I'm very disappointed with our experience at Canine Learning Academy…read more Reggie started their all-day Prep School in May when he was only 4 months old. He initially attended 5 days a week and eventually went 3 days a week. By the time he was 8 months old, we had invested almost $10,000 in his training. My goal was simple: I wanted a well-trained dog that I could confidently walk and take with me places. Unfortunately, that is not what we ended up with. Reggie still pulls on the leash and is reactive toward other dogs, which makes it difficult for us to take him to many places. For the amount of time and money invested, I honestly feel like what we received was a lot of supervised crate time with small increments of training throughout the day. I understand that training a young dog takes time and that no trainer can guarantee perfection, but I expected significantly more progress for nearly $10,000 and months of full-day training. I will say that I really liked the trainer Reggie was paired with. She was kind and clearly cared about him. My concern was that she had so many dogs to work with that I don't feel Reggie was able to receive the individual attention he needed. The owner was also not very present during the majority of the time Reggie was enrolled, which was disappointing given the level of investment we were making. Another major issue was that the air conditioning was broken for essentially the entire summer. It was extremely hot, and having dogs spending all day there in those conditions was very concerning. I went into this program hoping to have a dog who was well trained, manageable, and able to go places with us. Instead, at 8 months old, we are still dealing with basic leash manners and significant reactivity toward other dogs. I really wanted this to be a great experience for Reggie, and unfortunately, I cannot say that the results justified the time, cost, or expectations that were set when we enrolled.

I love how they offer dog training and pack walk add on's when boarding a a pet. They will provide an incentive if boarding more than one dog. My baby girl received a few days of training. I appreciated that the owners have an Aussie also. It was fun to receive the training videos as well.
