    My wife and I have a high energy, rambunctious and highly anxious field golden retriever. We were referred to Canis, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the decision. While expensive, you get what you pay for, and the team at Canis give you all the tools you need to succeed, including unlimited private training and group classes for a year after the board and train program. Our trainer, Kaitlyn, was incredibly patient with our golden, and we couldn't be more thankful for teaching both our dog and us the tools to live with a high energy dog. Thank you Kaitlyn, Brent and the entire team at Canis!

    I am here to update my review now that I've experienced the City Dog 1 and the Nature Dog 1 training classes offered by Canis Behavior. You can find all the classes that they offer on their website along with a calendar that shows approximately a month and a half in advance so you can plan around it. I initially wanted to start out with City Dog classes but they were full so I signed Cheska up for the Nature Dog class first. Brent teaches each series and he's very upbeat and makes all the classes fun and packed with knowledge. When I took Nature Dog, I will be honest I was really nervous and didn't believe that Cheska could be trusted on a long line away from me. During the first class we used 15 foot lines to practice and 15 feet felt sooooo far away to me. I'm looking back now laughing because now I'm using 50 feet of line at the park. In Nature dog you learn how to keep your dog within your radius, allowing them to sniff and explore within that radius while perfecting your dog's recall in this class as well as being able to tell them commands from afar and they follow it from farther than right next to your side. I feel like Cheska blossomed in this class and the trust between her and I sky rocketed. When I took City Dog class we met at the Topanga mall area and this is really where you get to train in real life scenarios. At this mall you've got people walking by, you've got little kids running at you from all directions, you've got other people with their dogs who are just hanging out in the area, and more. So many good learning experiences all in one place. Brent really does go through every possible scenario of what you should do if you run into these types of things as well as how to position your dog while in public. To top it all off, you will also learn using stairs, elevators and escalators with your dog! Seeing all our dogs going up one by one on the escalators is the cutest thing I've ever seen Lol. In the end, Nature Dog was my very favorite class and I believe Cheska excels in this. Being in Nature is what animals were made for. I am already signed up for Nature Dog 2 and can't wait. As soon as more City Dog series come out I will take those as well. With these classes Cheska is becoming well rounded and she isn't confused, she seems to understand the difference of scenarios when we go out. The goal has always been to be able to take her everywhere with me, and through the help of Brent, Hunter, and everyone else at Canis, this dream has come true!

    CANIS and our trainer Kaitlyn have transformed our lovable but very excitable Bucky. Bucky attended the 4-week board & train program. We have noticed a huge improvement in his behavior and discipline (e.g., heeling during walks/runs instead of pulling, sitting/laying down on command, staying quietly in his crate until we wake up) - our friend who is one of Bucky's biggest fans even noticed a big difference! Kaitlyn was very communicative and responsive and provided weekly photos/videos and report cards that contained detailed updates regarding Bucky's progress. We are looking forward to the additional training sessions that are included in the board & train program!

    I can't say enough great things about Kaylin and the entire team at Canis Behavior & Training. They took amazing care of my Doberman, Kano, during his six-week training program, and the results exceeded my expectations. The transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence has been incredible. Kaylin was professional, knowledgeable, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. She kept me updated on Kano's progress, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood how to continue his training during our one-on-one sessions. A huge thank you to Kaylin and the entire staff at Canis Behavior & Training for all of the hard work, dedication, and care you gave Kano. It truly shows how much you love what you do and how much you care about the dogs you train. I highly recommend Canis Behavior & Training to anyone looking for top-quality dog training. If you're considering training your dog, this is the place to go. Thank you all again for everything you did for Kano!

