canine Karma has been a blessing for our entire family
