FirstBarkNo ones better than Dave and his team. If you want your dog to be top level of obedience and command following, this is the place, and the best part was my dog was excited to be there because they care and love what they do.

Dave and his team are the best in the business. A great breeding program combined with a fantastic group of knowledgeable trainers. We had our boxer trained here and purchased a beautiful German Shepherd from CVC. I get compliments on how well behaved my dogs are when I’m out in public with them. I tell them that I can’t take credit for that, it was all Cedar Valley Canine! Train your dog here and you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely think the world of Dave and his Family at Cedar Valley Canine. His dog saved my life from a home invasion of 3 men while I was home alone. I thank god for him every day. Very sound protection dogs. They are well trained and know the difference between friends and foes. Cedar Valley Canine teaches us how to be better handlers. This education is very important for us to understand what our dogs are alerting us to. There is so many wonderful things about this place. My husband trained certified Police K9s for years and we love a good sound dog that does their job.
Great dog trainer and great dogs. Have 2 of his dogs, personalities are unmatched. Hard to find top quality protection dogs that also are amazing family dogs (with 3 toddlers) and these dogs fit the bill 100 percent.

We have purchased 2 GSDs two yrs apart & had Dave train them both. Our Sadie girl was 5 yrs old when we lost her due to an accident last Nov. Our male, Capone, was the most amazing GSD & we lost him at 2 yrs old due to an accident while building our home and he tried to bite a trailer tire while it was leaving. Dave & his team also trained both our babies and they were fantastic, protective & listened. Both dogs had excellent breeding & no issues getting papers. Our vet also gets her GSDs from Cedar Valley. They were impeccably healthy. We are debating on getting another GSD & it will be from Dave again too! Highly recommend Dave & his team at Cedar Valley! Here are some pictures of our beautiful babies.
