Canine University

We rescued a 2 yr old extremely reactive dog that we weren’t sure we would be able to keep. Gerilyn gave us the tools and support to make him a lovable and gentle part of the family! She was extremely responsive to our needs and problems. It did take time to see progress but we are so happy with the results after months of hard work. If you’re willing to learn from Gerilyn and work with your dog you will see results!!

Once you get past the warehouse location, you'll quickly be surprised by how knowledgeable and tuned-in the people at Canine University really are. They can read your dog almost instantaneously, in a way that I imagine only comes with decades of experience. More importantly to my specific situation, I was very frustrated with the slow progress of my new puppy, and Canine University was accommodating, more flexible, and more supportive to me than they had to be, to try to get me restarted in classes with more success on the second go. Their daycare is also a cut above the rest, with a individually tailored curriculum of small group play to keep your doc not just exercised and safe, but also to build the dog's socialization and behavior skills through structured activities. Highly recommended.

We are really enjoying our time in Canine University, taking our newly adopted 2 year old dog for some beginner obedience lessons. Most of the dogs in class are closer to puppies, but they welcome and accommodate all types. The class leaders are very friendly and know a lot about how to get the best from your dog. They're also very willing to answer any questions you might have, whether related to the lesson or not. The classes take place in a sort of small warehouse room with a concrete floor, with chairs and floor mats provided along the edges. Lessons are taught from the center of the room so everyone can see and work along at their own pace. It's been a great experience and we've learned a lot about how to properly encourage good behavior with positive reinforcement, while also withholding reward (not punishing) when things go wrong. Highly recommended if you're looking for a nice, small and friendly dog training school.

We are in class #4 and can not say enough good things! It's a nice pace .....and you start wherever your dog is. There is structure and affection built into each class and the class size is easily manageable by the 2 fabulous ladies! Treats and clicking really do compliment each other and our 1 year old boxer is learning every day! From the moment we walked in.....we could see the descriptions on the website matched what we were seeing.......and we were sold!
