We had to write to HIGHLY RECOMMEND the great Reactive Dog classes! Owen really got a lot from them - as did we! - and he'll be coming back for DOCTORS classes later in the summer.

Kirsten is the absolute reason that I continue training at Canines at Training. Her expertise in dog training is truly remarkable. She has an exceptional talent for reading dogs and adeptly navigating through challenging scenarios with ease and compassion.