    When we dropped Willow off at CANIS for her 3-week Board & Train program while we were travelling, we were hopeful--but also realistic. We'd spent the past 2 1/2 years working with multiple trainers, putting in countless hours of training, and hearing the same message over and over: some dogs are just reactive, and you'll never completely change that--you can only manage it. We wanted to believe there was more possible for Willow, but after hearing that so many times, it was hard not to wonder if this was simply who she was. Jen and the team at CANIS proved otherwise. From the very beginning, Jen was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. We loved receiving regular updates, videos, and progress reports throughout the program, and it was amazing to watch Willow's confidence grow week by week. It was obvious how much care, skill, and dedication went into every aspect of her training. The results have been nothing short of incredible. In just the few days Willow has been home, we've been able to walk her past other dogs on the street, and she ignores them. The reactivity that dictated so much of our daily life has essentially disappeared. Walks that used to be often stressful are now enjoyable, and we're finally able to relax and simply enjoy being with our dog. What impressed us most is that Willow is still the same sweet, happy dog we love, she hasn't lost her personality at all. She has simply learned how to navigate the world with confidence and calmness. Just as importantly, Jen made sure we understood how to continue reinforcing everything at home, giving us the confidence to maintain all of Willow's progress. If you've been told that your reactive dog can't change, don't give up. We heard that over and over again for more than two years, and CANIS proved otherwise. We are beyond grateful to Jen and the entire team for giving us the dog we always knew Willow could be. One thing that really stands out to us is that we didn't start this journey from scratch. Over the past 2 1/2 years, we'd already put in an enormous amount of work with Willow. We had taken her from being a highly reactive dog to one whose reactivity was manageable--but it was never where we wanted it to be. Despite all the time, effort, and help from other trainers, we seemed to have reached a plateau. Then, in just three short weeks, Jen and the team at CANIS found what feels like the missing piece of the puzzle. Whatever their "secret sauce" is, it worked. Willow has become the calm, confident dog we always believed she could be, and we couldn't be more grateful. This has been, without question, the best outcome we could have ever imagined for Willow, and us. We're also excited to continue building on this foundation by participating in the ongoing training classes that CANIS offers. Knowing that we have Jen and the team there to support Willow's continued growth gives us great confidence for the future. Thank you, Jen and CANIS, for changing not only Willow's life, but ours as well.

    Kaitlin and the team at CANIS completely exceeded my expectations. I enrolled my 2-year-old Miniature Schnauzer in their 6-week Board & Train program after struggling with significant reactivity toward both people and other dogs. To be honest, I had reached a point where I wasn't sure how much progress was even possible. I can confidently say I was wrong. From the very beginning, Kaitlin was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. She was always responsive whenever I had questions and did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout the program. I really appreciated the regular videos and report cards, which allowed me to see my dog's progress week by week and understand exactly what he was working on. It was clear that a tremendous amount of thought and care went into his training. Most importantly, the results were real. My dog is now calm, obedient, and far more confident in situations that used to be overwhelming for him. Before training, taking him out in public was stressful because I never knew how he would react. Now I'm able to bring him to grocery stores, coffee shops, and other public places, even in his carrying case, without worrying that he'll be barking, lunging, or becoming a nuisance. The difference is remarkable. What impressed me most is that the training wasn't about suppressing his personality. He's still the same happy, playful dog, but now he has the structure and obedience to navigate the world successfully. The team also made sure I understood how to reinforce everything once he came home, which has made maintaining his progress much easier. If you're on the fence about investing in training, especially for a reactive dog that seems like a lost cause, I can't recommend Kaitlin and CANIS enough. The professionalism, communication, and quality of the training were outstanding, and the transformation in my dog has genuinely improved both his quality of life and mine. It was one of the best investments I've made for him.

    Kaitlyn and the entire Canis team are truly exceptional, but Kaitlyn deserves special recognition. From the very beginning, it was clear how patient, loving, and genuinely invested she is in the dogs she works with. She does not just train dogs, she truly cares for them, and that was especially evident in the way she connected with Kobe. Kobe absolutely loved being at Canis, and even more so, he adored Kaitlyn. Knowing he was with someone who treated him with so much kindness, consistency, and respect gave me complete peace of mind. Kaitlyn took the time to understand Kobe's personality, his quirks, and what motivates him, and she tailored her approach to meet him exactly where he was. After completing the board and train program, Kobe came home like a completely different dog in the best way possible. His behavior, focus, and responsiveness improved tremendously, yet he is still the same goofy, lovable, incredibly friendly pup we adore. The transformation felt balanced and thoughtful, never forced, and that speaks volumes about Kaitlyn's skill and philosophy as a trainer. The Canis staff as a whole are professional, supportive, and clearly passionate about what they do, but Kaitlyn's warmth and dedication truly set this experience apart. I cannot recommend Kaitlyn and Canis enough to anyone looking for high quality training paired with genuine care and love for their dog. Kobe gained so much from this experience, and so did we. THANK YOU KAITLYN!!!!

