FirstBarkI have been bringing my Australian Shepard to Parker’s in canine since she was 8 weeks. Meg and Alex did basic puppy training with her got her very comfortable with her encouragement. After her puppy classes she’s been going back on fridays to spend time with other dogs; get some of the crazy out. Highly recommended

Meg and Alex are great. My dog has been attending daycare and training with them since last summer. He’s still a problem child but his behavior has come a long way and he truly looks forward to going to daycare each day.
partners in canine is a great place to bring your dog. alex and meg love the dogs and provide a well structured environment. i always feel confident and comfortable dropping my dog off. he comes home exhausted; it’s his favorite day of the week!

Meg & Alex have been amazing for our dog! We started working with them when Martha was a puppy, and they’ve helped train her (and us) ever since. It has helped her grow into an extremely well-behaved dog, especially with off-leash recall. We’ve also boarded Martha with Meg & Alex while we’ve been out of town, and she absolutely loves it. It’s such a relief knowing she’s staying with people we fully trust when we’re away.
