But this is no way represents Terry with Canine Magic. There is nothing to be done to rectify anything , you should have cancelled in the 72 hour timeframe if that's what you wanted to do .

The CCBA owner, who we found to be warm and friendly, not only was there for all the hands-on training but came to our home for one-on-one training and even stayed an extra hour without charging us. Her knowledge of dogs and the dog training itself are next level, and we and our beloved new family member have benefitted greatly. We spoke to our vet about CC's dog training approach and the results we have seen so far (the anxiety barking has way toned down and no more lawn cigars in the house -- still working on the chew stuff), and he agreed one hundred percent with the CC's methodology. Thanks, CCBA. Jennie thanks you, too!

We recently adopted a new puppy (Nala) to keep our 3 year old Golden doodle (Augie) company…read more Although the two dogs are siblings from different litters, they didn't immediately take to being together. Unlike Augie, who was always sweet and extremely mellow even as a puppy, Nala bit us in the face, barked, destroyed things in our home and terrorized Augie to the extent that he would run away from her. We weren't sure we could keep her because she was so badly behaved and seemed untrainable. In the span of 3 weeks, David transformed Nala from a challenging puppy into a dream puppy. She obeys all the commands, walks off leash in our wooded neighborhood, sleeps hours later than when she left and most importantly she is able to play well with Augie who now seeks her out and willingly allows her even to sleep in his own bed. David sent dozens of videos so we could watch her while she was in training and learn the language she was learning from David. He kept in contact and was even able to drop her off and meet our other dog for a walk with Nala. Without Massachusetts Dog Training, we would likely have given our wonderful puppy away and never realized what a gem we had. David helped to uncover Nala's true potential and helped us to realize how smart, sweet and special she is. We will be forever grateful for his wisdom, expertise and love for our Nala.

On their website it states: "Pre-registration and payment is required to reserve a spot at orientation. Orientation is without your dog and does not count as one of your training weeks." So my partner and I signed up to learn more about their training, while looking at other options to determine what was best for our dog. We went to orientation on April 27th at 7pm where we received a booklet explaining their method and had a chance to ask questions. As our dog's aggressiveness was getting worse, we decided to start implementing some of their exercises in their book. We also agreed to confirm our attendance originally for May 11th and after emailing Canine University that we were struggling, we were moved to the May 4th class and confirmed our attendance. As our dog's behavior was escalating, we decided to contact another trainer that provided in-home service. We then emailed Canine University on May 4th that we would not be attending their classes and requested a partial refund. We received an email that they do not give out refunds and then they tried to convince us to go to the first class and then to private training. The cancellation policy on their website states: "Full refund if you notify us 48 hours prior to class start date. No refunds after the first class." We attended orientation and not a class. We asked where on their website the policy of no refunds after orientation was stated and have not received a response. If this business was confident in their training methods, they would operate differently and not be afraid to give customers refunds when no services have been rendered.

I reached out to Nikki's K9 training in a moment of desperation and could not be more glad that I did! Nikki totally renewed my love for my dog and has set my dog up for success at home and in stressful environments. After the first session with Nikki, I had a whole new dog! My puppy was calmer, able walk politely on a leash, knew how to look for leadership, and follow training directions overall. I worked with 3 other trainers (private and group sessions) and a dog socialization program without any progress before I met Nikki. Nikki's program and approach is the only thing that has made a difference in my dog's behavior. On top of the training, Nikki has a wealth of knowledge in canine health and nutrition. She helped design a feeding plan for my puppy that was customized to his breed and size. Nikki has been able to answer every question I've had related to dog ownership with expertise and compassion. Most of all, I appreciate how Nikki really understands my dogs needs. She does not try to train away what makes my puppy special. Instead, she customizes her approach to align the the dog's overall motivation which makes for a much happier puppy! 1,000,000/10

I found this place and thought it would be great for my dog. My poor dog is a scared hound with horrible past. I wanted her to be a better dog so that I can do more things with her. I brought her to the place, paid with my own money (12 years old by the way) i paid $850 i saved for months. I was so excited i was successful for this. I got through all the training classes and the end was a big test to see if she passes. I was really exited to see if she would pass. Weeks went on and i texted her and she said some where in the spring the test would be, it's now the middle of the spring and i keep nicely texting her to schedule a time. She stopped answering me. Now it's the summer and i still didn't get a text. I was upset and told my mom, my mom then texted her and left my mom on read for a day or two. Finally she answered my mom and said we could do the test. I got excited again. Sadly she texted my mom back and was like sorry we can't do Saturday and i have no other time for her. i was disappointed in myself and made it seem like it was my fault. She then gave me back $150 back but to be honest i think i should have gotten $850 that i paid. im talking about Mary F. So If you want to get your dog trained, i would find somewhere else to go.
