I was looking for training for my older German Shepherd puppy. We did the private, in-home lessons. The process to get information about what options were best for us and our puppy was so easy and smooth. The staff was so great and communicative. We had our in-home lessons with Brooke and she is simply AMAZING! Not only did she give guidance on how to best train Brutus on the areas that were the most important to us, she taught me and my family how to best work with Brutus so we can be the most effective outside of the training sessions. It was 100% worth it.
Courteous Canine dog training has been great for us. We have done classes up at their venue including puppy kindergarten and “reliable recall” – we have also done private training up there, as well as in home. The trainers are so good teaching positive reinforcement training techniques instead of shock collars and choke chains. They always follow up with emails and answer email questions as they come up. They LOVE dogs and want them and their people to be happy and safe. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog training.
We have three dogs and have been clients of Courteous Canine for over almost two years and have been extremely pleased with their services. From private sessions to aid with integrating our lab rescue, Brandi, into our family, to basic manners, to agility and advanced canine good citizens classes, from boarding to day care, the staff at Courteous Canine has been nothing short of amazing! Every time we pull up to the Courteus Canine property, our Brandi gets so excited about being there! When Brandi is boarded there or goes to day care, we receive videos and photos of her, and the training has been second to none!! Thank you to everyone at Courteus Canine for being so wonderful!
my dog, millie, always has a blast at class! we did the puppy kindergarten, puppy play dates, and a private dock diving lesson, and all were lots of fun! while we would love to do dock diving again, she has taken an interest in agility equipment so we might have to sign up for an agility class too! i love that they offer so many wonderful classes so that there is always something new to try! and to top it all off, they are positive reinforcement based so no aversive tools are used which really helps build that bond/trust between you and your dog!
