Carolyn has been just wonderful with me and my pup, Aubrey. She helped me understand how to communicate better and understand Aubrey's language. Before, working with Carolyn at Developing Canine, walking with Aubrey ,who is a big dog, was a challenge. After training we are taking longer walks, they are relaxing for both of us, and we both are getting really comfortable with her being off leash. We have come a long way in such a short time with Carolyn's assistance. Thank you so much for your help Carolyn!! Aubrey and Teg

Carolyn at The Developing Canine is nothing short of amazing. My 2 dogs, lab/pit sisters started training at 6 months and there is already a world of difference just 2 months later. I highly recommend letting her keep your dog(s) at her house after the on leash program. She can train them so quickly with her years of experience, but my favorite thing about her is her kindness and love toward my doggies. She is tuff on them but also loving. She doesn’t put up with any nonsense from them, but loves them a lot. My dogs are so much more calm, and they know all of their commands. We have a long way to go since they started fighting each other in December, but Carolyn is helping me work towards being able to keep both dogs. I have hope they can be together, but at the very least they will both be well trained if one has to go live with my parents. If you recently adopted a dog, I can’t recommend Carolyn enough. This is a life long investment to get the best relationship with your dog, and it truly is the best thing you can give your pup!

I cannot put into words how much Carolyn and her program have changed our lives. From her foundations classes to her in-resident programs and her polishing classes, she is easily one of the best dog trainers I have ever dealt with. You truly get what you pay for with Carolyn. If you recently bought or adopted a dog, you absolutely need to start working with her to train them. We started with ours at 9 weeks, and could not have been more impressed with the results. The program is more about training you how to work with your dog. It also takes a significant amount of time and investment on your part, after the training is done. Carolyn also offers boarding. She will continue to work with your pet, and has offered us lessons when we pick our dog up.
