There are not enough wonderful things to say about Olivia and April at Core Canine. I completed puppy kindergarden with Olivia and was amazed at how thorough, patient, knowledgable, and dedicated she was to teaching us how to raise well behaved dogs.These ladies have infinite knowledge and go above and beyond to make each class special and impactful. The class sizes are small the we were provided with lots of equipment (ex. long leash, a bed, toys, etc.) to use during class to make the training effective. You will absolutely love coming to class and working with these ladies.
My poodle did the puppy play classes for a month, which were FREE. Now she is over 4 months so we have graduated. It was a great experience with a great pet trainer - the least I could do is leave this review. Thanks Core Canine!
Amazing! Great price. Great lessons. Perfect for entry puppy training or more advance work.

Love Core Canine! I’m a new puppy owner and have gone to core Canine for middle school classes and puppy socials with April and signed up for at home training with Olivia and it’s been amazing! They taught Ollie how to settle, greet humans, tips on when guests come over, how to not resource guard, and so much more! I had a bad experience with another dog daycare/training facility. April and Olivia were awesome and wiped away all the fear I had. Ollie loves all the classes and the individual training sessions! I’ve already booked more :)! Don’t make the same mistake as I did - start with Core Canine!!
