Ashley has been helping us train our 10 month old conformation Irish Setter gal, for the past five months. He has been great, patient, and full of ideas. She is full of energy and he has helped channel it, in a positive way. His facility is clean and has many play and exercise areas. Our Scarlett goes to see him every week, and she looks forward to her sessions. We have also happily trusted Ashley to board our fur-baby when we went on vacation. read more

I wanted some specific training for my dog. I was impressed that Ashley listened to my request. He got to know my dog and we set up appointments. I think the training was mostly for me. I had purchased a mini educator dog training device. I wanted to be sure I knew how to use it correctly. I needed to actually "do it" as opposed to reading or being told how. So I did it repeatedly and was encouraged to call if I had questions. I am so impressed with Ashley's integrity. He wants to do the "right thing" for the dog and it's owner. I think this was an exceptional experience! read more

Hello, I don't write reviews but feel during these times it's important to let people know when something good comes along. I just got my pup a week before the lockdown. I set up training with Ashley with Canine Tutors prior to this. Now what? Ashley worked with me via texts and zoomed me examples. It's was so good to be able to work with my pup. Any issues that came up a quick call or text got me back on track. After things loosened up some I met with Ashley in a safe environment, masking up and limiting contact. Worked great, so happy I made to choice to go with Canine Tutors. Ashley is committed to his craft and seems to understand and communicate with my pup easily. My pup can and does go everywhere with me now. Any setback just reach out to Ashley, he stands behind what he does and takes pride in it. If you want a well mannered dog you can take places, give Ashley a call, you won't be sorry. read more

My experience with K-9 Tutors was nothing less than spectacular! I adopted a 90lb pitbul while still at college and as far as I could tell he had no previous household or training. My family and I contacted Ashley and his training program helped immensely! Within just a few weeks Saint (my dog) did a complete 360. Not only is the training program extremely effective, but Ashley is a great guy with extensive knowledge on dogs and how to train them. He's also very flexible with his schedule and really cares about you and your dog. Once learned, the training program is quite simple and only takes a maximum of 15 minutes out of your day. Worth every penny and I would recommend K-9 Tutors to anyone looking to train their dog. It was also extremely helpful that he supplied the basic training tools needed for training. As well, he has training videos that he sends if your dog is struggling with one area of the training. Ash is an A1 trainee who goes above and beyond for his clients. read more

Ashley and his team really helped me get our rescue girl that little bit of extra training I wanted. He is a very kind and passionate trainer with a dedicated team working with him. These people were never more than a text or phone call away and more than willing to share their advice and time. Ashley has a very "can do" attitude and wonderful demeanor. He really understands that us humans need to learn as much if not more than our pups do. The next time I add a dog to our pack, he will be in our corner. read more

Bought a package of $899 and he promised to send link to his calendar so that I could schedule the sessions, to send videos to help with the training, and call in between sessions to check on progress.

We highly recommend Canine Tutors! We recentl adopted a puppy and we are first time dog parents. Ashely meet with us to design an intro training practice and the scheduled 4-private lessons to help us learn how to start training our puppy. The time he spent training Kona was super helpful, but more helpful was the time he spent teaching us how to train her...both now and as she gets bigger and progresses through her training. read more

A little background on our situation: my husband and I have a lovable French Bulldog that has just finished 4 private sessions with Ashley. Our Frenchie HAD a huge issue with leash reactivity. When she was about 5 months old, we took her to a Frenchie meet up for an opportunity for her to socialize with her own breed. Unfortunately while we were there another Frenchie had attacked her, it was heartbreaking. From that point on every time she was on the leash and another dog would pass by she went nuts! It was the works with pulling, growling, barking, and crying. She would absolutely lose her mind. As you can imagine going on walks was not enjoyable and the continued judgement from other dog owners left us feeling discouraged. My husband and I knew we needed to enlist the help of a professional, that's when we found Canine Tutors! We consider ourselves lucky to have found Ashley. He is full of creative ideas and resources in customizing the learning experience for us and our dog. While a lot of trainers we spoke to had a one size fits all method, Ashley, was flexible in adapting to the needs of our dog. Working with Ashley has allowed us to learn and understand the entire spectrum of training and creating a bond with our dog. He has provided insight to how our dog thinks and how to adjust our actions and tone to set her up for success. In our last session with him, our dog was able to walk between two dogs without leash pulling or growling. There is still work to be done in helping our dog continue to improve but with Ashley's guidance and help we are confident our dog's success will only increase! read more

Our little one Ponyo did whatever he wanted until he met the trainer. Now he listens well, and knows specific commands that we ask from him and he does it gladly. I would also like to add that my dog is only 15months so I would recommend any breed big or small at any age to go through this style of training. My husband and I looked into two other dog trainers before we decided but the decision was easy after we met Ashley. Don't wait if you want your dog to listen make the call! read more

