Chad is thorough in offering access to his many videos to view as needed for a particular issue. His in-person classes are calm and he is attentive to how each dog (and their person) is doing. We are currently in the Puppy Class... free for foster pups.

Our vet recommended Thriving Canine when we adopted our reactive dog, Ginger. She graduated from Basic Obedience Training this past month and we are very grateful for all the tips and tricks we learned, at an affordable price. Ginger is still reactive; however, is learning tools (as are we!) to manage it. We were so impressed, we've signed up for Basic Agility and Intermediate Obedience Training. We highly recommend Thriving Canine! Update! We're still thrilled with Thriving Canine! After graduating from Basic Agility and Intermediate Obedience, we went through Experienced Agility. Ginger's confidence grew the more we learned. We highly recommend Thriving Canine!
Chad does a great job, it`s a lot work but it`s a lot of fun to. Thanks Chad.
