We are THRILLED with the results of the two week training program. We have a year and a half old german shepherd female and she had terrible problems with reactivity and jumping and leash pulling. Now she is like a completely different dog, she takes commands like a champ and I no longer have to worry about her lunging at other people and dogs! Highly recommend Canine Solutions to anyone who has a dog with behavioral issues. And Dawn was a DREAM during the whole experience, she sent me several videos of her progress throughout the two weeks and took excellent care of our dog.

We took our two large dogs to Dawn. Before they went, they were a mess walking. After, they are a dream to walk. They understand commands such as “leave it,” which is very helpful when they want to get into things they shouldn’t. They’re also easy to put away in the mornings when we leave bc they understand “go to your spot.” I highly recommend Canine Solutions. We used Dawn based on word of mount from family and friends and it was a great experience!

Our 4-year old cocker spaniel just finished 2 weeks of “school” at Canine Solutions. Prior to working with Dawn, he greeted everyone by jumping on them, pulled terribly on the leash during walks, and did not have a lot of interaction with other dogs. What a difference 2-weeks makes! I was stunned that he did not jump on us when we were reunited after 2-weeks. He obeys the sit, stay, come, and leave it commands. We will continue to work with him to re-enforce everything he learned at Canine Solutions. Upon meeting Dawn, it is very apparent that dog training is her calling! She’s a natural. Thank you Dawn!!!! 🐶

Kingsford is a 1.5 year old Labrador that is big, strong and minimal body awareness. I took him to Dawn for the two week training session. I’m truly amazed at the transformation. He has mellowed out, he sits and stays, goes to his spot until he is called and doesn’t pull while on the lead anymore!! There were several other corrections that Dawn did as well that will make life with this young loving Lab so much more enjoyable. I cannot say enough about the work that Dawn has done!! I highly recommend Canine Solutions.
