Minnesota Canine Consulting, LLC

If you are looking for a board & train for your dog, look no further. Minnesota Canine Consulting is the place to go! I couldn't be more impressed with Andy, Mike, Jeremy and all of the other trainers. Mike and I had a good few long phone calls months prior to sending my pup there. He was extremely responsive, kind and helpful. During the training, I inquired about a few issues I wanted to be sure that my pup was trained on. Mike and Andy sent a very detailed email on their training plans, both of them also called to discuss and explain. They sent me a video of my pup explaining what they were doing w him in the video. They take a video of all the dogs 1x/wk & post it on YouTube. Prior to training, my dog's bad manners were: paws up on counters stealing items & running off with them, going into the bathrooms stealing or chewing on tp roll, taking items off vanity or from my desk. He didn't even attempt doing any of this once for the first week I had him home, so I didn't even have to correct him. He tried 2x the 2nd week, gave him a correction & he dropped it right away. One time he seemed a little eager w my cat, gave him a correction, he walked away. During our walks he used to jump up mid walk, biting at leash, my sleeve or gloves. He hasn't done this at all since he's been home. He used to bark in my vehicle at oncoming traffic with every car going by. He barked 3 times in an hour car ride home from board and train, then hasn't done it again after correction. He heels much better, stays much better and longer, sits and waits at the door for the command to go in/out - his manners are much improved!! With continued work, I have full confidence in perfect stay/recall. He respects me now & I've gotten more kisses then usual. He even kisses the cat now on command & on his own vs chasing her🐕😽❤ Minnesota Canine Consulting has gone above and beyond in every sense of the word and I couldn't be happier with them. Thank you MCC for everything! You've helped make my life so much better living in harmony with my k9 & feline. I will be sending business your way, not just because you guys are all beyond amazing, but also because you guys are THAT good!!!

If you are looking for a place to bring your dog for training look no further. We brought our 1 year old German Shepard mix to Andy and the difference between when we brought him in to after is remarkable. Our dog now is trained off leash, heels at the first command and has completely changed his behavior all around for the better. We feel confident in going on walks again, having people over and bringing him new places. Andy and he team also take the time to train us as well, how we can continue the training at home as well and answers any questions in a simplified manner that anyone can understand. Could not recommend enough. 5/5 stars.

Andy and his team of trainers are so knowledgeable and great at what they do. They took our 7 month old German Shephard and within 4 weeks had her walking perfectly on a leash and doing commands like "sit" and "down". We get complements all the time on how well mannered she is! The video updates during the training were fun showing her progress along the way. I have already referred another friend to MN Canine Consulting!

I cant say enough about Andy and the team. We took Gemma, our 6 month old german shepard there for the 8 week boot camp. Before she went she was a handful, running crazy all over the house, jumping up on everyone, grabbing anything she could get her mouth on off the counters. I could barely walk her, she walked me mostly. We have my elderly mother staying with us so we had to keep her separate from her or she would have knocked her over. She is a completely different dog now that she is back home. She is walking really nice with me, she has not tried to get anything on the counters and is behaving very well with everyone, including my mother. She listens very well now. We are very happy with her, she seems so much calmer. Thank you so much Andy and all the trainers, your Awesome!❤
