Great job training our Frenchie. Winston did 2 weeks board and train and he matured 2 years in 2 weeks.

Business response

Thanks so much for the great review, Carl! We're thrilled Winston's two-week board-and-train helped your Frenchie mature so much. It was a pleasure working with Winston and seeing such excellent progress. We're here if you need follow-up support or refresher sessions.

Stateline canine came highly recommended for German shepherd training. I decided to send him to both the basic and recall training classes. Gunner did great! I was so impressed with how much he learned in those two weeks. I also had 1-hour classes after each of the sessions learning the same training Gunner had so I could continue his training at home. When I expressed concern that Gunner hasn’t had good experiences being around other dogs, his trainer worked with him on socializing with a few of the other dogs.

Business response

Thank you so much, Carol, for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled Gunner did great in the basic and recall classes and that the 1-hour owner sessions gave you the tools to continue his training at home. Our trainers enjoyed working with him on socialization and appreciate you noticing his progress. Please reach out anytime if you’d like a refresher or additional support.

Great trainers. Clean and safe environment. I felt comfortable leaving my pup in their care. Captain Jack, was well treated and at the end of each training day, Jack was happy and at ease. His obedience training was the first step of his new adventures. Now he is on his way to be a Search and Rescue K9! Yes! A rescued pup abandoned and left to die, will now be able to help lost pets get back home to their worried families. Thanks to Stateline Canine obedience training for helping Jack grow and thrive!

Business response

Thank you, Andrés, for the kind words and for trusting us with Captain Jack. We're thrilled Jack felt comfortable and happy during training and honored to help a rescued pup begin his path to becoming a Search and Rescue K9. We're proud to have played a part in his transformation and excited for the lives he will help save. We are always here to provide follow-up support or advanced training as he continues his work.
