Einstein's Canine College

Where do I begin! Julie is a wealth of knowledge when I comes to dog’s behavior and what makes them do what they do! She has changed my relationship between my dog and I FURever! I cannot recommend bringing your dog to Einstein’s whether it’s for getting started with your new puppy, frustrated with your current dog, or just learning something new. Einstein’s is the place to go! Look no further! 10/10

3 months ago, we adopted an 8yo neutered Jack Russell to be a companion for our 10yo spayed Jack Russell female. They got along beautifully, playing, cuddling, always happy to see one another, until the 2 1/2 month mark. Since, they have had 2 unwitnessed fights with puncture wounds & injuries; more so, for our female. This occurring after we completed/graduated from an 8 week, one hour a week, basic obedience program for our new boy, where the trainer came into our home environment for our sessions. From day 1 of adoption to today, 3 months later, we still have never witnessed any types of resource guarding with toys, food, treats, attention, etc. My husband and I have been able to recognize a few triggers- mostly seen with over-excitement with our female barking at the front door, and their hunting/prey drive together in our backyard. Knowing how attached and bonded we have ALL become to our new boy, none of us can fathom having to return him to the rescue he came from. After putting in TONS of time, dedication, work, and spending so much money on training, vet bills, medicines, we didn’t know how else to make our new family unit successful. I contacted the head of a well known Jack Russell rescue who highly recommended I reach out to, “Einstein Canine College,” who has previously and successfully helped her with difficult cases. After, sending a very detailed email to Einstein’s, I got a call that same day, from one of their trainers, “Samantha Stevens” who not only provided a plethora of new ideas, tips, and tricks I had not yet implemented, but also provided the reassurance, guidance, encouragement, and support we so desperately had been searching for! I plan to implement ALL her ideas and our family continues to pray we will be successful so our home environment will once again, become the fun, pup loving, and happy tails house. As well, we continue to pray our 2 pups will get along again, but until then, safety remains our #1 priority for us and our animals. Thanks to Sam, we now have more tools in our box to help us implement a loving and happy home! We don’t live in North Carolina, but it didn’t matter to Sam. She so graciously and compassionately reached out and spent her own quality time to help our family, and we honestly, couldn’t be more grateful to her and to Einstein’s Canine College! We give her a MILLION STAR REVIEW!!!

I've now trained 2 dogs at Einstein's, 3 years apart and love them! They have the perfect balance between positive reinforcement and proper correction techniques, which I like. They're super attentive and happy to help with any questions/concerns, whether it's a behavior we're addressing in class or something random and specific to my dog. I also love the variety in classes - Obedience, Scent Works, Tricks, pack walks etc. There's something for everyone and they encourage you to keep working on your skills well past finishing your "formal" class dates.
