FirstBarkWe couldn't be happier with the services and environment provided by Partners in Canine. In the beginning we had a 12 week old rescue (Zelda) and initiated her in their puppy training program. Through in house and on site training sessions with us, along with other programs to follow, we raised our baby girl into a certified princess. Thank you Meghan and Alex & all the best!

I cannot say enough about how much we love Partners in Canine! We used another local dog training/daycare business for over a year with minimal changes and a dog that came home very hyper every time she was there for training. Turns out she was getting a lot of crate time. Now she comes home exhausted and happy, is so excited to go in the morning and her behavior and skills have improved dramatically! 10/10!!
We couldn’t be more happy with the care and attention our dog Howie gets at Partners in Canine. He looks forward to going to see Meghan and Alex, the owners, and to playing with his dog pals. I just have to say “want to go to school?” In the morning and he heads to the car…sometimes not taking the time to say goodbye to Mom.
Meg and Alex are the best!! The training programs, daycamp and boarding are fantastic – my boy gets so excited pulling into the parking lot, and comes home happy and tired! The facilities are clean and spacious, definitely a fun environment for all dogs ☺️ I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for quality training and care. They go above and beyond, and truly care about the dogs!
We can not be more impressed with Meg and her staff with Ollie in their puppy 101 program. We noticed a change in his behavior after week 1 and we are so happy to continue with the next journey in the partners program and on. Thank you so much