I waited a couple of days to write my review just to see if the training that me and my boy got would work. My boy has been a major leash puller, he would literally pull to the point where it become embarrassing. I wanted to get him trained just because having an American bully who is unaltered is already intimidating to some people already, but if you add leash pulling to that? It's the worst nightmare of some people. I would get so embarrassed and felt sorry for my dog because instead of helping to alleviate the stereotype of pits being scary, I was reinforcing it by making it look like I couldn't handle my dog because he would walk ME down the street. Fast forward 6 days after, my dog has improved so much it's crazy. He does pull still, but on very rare occasions, usually when the distraction is too "amazing" to ignore like, seeing other dogs, but not as bad as before. He doesn't pull anymore when there is no - little distraction and walks perfectly 80% of the time now. I'm sure he will improve as more days goes by, but as what Ashley says, "the more you practice it, the better he will be on the leash" and he is 100% right on that. Another reason why Canine Tutors is the way to go is because Ashley managed to fit me in his busy schedule, and was very accommodating with schedule changes. read more

I reached out to Canine Tutors because I am fostering a German Shepherd/Mastiff Mix, Koda, that weighs 90 lbs and pulls on his leash. The combination of his pulling and his strength makes walking him a nightmare. Plus he is intimidating to other people, though he is an absolute love. Being able to control him is very important. So the first 5 minutes, Ashley spent assessing how bad his pulling was as he just pulled me from side to side. He could see that I was using all my strength to keep him still. Ashley told me that the best thing to use would be a pinch collar. At first, I was a bit scared that it would hurt him, but he assured me that it wouldn't and he had me touch it, etc.. Oh my goodness what a difference it made. He stayed right by my side. We would walk and as soon as he wanted to pull, we would change directions with the technique that Ashley taught me. I felt like Ashley would have stayed there all day with us doing the technique. Luckily I think that I got it down after about an hour. He followed up that same day with a link to buy the collar that we used. And has been following up periodically since then. I am happy to say that even with that just that training that day, Koda has been walking much better on his leash. It makes such a difference and it makes walking him a completely different experience. I hope to schedule a follow up with Ashley soon. Thank you! it will make him a much adoptable dog. read more

We adopted Shasta, a border collie/husky mix, 6 months ago. He came to us, shy and not very trusting of us. We speculated that he may have been abused by a previous owner. He was also a master escapist. One day he escaped and ran down the street and I followed him, in the pouring rain. For an hour. That's when I knew we needed help. I found Devon thru asking a dog group on Facebook for suggestions and I am so happy I did! Shasta is bounds and leaps happier and more trusting of us! We've even gotten to the point where we can have him off leash with us in the front yard and we're not as scared he'll jump the fence and take off! There are still a ton of things we want to work on, but I am SO pleased with how much he had improved, in just 8 short weeks! I highly suggest Canine Tutors and Devon! She's amazing!! read more

Hamza is my Cream's trainer~ very professional and provide excellent service! He is the best!!! Thank you !!!

Ashley is great and provided a ton of valuable information. Worth every penny for the efficiency of correct dog training.

After coordinating via email and phone, we had an appt set with Ashley for a home visit. He asked that my husband and I both be there, So he took off of work to be home for the appt. The morning of (an hour before our appt ) I received a call from Ashley that he had car issues and couldn't make it. I understand life happens-No problem. He assured us that he would call right back to make another appt. that was almost a month ago.... never heard from Again. :( bummed. read more

Ashley is a fantastic trainer and I'm so glad I made the choice to work with Canine Tutors. I looked at a number of trainers and the thing I appreciated is he brought his own dog over and showed what's possible. He gave rock solid advice and methods to help Zara. She's a Great Dane and my goal was to get her in the best form sooner before she's 120 lbs :) now she's 122 lbs and so well behaved! He knows a ton about how they think, what works,what is reasonable to ask at her age. He also goes above and beyond to make sure he's delivering a great experience for everyone. I'll continue to work with him for sure! He even helped me learn how to get her on a treadmill. He really went the extra mile to provide value and extra help. read more

I read the reviews about Canine Tutors and decided to give them a call. We have a 12 year yellow lab and we needed help to get him to climb a ramp to get into our SUV versus jumping into the car. We bought the ramp but our dog would not go up it. I spoke on the phone with Ashley and scheduled some time for him to come to our residence. Ashley came by and he was great. Within 15 mins he had our lab going up and down the ramp with no issues. I highly recommend contacting Ashley if you need assistance especially with older dogs. read more

