canine perspective is one of the *only* places i trust my babies with! i’m not a dog expert at all, but i have handled/worked with dogs for a handful of years as a dog walker & at a dog daycare. and after working at a dog daycare myself, i was entirely against even bringing my first dog to work with me after the first few times. he hated it, and i hated it. again, i know the bare minimum when it comes to handling dogs and i can confidently say i was the most knowledgeable person there- and most times it was just me alone trying to manage a room full of overstimulated dogs. there was no structure, just a lot of me scurrying trying to stop fights, comfort stressed pups, & then me trying not cry at the end of each shift from also being overstimulated lol. after that experience, i wasn’t interested in trying any daycare, and was put off by most training programs & trainers from seeing what was offered at the prior place i worked —until i found canine perspective! i had the absolute pleasure of training my first baby mulder with jesse. mulder had mild reactivity but what i really wanted was the off leash skills. this is what brought me to canine perspective, and of course we just couldn’t not take advantage of all that they had to offer after that! it was the greatest thing to be able to let my sighthound run to his hearts content, chase squirrels, and just explore the world all knowing he was safe with a bomb proof recall. and on top of that, his reactivity was *poof* gone! it was like we were able to communicate on a different wavelength after training, and we could just go on adventures knowing i had his back and he didn’t have to worry about other dogs, and he would deal with those pesky squirrels and rabbits. but besides the amazing services, the people that make up this place are some of the most wonderful people. words cannot express how grateful, thankful, and indebted i am to them for all they have done for my boy mulder, ocho, and now luci <3 ..canine perspective is a magnificent pack to be a part of, you & your furbaby will love it.

We’ve just started with Canine Perspective but we are over the moon happy so far. Our 5 month old Newfie mix has been doing daycare and train and he’s advanced wonderfully. We’ll be doing a 2 week board and train with him as well. Our 10 y/o Labradoodle has been doing daycare and they do an amazing job with our senior dog. He’ll be boarding there while our pup is training. Jesse and Elizabeth are amazing!

To say that Jessie changed our life for the better is an understatement. Our rescue misrepresented our dog’s issues and simply told us to medicate her to deal with her aggression and refusal to walk outside. We noticed a HUGE difference after the first (admittedly hard) session. We did the six session pack and can say that we truly have a different dog. She is happier having rules and discipline and is happy to see her e collar! I love that we have access to Jessie’s expert advice should we need it and the ability to look back at our sessions should we need a refresh. 100% worth the investment for those, who like us, didn’t want to dope up their dog in order to trust them inside and outside the house.

Jesse is a true professional. My wife and I have been dealing with behavioral issues with our dog, Jimmy, for years. We have tried several different training methods with little to no success. After a couple training sessions with Jesse, Jimmy has had made drastic improvements. We look forward to continuing to work with Jesse and watching Jimmy improve overtime. We highly recommend Jesse!

So pleased with their training methods, my Akita Kuma is so much easier to handle and he seemed to have had a great time while there! The staff is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, i was comfortable leaving Kuma for his one week board and train and will absolutely be continuing his training/future boardings with this facility! The video summary and follow up appointments have been super helpful to understand their handling methods. Thank you, Canine Perspective!
