I know no other place anywhere that literally does training for your dog while they play. Commands like "wait," "back" "break" and many others. She watches the dogs behavior when they play so they do not get too rough with each other. She is an expert in interpreting dogs behavior. She also trains the dogs in groups as seen below. But all of this is done with positive training and kindness for she truly loves the dogs. For warmer days, she has kid pools for the dogs, and for really cold days there is an inside play area. She plays games with the dogs too. When my dog arrives, he flies through the air with ears flying backwards for he is so excited to arrive at Woof to Wow

Charlie has come a long way and we're grateful for Eric's guidance, empathy and dedication!

Those 6 sessions have formed a solid foundation through which we will continue to reinforce Charlie's trust and confidence!

We feel so lucky to have found Erica and The Kind Canine. To say that Erica is amazing is an…read moreunderstatement. She is extremely gifted in reading pups' behaviors and needs, as well as training people to understand their furry friends and support them along their journey. Erica's teaching style helped us practice strategies with feedback to make sure we were using them effectively. She gave us strategies to help our extremely anxious pup build confidence. She not only helped with behavior training, but also identified when training, alone, was not enough for Ren. She connected us with a vet and behaviorist to get Ren the medical treatment she needed for anxiety and GI issues. And when we had questions, she was super responsive and thorough. We've made huge leaps and bounds...we have all become more confident during Ren's transition from a rescue. A few months after training with Erica, Ren is now adjusting to big changes and experiences we weren't sure she could handle. All thanks to Erica helping us be the puppy parents Ren needs us to be. If you need help training your pup...I highly recommend The Kind Canine!

I almost worried they were having too much fun and wouldn't want to come home (ok, not really but they were pretty comfortable there). April and Scott and their pup, Smidge are fantastic and treat our boys like family. Smidge is the most welcoming and gracious pup I've ever met and she makes all new comers feel welcome immediately (our boy, Joey, has a major crush on her!). During their stay, we get lots of updates which we love because we miss them terribly when we travel. The Sullivans are very professional but also very warm and kind. I know our boys are in good hands and I can't imagine leaving them anywhere else.

In almost two years time and it is still difficult for us to consider City Strut and it's proprietor/owner, Bonnie Dias, anything but family. City Strut is simply the most organized and professional entity we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Punctuality, flexibility, leadership, attention to detail, efficiency, quantified results, etc. are but a few qualities that have helped City Strut thrive and lead in this highly competitive field. The one quality that stands out above anything else is the love and empathy that Bonnie has for all the dogs that she cares for. It is this single driving force that allows us to trust our beloved dog/child with her on a daily basis. Our doggy is a handful in that he is very loud and rambunctious but while with Bonnie he is a perfect little citizen. He loves her as much as we do which is evident every morning as he pulls and claws us towards her home with all his might. Last year we went overseas but were on the verge of canceling because we were so worried about our dog being without us for two weeks. City Strut to the rescue as Bonnie cared and loved for our dog well above and beyond the call of duty. To ease our hearts and minds, Bonnie sent us photos daily so that we could see the love of our lives and enjoy our trip at the same time! In closing, Bonnie is a saint who speaks to the dogs with her heart and values their safety above anything else. We highly recommend City Strut and will continue to be a part of Bonnie's family as long as she will have us.
