I had always wanted the big dog and no matter how much research I did it still can't prepare you for some things. My lovable torpedo was pulling my arm out of its socket when we went on walks and I was no longer in control, even though she was a good girl. I brought her to confident canines, and I am happy to say that we can now go to public locations without any issues

Mark, our trainer did a great job with our dog , Jaxon. We are very pleased with the results! Jaxon is more responsive to our commands. I know I have to keep working with him, but it is such an improvement with his behavior. I would highly recommend Confident Canines for your dog training.
Completely satisfied with the training. They answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease with our dog. Highly recommend them they are not only professional but they amazing people

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Confident Canines Academy and their amazing team — especially Michael and Camila. I have a Belgian Malinois, Misha, who was very reactive and aggressive around other dogs, especially small dogs. I was extremely worried because I also have a 13-year-old Mini Schnauzer, and my biggest fear was how I would ever be able to safely introduce them without risking an attack. Over the course of 6 weeks, Michael and Camila personally worked with Misha and helped train her step by step. They didn’t just train my dog — they trained me as well. Camila did a wonderful job guiding me through every session, walking me through our homework, correcting me when needed, and patiently answering all of my questions. Their hands-on help and clear structure made such a difference. Thanks to their training and support, Misha is truly like night and day. She is no longer reactive, and with Camila’s direct help during the introduction process, we were able to successfully and safely introduce her to my small dog. That moment meant everything to me. Having a reactive dog is incredibly stressful, but now I finally have peace of mind. They are professional, polite, responsive, and genuinely care about the dogs and their owners. It was such a positive and easy experience working with them. THANK YOU, Confident Canines Academy — we are beyond grateful!