I contacted Ashely because we have a 3 year old miniature schnauzer that always barks at other dogs while on the leash and it made us almost impossible to take him out with us. We also needed to take our dog out of town in less than a month when I contacted Ashely. He provided us a clear solution on how to correct our dog's behavior and explained thoroughly to us why our dog is behaving that way. Ashely is also really understanding about the limited time, he suggested us to arrange classes more often and answered many of our questions via texts. I waited until after the priviate sessions and tried out at various places ourselves, and Ashely's method worked perfectly, we have now encountered many dogs when our schnauzer's on the leash and he did not flip out. I would recommend Canine Tutors to anyone who is considering dog trainings! read more

My son Tony was afraid of dogs. My apartment is too small for a dog so we did not have one. When Tony was between the ages of 4 and 7, it seemed like every time a dog owner invited Tony to pet their dog, the dog barked and lunged at him. This only reinforced Tony's fears. I asked Ashely whether Tony could meet one of his dogs at the dog park. I figured since Ashley was a dog trainer his dog would be well behaved and do nothing to scare Tony. As expected Ashely had his dog perfectly trained. Once Tony realized that his dog was not going to bite him he started to become comfortable and actually pet Ashley's dog. This was a huge leap for Tony. Before this Tony shied away or cringed at the sight of a dog. He refused to even pet them. I can not blame him. Tony was just using kid logic: 1) Adults have told me their dogs are safe to pet; 2) When I try to pet the dog, it lunges at me; 3) Dogs are not safe, especially when an adult tells me they are safe. Ashely broke the pattern. He saw that Ashley had great friendship with his dog and trained him to behave around children. In a year and a half Tony's attitude has changed. Tony now wants to own a dog. If I end up getting a dog, I will hire Ashley to train them. read more

We used Ashley for boarding our dog Snowball while we went on vacation and we where extremely happy with his services. Snowball is a rescue from the meat markets of Korea and is still very timid but super sweet. We wanted her to stay in a routine and home setting (which both where provided)! Ashley sent me text updates, pictures, and videos everyday! I really appreciated the updates and she look to have so much fun playing with the other dogs! We will definitely use the services of Ashley and Canine Tutors again! read more

We first found out about Canine Tutors at the Campbell's Farmers Market. Ashley contacted us directly to set up our free in home assessment/lesson. He is an overall easy going guy and I think that helps greatly when it comes to training. We really like that his methods are reward based. If your dog didn't get it right, it simply doesn't get the reward. He taught us the best way to teach her (she older and recently lost her brother) and how to be successful with her training. He doesn't just tell you how, he'll tell you why certain techniques work better than others. Admittedly, I had to be retained myself and I'm totally ok with it! I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone who is looking for a trainer or assistance with behavior issues. read more

Ashley (Canine Tutors) is extremely knowledgeable and personable! He was great with our dog Gilligan! Our dog is on his way to having an awesome recall which was high on our training priorities. Ashley showed us how to teach Gillian to catch a frisbee which made for a really cool session. In between sessions, we are able to send videos of us working with Gilligan; it's great to be able to get feedback from Ashley almost immediately. His training techniques are top notch and definitely work! I highly recommend him for your dog training needs! He was extremely flexible with scheduling! He was sensitive to Gilligan's needs after surgery. And It was great of him to do the initial contact and training at our home! read more

Our dog Kona, 7 month old, boarded this past July 4th weekend with Ashley and she was taken care of well. Ashley was kind and patient, answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable leaving Kona for the first time. Ashley also trained us with Kona for 5 sessions (1:1), then we join the group as well, meeting every Saturday morning. He is great with our dog and is an excellent trainer. We have learned so much form Ashley who is very passionate about dogs training. Thank you Ashley! read more

After four sessions we are delighted to be getting results with our dog who has historically barked unrelentingly at all strangers. Before working with Ashley of Canine Tutors we tried reading and following the guidance of three different dog training books and several videos. Then we hired a professional trainer who was highly reviewed. She helped with one issue but, overall her method was too complex & murky to execute. Ashley's methods are simple and clear. I have learned enough in four sessions with one of my dogs that I have been going home and training the second dog using the same methods. Ashley is good at delivering the right amount of information in each session. After all, it's us, the owners who need to be trained! He never says that but, I appreciate that he is very patient with me as I make mistakes. He is never patronizing. He just clearly lays out a good strategy and explains as needed. His methods are kind and come from real appreciation and affinity with animals. The hard truth that dog training takes lots of repetition has been a blessing in disguise. In committing to 15 reps of each command twice a day, my difficult dog and I have a better bond. I feel closer to her. I think she enjoys the training. Knowing that repetition is key, Ashley has structured the training as a dog training club. This is great on many levels. For less than I paid the aforementioned mediocre trainer, we can come as often as we like (easy to sign up online). So, it's a bargain. Sometimes there are other dogs there since five people with one dog each can show up. Having other dogs there is perfect in our case because our dog also typically barks at dogs who are strangers too. Yesterday she started understanding how to not do that because Ashley is skilled at adapting the training for everyone's best advantage. Both dogs got practice not barking at each other based on cues from the owners, not just because they got to know each other. I could go on but, suffice to say I have had good results that I know how to maintain, and good ongoing support for reaching all of our goals with the dog we used to call our difficult dog. All of this for less than most trainers charge (it's not cheap but, it's a good value). Ashley is also a person with integrity. When he has needed to change anything, he has made it right without being asked to do that. I will update in a month or two when we have reached the goal of being able to have multiple strangers to our home at once without our dog freaking out. I can see that we are on our way now that she has already learned to be quiet, mostly, with one stranger approaching. This has been a great experience and a relief!! I am grateful and highly recommend Ashley and his methods!! read more

