Our Aussie Leo attended a board and train program at Cedar Valley Canine this summer and we could not have been more pleased with how the program was organized. I had great experience interacting with Dave and the instructor Perry and everyone else involved and it’s apparent they knew how to effectively train both Leo and his owners :). The Cedar Valley is located in a beautiful setting. Lastly want to point our the follow-up training session included in the board and train program which we appreciated.

We were recommended to Cedar Valley by a friend, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From scheduling to drop off, training to pick up, everything was perfect. Mike and Dave did a wonderful job training our German Shepherd, Frank. And made our job as his parents even easier. They really took their time explaining the process of training to my wife and I upon drop off and pick up, and genuinely care for each and every animal they’re given the opportunity to train. We’ll soon be dropping off our second pup and can’t wait to see the results. The training Cedar Valley provides allows the dog to remain a dog and keep their personality, while improving small behaviors that will make them the best dog on the block! They’re the best for a reason - you won’t be disappointed! Dave, Mike, and Cedar Valley Canine are the greatest!

It was great! Even know I knew there were tons of dogs in site, I didn't see any other dog than my own and the ones I was there to see. Dave's training is superb and there is really no comparison. I would recommend Cedar Valley Canine above any others, at any time! Thanks for all your help Dave

The BEST trainers in town!! They truly care for your dogs as if they are their own, and train the dog owners as well so you can have success at home. Ashley trained our dog and she is INCREDIBLE...Dave's team is the best in the business hands down.