    I cannot recommend Canis enough! After getting my new puppy Romeo last November, I realized it had been over 15 years since I last had a puppy and I had no idea where to begin training. I made an appointment and met with Brent and Kaitlyn and after an hour with them, I could tell it was the right fit. Romeo completed and graduated the 4 week day training program and just 6 months old! I appreciate everyone who works at Canis who we encountered every day, but I specifically want to give a HUGE shout out Romeo's trainer, Kaitlyn. I loved getting the text updates with pictures and just keeping me informed on how he's doing. If I noticed any bad habits at home, I would let Kaitlyn know and she instantly would work on it with him, as well as tell me how to continue the training process at home. We even discussed bringing Romeo back when he's a little older to complete 2 more weeks of training, which I will happily sign him up. He's also in the process of doing privates and the City Dog class to continue his training process. I also boarded Romeo for 4 nights during his training and everyone made it an easy and safe place to leave him while I was out of town. Overall, I would highly recommend Canis to anyone who is looking for dog training. Thank you to the entire Canis team!

    Our boy, Bear.  Still sad he hasn't found his permanent home -but living like a little prince until he does!

    We've been working with Brent, the owner, and Candice now for a year and we're very grateful to them for helping us with our foster dog who is 3 1/2 years old and a Belgian Malinois, Shepherd mix. Excellent boarding excellent staff. Just be really clear with what you need and want so they can help you exceptional training classes! Absolutely worth the investment for your dog and a lifetime of obedience and love.

    We have been huge fans of CANIS for a long time including their training and boarding services. Unfortunately, while we were away for a week long vacation, we received a call on our last night that said that during the evening feeding time our precious Chow Chow was attacked. This has made us feel hurt and shocked. Why did this happen at a place that prides itself on top protection? Worse, the dog who attacked our Chow Chow went through a 6 week training course at CANIS that cost thousands of dollars! What is the use of paying for a service of protection when the service doesn't do what it promises to do? In the future, we will have to rethink using CANIS for our precious fur babies. We trusted CANIS deeply. Winter was trained here, and we believed our dogs would be handled with professional safeguards. What hurt us most wasn't only the incident, but the lack of proactive communication and ownership when we picked them up. Seeing Easter injured without explanation broke our trust.

    I truly recommend Canis Behavior Training! My dog Blu was not the friendliest both with people and other dogs - my family and I have a hard time walking him as he gets reactive to basically anything so we had booked him into a board and train program. Couple of weeks later and we're able to enjoy him outdoors! Kaitlyn is the best!!! Blu really loves her, and she was just so patient with him. I love that we're able to go on walks at any time of the day!

    As someone who was extremely nervous and skeptical of board and training--I can truly say it was the best investment. But what made the experience first class was our trainer Kaitlyn Prisk. Kaitlyn is the type of person who takes pride in her craft and will love your fur child like her own. Her patience, communication, and genuine care were evident from day one. She took the time to understand Nellie's personality, walked us through the process every step of the way, and made sure we felt confident and prepared to continue the training at home. What stood out most was how personalized the experience felt. Kaitlyn tailored her approach to Nellie specifically, and the results speak for themselves. Nellie came home happier, more confident, and so much better behaved than I ever expected.

Snacks has improved dramatically on leash, is learning to be passive about his environment (he gets very excited around other dogs), and listening to us for the first time. Rob went above and beyond to keep us connected during our time away, sharing progress videos and pictures every day. When we returned, Rob made sure we had plenty of time to go over all of the new things we needed to learn. He explained leash handling, gave us tips and tricks to help keep Snacks engaged, and gave us resources to refer to after his training was over. Rob even helped us find a new harness that was a much safer alternative for our big boy who pulls a lot. We cannot recommend Rob highly enough. Snacks was the least stressful part of our time a way for the wedding, and that's the best gift we could have asked for.

Previously we had tried training at a pet store but Winston is a smart puppy and knows when to switch it on, in this kind of controlled / confined space he is the most perfectly behaved dog. But out in the 'real' world, at his favorite places like the beach and park, it's another story.

