I've been taking my dogs to Home Away From Home, Grants Pass, for over five years for training and…read morefor both day care and overnight pet sitting for vacation trips when I couldn't take them. This facility is the best - clean, great personnel, personal time for my dogs spending the night, and happy, well loved dogs upon my return from extended vacations as well as day care and training. I know how well they were treated because they have always been excited to go back!! The training experiences really helped me train my pit bull puppy to become a great canine citizen who could go anywhere I went. I adopted a special needs bully who has spent the night(s) there several times, and he loves going there. I appreciate the love and attention the personnel give him and professional attitude that all the employees have as well. I would rate my experiences there as excellent.

We started working with Gueseppe in December of 2025 after our almost 2 year old Aussie, Jett had…read moreseveral instances of almost backing out of her harness and into traffic while walking downtown. She was also very uneasy during all of her walks and endlessly scanned her entire surroundings. It was physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us. The phone consultation was fantastic. Gueseppe asked us a series of questions about her training to date, what we thought was causing her to be nervous and what we wanted to get out of training. We want to be able to travel with her and ensure her safety, was our ultimate goal. We enrolled in the 2-month package with Jett. She was reluctant to enter the building and Gueseppe got to see first hand what a mini Jett panic attack looked like. Our first session was focused on motivation, conditioning and rewarding the behavior we expected her to do. Training with a slip collar made a huge & positive difference in making sure our communication was clear up and down the leash. We used the agility equipment to help her overcome fears of walking on different surfaces. Each week, we got homework to build on the previous learnings and started to see how putting her into obedience brought Jett comfort. We started to see a new spring in her step. By the third session we had already started to see her make breakthroughs in confidence, clarity and calmness when arriving to school. This was when we started working with Tiffany, who was wonderful. She spent a lot of time training me on how to be clear in my communication without bending down and becoming tangled up in the leash. The training of the human gave me so much insight into how I was inadvertently reinforcing the feeling of panic for Jett and I've learned how to dial it way back. I could see and feel Jett's emotional growth. I think she also could feel me getting more relaxed. The major growth day was the day we did a walk downtown with her and Tiffany walked with us as coach. We literally faced every situation that had caused Jett and I to panic in the past. When we got back to the school, we were all so proud of Jett. At our last class, Gueseppe joined us and Jett was happy to show him everything she had learned. Jett has graduated now and we are continuing our work with pack walks, alumni training days and taking her out into situations that we would normally have shied away from. The bonding we've experienced with Jett has been an incredible gift. She used to drool (she gets carsick) at the idea of getting into the car. She now gets excited and puts her paws up so she can be lifted in. Long story short. This training was the best money we have ever spent on any dog training course. We have a small and mighty toolbox to ensure that we are successful in all situations. We have a stronger bond with our pup and our older Aussie is enjoying going on walks with her now. My confidence is much stronger and the gratitude we feel for Companion Canine coming to Jacksonville, OR is immerse.

I…read moregot Ziva as a 6 week old puppy and was training her myself to be my Mobility Service Dog & she was doing very well....until she was 8 months old and was poisoned & spent 7 weeks in her crate. Her training went out to the window. She started knocking me down & Stomping on me to the point I had broken ribs. 10 more weeks in either her crate or dog run & she really needed an Attitude Adjustment! They did an EXCELLENT JOB! Ziva now has her CGC & will soon pass her Public Access test for ADA . Ziva is a joy again & is welcome in any grocery store, his box store & medical facilities! I'm Thrilled with the progress CC made & am very pleased with their Follow Up programs. I Highly Recommend these two Awesome Trainers! Best of Luck Christie & Ziva

I'm now crate training Lilo, and she recommended how to do it as well. I highly recommend Chris and her patience and love of animals. She also has a pleasant personality and easy to discuss and address concerns I had. Call her you will not be disappointed.

When we got a second dog, a mixed breed puppy, I worked with Chris on her course of obedience training. I was completely satisfied, and the dog also appreciated Chris' loving and effective methods. I recommend Chris whole-heartedly!

I was really pleased at the location-kind of out in the country and nice and quiet. There was a main house (where I assume the owners live) and then the kennel (they do grooming here as well). We have boarded our dog now a few times at Breton's and our vet, and never has he been taken care of as well as he was here. I was also amazed at the price. $18.00 a night. Very different from the $26-$32 we are charged at home. This place also has huge suites for the pets and though he was whiny when we left him, he wasn't extra whiny or sheddy or jumping to leave like other times. This is really telling and I wish this place were closer to home. I would recommend using them for sure!