I have been looking into training for my pocket pit. I have been so discouraged when I find out the cost. My dog isn't aggressive just overly excited so he has been deemed a aggressive dog by other trainers. I saw the owner of Caine Tutors, Ashley at the dog park near my dads house and noticed him training a dog. I was able to talk to him about prices for my dog since he was right there. I was very impressed with his reasonable and affordable prices. Training was very easy for both me and the dog. And I would definitely recommend his services to all. read more

Ashley is a true genius when it comes to understanding dog behavior. More like "owner behavior" is what we learned. Excited to try out the great tips he gave us to get all of our dogs to calm down and get along with each other. Thank you! read more

Ashley is the best. We are dog sitting a 9 month old shih tzu named Happy for an extended period of time. We had so many issues with Happy when he first came to us. On his walks he would hoover up everything on the ground and then throw up the following morning. He would lunge at people whenever he went outside. And at night he would try to wake us up constantly. After going through 5 private sessions with Ashley, Happy is so much better. We are now able to bring him out every day on walks without worrying about Happy. And the placeboard training has really helped Happy to behave, to the point where he does not try to wake us up at night anymore. I would give Ashley more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Check out Coconut's training. Everyone knows I'm a dog lover and a Golden lover. Coconut and Calvin are best friends and truly enjoy each other. Ashley is teaching us some guiding tools to help us with the development of Coconut so we can keep her safe and let her bright light shine. We're really lucky to have Ashley help with Coconut. Our previous dog, Nutmeg, RIP, was connected to me at the hip so her growth was a natural flow and I didn't need much coaching with her because I was with her all the time. With the new work schedules, and especially with Calvin, we needed help. Ashley has been a God-Send. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBLPh9sVENI read more

Ashley is the best dog trainer ever and we are so lucky to have found him. Our Maltese shitzu baby Theodore loves him as well. Ashley always has such great tips and ideas for us to try at home to reinforce Theodore's training with him, and they are always so quick and easy, but so effective! Theodore is learning so quickly all thanks to Ashley. We see such a positive difference in Theodore's behavior after every training session. If you're looking for a trainer don't hesitate to contact Ashley. He really cares about the dogs and is always willing to help. Thanks so much Ashley! read more

I contacted Canine Tutors about getting help with crate training our new puppy. Ashley was very quick with getting back to me to set up a consultation.

If we need to use Ashley in the future I will definitely contact him again. read more

Ashley came over to my house for a complementary evaluation. I took my first training class today and it was totally worth it.

I can't wait for the final results!!!! read more

Ashley is a top caliber dog trainer. He's the type of guy that would be training dogs even if he wasn't getting paid to do it. A true "dog man". He's easy to work with and he gets results. I've always felt that the best way to judge a dog trainer is to look at his own demonstration dog. Ashley's dogs are amazing! read more

Ashley was very honest and direct in his assessment of my dog and her fear aggression for humans. He asked good questions to understand her behavior and gave helpful insights on the investment vs the reward of working on her "issue". Ultimately, he recommended not proceeding with additional training given her situation. I appreciated him thinking in the best interest of my dog vs his own business. On top of the honesty, he was prompt and courteous in his interactions. Thanks for the advice Ashley! read more

Ashley's highly energetic style might not be everyone, but he truly changed my entire experience regarding my dog, from one that was heart-breaking and difficult to one that is sweet and joyous. My dream was to work with my standard poodle off leash, but at about the age of 1 and 1/2 years, my energetic dog (or should I say "my dog and I"?) had developed huge problems regarding chasing inappropriate things, getting over excited around other dogs, and an 'iffy' recall. By the third lesson, my dog was an angel, even though we were at a busy beach -- which was a place I had stopped going. By the end of the series, things had improved so much it was almost unbelievable. I will always be grateful that I worked with him and my dog enjoys his off-leash life style. read more