In contrast, and as his website puts so well Karl's style is: "my philosophy for training and walking, we're a team, there's no alpha, just a couple of mates trying to get by in life, together." this very much matches our sentiments. Karl has also dog sat for us and we 100% trust him at our house, we love receiving photos that Winston has been taken to the dog beach or other adventures. His wife is lovely too and has also taken care of Winston. They helped us out in a real last minute pinch.

It's a highlight of the week.

Lindsey not only helped with training our pup, but helped to train us on how to work with her, how to read her body language, what to look for with other dogs, and interactions with people. Our girl was most likely abused in her early life so she was pretty anxious and fearful of new people especially men. In addition she was pretty anxious around other dogs and didn't seem to have much previous socialization. Lindsey helped us work on all these things and its really been night and day since our first session. Lindsey is very thorough with the initial consultation and I really love the fact she has 2 dogs she can bring along to help with socialization. The best part about the training was Lindsey's flexibility to meet with us in/near our home, at the dog park and at the pet store. We were able to expose our girl to all kinds of situations and work through them. We can happily report our amazing shelter dog now goes with us to the dog park, dog beach, walks by our side with a loose leash, and can be recalled off leash. She is also so much better with meeting new people and even goes into work with us 3 days a week. We are very lucky to have found Lindsey and would recommend her to anyone.

    When I get lucky...I get LUCKY! I found this amazing group…read moreof people off of Yelp, and the 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. I have two pups: Archie and Charlie. I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

    A week after we brought our adopted pitbull puppy home, we felt completely helpless when she…read morestarted peeing in the house, biting everything, crying in the crate nonstop, etc. We reached out to a few dog trainers on Yelp and Kelev K9 replied right away. A few minutes later Leo called us and asked questions about the situation. Some basic tips he gave us over the phone saved our sanity until he came to our house a few days later for a free consultation. The consultation made it clear how experienced and passionate Leo is about dog training, so we decided to sign with him that same day. After one session we felt much more confident in training our dog and saw the "light at the end of the tunnel". Over the past 5 months and four training sessions, we have seen day and night improvement in her behavior. If you feel lost and out of control with how to train your dog or want to continue their training, Kelev K9 should be your first call. Leo is always ready to help out with any questions or concerns we have by text or phone call. Pricing is also extremely fair and was a worthwhile investment for us because we have our sanity back and have bonded so deeply with our dog through training. Thank you so much Leo, Breanna, and the whole team at Kelev K-9!

    Lori Hoffman, owner of Training All Doggies has a gift for training dogs…read more I have a 7 year old Beagle Mix, Sara, that I rescued through ASPCA and although she is a gentle soul ( allowing my grandchildren to pet her and encircle her without any complaint) it was only later that some of her other behaviors began showing up. Whining, barking at other dogs that she passed on the street and in the car, and while leashed, seriously pulling and standing on her hind legs whenever she saw a cat or squirrel. I had previously hired two different dog trainers some time ago and really didn't even get close to having results about any of these behaviors. I pretty much had given up. However, eventually I came to the realization that letting Sara be in charge was no longer an option. But when I met Lori Hoffman (and I suggest you do too), I began seeing improvements in Sara's behaviors right away. It appeared that Lori's challenges had to do more with training me than training Sara! Lori has been teaching me how to be in charge of my dog and I have been needing to do that! Personally, you will find that Lori is a fine, genuine person, who cares for and is devoted and committed to the dogs and their owners that she serves. With the love that she has for her work as well as her enthusiasm, encouragement, excellent teaching skills, knowledge and patience, you will easily see how lucky you will feel to have found her.

    Laurie is absolutely AMAZING! Our Golden Doodle was wild, energetic, and honestly felt completely…read moreuntrainable. When she walked through the door, my kids literally said, "He's untrainable!" But when Laurie walked out, they were completely shocked at the transformation. She worked her magic and showed us that with the right training, patience, consistency, and approach, even our wild pup could learn! Laurie was incredible with our dog and so patient with our entire family. She gave us practical tools and techniques that we can actually use every day, and the difference was noticeable immediately. We are beyond grateful we found Laurie. If you feel like your dog is out of control or "untrainable," CALL! She is truly a dog whisperer, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!
