Do you have a new puppy? Are you seeking help from professionals who have real life experience…read moreproperly training dogs? If yes, look no further then the Canine Coach in Saint Paul. We took the 7-week introductory puppy course with instructor Brittany P. and it was a life saver. Brittany taught us how to control our puppy with techniques such as the quiet hold, zen activities, puppy socialization tactics to help with safety measures, and proper leash walking recommendations. This introductory class really helped us understand puppy behavior, how to course correct and integrate obedience training into our daily lives. Something ironic is that week #1 we had about 5 puppies and as every week passed, we ended up being the only group / puppy for the final 3 weeks so we basically got 1:1 attention! Not sure where / why others backed down but we still really appreciated all that Brittany was able to help us with. Her energy and enthusiasm for puppy obedience were outstanding. Within this puppy course, there are obedience steps you will learn in your training and then complete homework assignments where you will plug and play what you learned into your daily routine (IE: during outdoor walks, kennel time, feeding, sleeping, etc.) There is a generous parking lot on the side and there are two rooms within the building. I can only speak towards the top level as that is where my training was and the space felt very clean considering how many dogs visit each day. My understanding of the basement room is that it is used for agility training but I am sure you can confirm this on the website. We had so much fun that we will probably return for level 2 training. Thank you, thank you!

Pros: Large selection of classes. If you have a dog, you can probably find something they'll like…read moreto do. Prices are reasonable. Multiple locations throughout the cities. Clean facilities. Cons: If your dog attends the very expensive Boot Camp or Fit Dogs programs they spend 3-4 20 minute sessions with a trainer, the rest of the day your dog is in a kennel. My dog did both and I can't recommend. There is a lack of consistency between trainers. Take the same course with 2 different trainers, terms and methods will all be different. Communication with the office is difficult. I and 3 others I know who used them found the same. Last but definitely not least, serious lack of professionalism in trainers. My boy took the CGC course. He passed the practice test on the last week. I posted I was proud of him on a Facebook group. The following week he failed the official test. His trainer/evaluator went on the Facebook group and mocked us, saying we received divine retribution for bragging and need to eat humble pie. Needless to say we withdrew from the other classes he was registered for. The office has repeatedly ignored my requests to speak to someone about it.

I brought my pup Gracie, a pitty mix, to the Saint Paul location for basic obedience and had a…read moregreat experience. The trainer was patient and knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. And on the last day of class when all the dogs were testing out, my pup seemed to be over it and eventually just laid down and refused to do any more. The trainer laughed and sympathized with her and gave her some pets, telling her she was a good girl. I definitely recommend bringing your pup here for training.

We recently sent our 6-year old Cavaliers to Boot Camp with Wendy in St. Louis Park and would…read morehighly recommend this service. Within the first week the dogs were learning new commands, but surprisingly were calmer and happier at home. This has remained true several weeks after class ended. I believe the dogs appreciate that we can communicate and understand them more effectively. We found Wendy's bi-weekly human coaching sessions and emails to be helpful learning tools. Her style was approachable and informative. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her, too. When deciding on a program I did hesitate on the price, but overall found it competitive to other programs and justified by the support we received.

The homework and techniques have been helpful in teaching my dog some foundational work. I believe TCOTC is also a popular location for brining dogs who want to learn agility. I do think the trainers get paid for the classes they lead, but it almost seems like they are all volunteers and there for the love of helping other dogs. I do feel the classes are helpful, but I also think there is some heavy overlap between classes - even though you are told to take some of them in a specific order.

The qualities that most impacted our success are: 1) Listening to my hopes & expectations for fine tuning my dog walks & my dog's interactions with me & our large family 2) Giving us new tools to improve communication & showing us how to use them 3) Guided hands on practice together to gain confidence & practical application of tools 4) Patience & that calm cool voice he has when working with my dog & me 5) Easy to set up training sessions & affordable Dog walks are more calm & enjoyable for both of us. We are all works in progress, but we've made great leap forward doing this training work together. If new problems arise in the future we will definitly reach out to Infinte K9 Academy again.
