This training facility is great- for beginners. If you are already in competitions, come here if…read moreyou want to only work on basic skills (which I did advanced beginner). They do not run the games. The trainers I had have not participated in CPE events, which is one of the more common agility trials in Michigan. Also, the behavior of one dog and how the owner handled that dog made me not want to return. I got to the point at one class I almost excused myself and my dog due to the treatment of the owner. As it is not the facility's fault or responsibility to control the dog, they should have excuses him and had him join another class such as an obedience class. To have him continue to come each week when the dog is over-active, disobedient, and the owner has to force the dog to the floor is unacceptable. The dog was screamed at, grabbed, and forced down to the ground. We al discipline our dogs differently, but this made me very uncomfortable. They were very nice trainers, but for me, I choose to go elsewhere.

I have always trained my own dogs, and they were all off-leash trained, responding to anything I…read moreasked. Back when I lived on a 40-acre ranch in Northern California, I had plenty of space and other dogs around to help with the process. When my wife and I were fostering dogs in Michigan, she fell in love with a Miniature Pinscher mix named Obi. He was different from any dog I'd trained before, and without other dogs to help with training, it was a challenge. We needed Obi to be able to travel the world with us and assist my wife with her PTSD. Within six weeks, Fred from The Dog Wizard trained us on how to make Obi an incredible companion. The transformation was night and day. Now, Obi walks calmly by our side unless given the 'free' command. He accompanies us to stores, ignoring everything and everyone around him. One of his biggest issues was reacting to other dogs on leash--no longer a problem! Recently, we visited a crowded cider mill with hundreds of kids running around. Obi stayed calmly by my feet, unaffected by the chaos. Kids asked to pet him, and I explained he was working. I can't say enough good things about Fred; he's like family now. What he did for us truly means the world to me."

From the week's prior conversation she proved to be incredibly present, knowledgeable, patient, kind, genuinely interested, concerned and compassionate. Michelle is direct and absolutely delightful while being so. She comes equipped with decades of study, dog ownership, experience, insight and tools. She is diligent and an amazing listener, does not price gouge and offers a variety of classes that both inspire and suit you and your pooch! She makes herself available and equips you with what you need both in support and material. I've been searching and hadn't yet found the proper fit and am relieved to say we now have! Thank you endlessly, Michelle! My words are falling short.

My dog loves going here, and it is the only place I trust with him. They don't nickel-and-dime you for every service you have done (like if your dog needs medication or has to have his paws wiped down at the end of the day) like so many other places. They play with the dogs, and when I pick up my dog, sometimes, he is not ready to leave as he loves playing with the other dogs in daycare. It's clean, friendly, and safe. Prices are very fair. And they require that all dogs be updated with shots and fecal. So if you are looking for a great place to board your dog where they will have a great time and you will not have to worry about them, Canine College is the place for them.

Bonnie is absolutely fantastic! She tailors her approach to each dog and its owner to ensure the two connect and communicate effectively with each other, which makes ALL the difference in training. I've taking a number of training courses with my dog and worked with various trainers, but this is the first time I've felt there's a fantastic balance between instructing the dog and instructing the human. Oftentimes a trainer excels in one and may lack in the other, but Bonnie and Alternative Canine Training excel at both, which helps owner and dog work better as a team. I highly recommend these courses and these trainers to anyone with a dog, no matter if it's a puppy ready to kick off obedience training or an adult dog that could use a brush up. And added bonus is that the class takes place in a pet store, which may be a little frustrating at first since there's a ton of distractions that your dog is working against, but stick with it and your dog will not only learn how to focus through all those distractions but obedience at home without them will be a cake walk. I highly recommend!

From day one, their balance of patience and firm guidance has made all the difference--not just for Dally, but for me as an owner. They truly understand the breed and know exactly when to be gentle and when to be direct. Dally responds so well to their training style, and for the first time, I feel like my dog is not just learning commands--He's thriving. His confidence, focus, and behavior have improved beyond what I hoped for. What I appreciate most is that Josh and Cassie don't just train the dog--they involve and educate the owner every step of the way. I feel empowered, not overwhelmed. If you're looking for dog trainers who are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate about what they do, I can't recommend Josh and Cassie enough. They've helped bring out the best in Dally, and I'm so grateful.

DAN MORRIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL DOG TRAINER!!…read more We have a 13 month doberman who had an obedience training at 5 months using treats but we were still not pleased with the training. So, we took him to Dan and he has been the best thing to happen to our dobbie. We absolutely love the training he has equipped us to train the dog with no treats or frills. Dan knows dog's psychology so well, he occurs to me as if he's a dog whisperer. He will give you feedback and corrections specific to your dog's behavior along with general commands and training useful to everyone and everyday. Our dog has definite set patterns and can be very stubborn. But as it goes theres no bad dog and only bad training. So, one has to be diligent enough to apply the learnings from the class everyday for the rest of the life of the dog. Been almost 4 weeks and my dogs has started responding exceptionally well. When we took our dobbie for the first time to Dan, I was in awe. It was as if magically Enzo was following everything Dan was asking him to. But here's thing, Dan makes the training look so easy but it's as much a training for you as for the dog. There's so many techniques to learn and apply. Dan has tons of wisdom to share and I absolutely adore Dan's humor. I so regret not getting him sooner to Dan. Nevertheless, it's never too late for anything, certainly not for training your dog right. Even post the classes, Dan is considerate enough to entertain any questions or concerns over the calls as we leave Michigan. Enzo with Dan Moris in the pictures here!
