The Cultured Canine

Me and my girlfriend dropped our 9 year old dog Luca off at a Cultured Canine, and he trained with Lucas for five weeks at the board and train. I can’t express how happy we are with the results of his training. Luca had severe separation anxiety. He was attached at our hip and would not leave our side ever. If he wasn’t with somebody, he would freak out, rip everything apart and has hurt himself several times during these moments of panic. I was worried about bringing him into any training because of his age. I didn’t know if it was too late, but I’m so glad we did it. He has a much better quality of life and now we have the tools to help manage his anxiety and it has been worlds better. Not only did it help his anxiety, but it helped us learn about our dog and really helps us bond with him because we can communicate so well now. Thank you so much to everybody on the team at the Cultured Canine.

Taking my dog to Cultured Canine for the 6 week board & train program was hands down the best decision I've ever made. My life has become so much easier since I dropped off my super reactive, loud, do-whatever-I-want dog, only to pick up a dog that actually listens to me and can go for a walk without barking & lunging at everything! Each day, I'm more and more impressed as my dog continues to acclimate at home, maintaining his new good habits. The positive change is remarkable – he's still the happy, loving dog I always knew, but now he listens, doesn’t pull while walking (actually walks RIGHT next to me which I never knew was possible for him), knows so many new commands, and is hardly ever reactive now! Lucas and the team were so helpful during the process, and the post-boarding training sessions have taught me so much! Of course as the owner you still have to work with and train your dog yourself when it’s back, but this has just made training much more easier, and dare I say, fun?! I enjoy training sessions with my dog now that he actually knows the basics and pays attention to me — I actually look forward to our walk sessions of us just going back and forth for half an hour on the same stretch of sidewalk, and can’t wait to graduate him to even longer walks. I’d give 10/5 stars if I could. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my dog could behave like this. I’m just so amazed by it all and so excited to see what the future holds for my dog and I now!

The training team at the Cultured Canine has reduced my stress level by properly training my Great Pyrenees/lab mix rescue dog. After the initial consultation it was explained to me that my dog has high levels of anxiety. She stayed with Lucas and his family for 4 weeks. The team kept in contact with weekly updates and homework assignments to prepare for my dog’s return home. When it was time for her to return Dave spent the afternoon with me and my son transitioning her back home. The team has a group text so you can ask questions and someone will get back to you every time! Every day I am grateful I made this decision. My dog is not a stressor in my life anymore.
