Core Canine

I initially reviewed Core Canine poorly because of a communication issue -- but April reached out to me and swiftly fixed the issue! She was able to fit me in her busy schedule within days of us connecting, and our first at-home visit for my 4-year-old dog, Bowser, was wonderful. I tried a lot of training on my own with internet tips, and it helped develop some skills in my pup...but nothing compares to having a trainer THERE to meet your animal, see your interactions and offer specific feedback based on what's happening. I wasn't confident using online tips because I never knew for sure if what I was doing was right. April broke down a few very helpful tips for me, offering basic commands and exercises (mental AND physical) to help my over-excited boi. I found April to be very helpful and professional, and I was impressed that she even offered a free follow-up if her initial tips did not work out for Bowser. I recommend her services!

Core Canine and April, who specifically worked with my dog, were great! I booked a few months in advance because April books up quickly. She was easy to communicate with via email and text messaging. I believe the prices are very reasonable for the area. My dog, Pepper, is leash reactive so I booked a private training session. April came to our house for the afternoon and worked with us outside around the neighborhood. She modeled for me and let me practice the training techniques so I felt comfortable enough to continue them on my own with my dog. We use what April taught us every single time we go out on a walk. We are still working on leash reactivity, but have improved greatly thanks to April’s help and consistent practice. Definitely recommend Core Canine!
