Canine Coaching

Dottie is great! She helped my puppy open up and shes doing a great job with the drills we were taught.

I began training classes with Canine Coaching when my now 3 year old Golden Retriever was 5 months old.  Although I am an experienced dog owner, I was having trouble understanding what my puppy wanted and needed.  Old school training methodologies rooted in simple obedience recommended by previous dog trainers were backfiring and I needed help.  My veterinarian recommended that I call Dottie.From our first training session, Dottie and Vinny were amazing.  They worked to understand each of my dogs behaviors and tried different strategies until we found the right fit.  They work to make training classes engaging, fun, and individualized. They truly care about understanding and helping every dog. We continued to do six additional training classes with Canine Coaching, including the therapy dog class.  When I take my dog out to the park, restaurant or in town, I always receive compliments on how well behaved she is.  I credit this to Dottie and Vinny.When I adopted a second dog, I immediately called Dottie for help and advice to make this transition go as smoothly for both dogs as possible.  The advice I received was wonderful and took each dogs needs into consideration.  Both dogs get along well and the newest dog is enjoying his training classes at Canine Coaching.I recommend Canine Coaching to every dog owner I meet!

Dottie is very knowledgeable and patient and takes the time to really help you understand your puppy’s needs while giving you the appropriate tools to help your puppy succeed.

We are so thrilled with Canine Coaching! Everyone is learning so much. Its been wonderful for both child (owner) and pup! Highly recommend!

I met with Dottie for my dog that was having issues with aggression. The consultation cost 150 dollars. She instructed me to email her with any questions and to schedule our next session. I emailed her after the consult several times to schedule a next session and let her know some of the training exercises she suggested were not working. I never received a response from anyone. Really unprofessional to take a clients money and then never follow up with them. I would recommend going somewhere else.

Dottie and her team have helped my several of my dogs become good citizens. And some havent been so easy! I would recommend her to everyone who needs training c(and their dogs, too!!)

We had a chihuahua that was very aggressive with strangers. When our son was born, Dottie helped introduce our baby to the new baby and turned a scary situation into a great situation. After working with our dog he grew to love our son like he loved us despite being a stranger at first.

My pup was enrolled in their Basic Manners and i can say that its a fun class! Unlike some other school we have attended which makes you do same thing over and over again no variations, canine coaching do different drills in the classroom and they also give you exercises to do at home. Plus, the trainers are great.

Dottie is extremely knowledgeable and a great trainer. I highly recommend.

Had a great first day .Dottie is very pleasant . Looking foward to my next class with my Maltese Olivia

Outstanding. Dottie is very dedicated to her clients. She is so knowledgeable.

Dottie is awesome! Truly speaks dog and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Great teacher. We learned a ton

Dottie and Vinnie are so helpful and Im greatful for them teaching me.

Outstanding !!!! Can’t say enough about Dottie’s ability to guide you and train you to raise your pup to be a Canine Good Citizen and a joy to live with. Her insight and years of training make her the go to for behavioral issues. On top of that she is always willing and able to help a rescue and ensure they succeed when an adopter needs help. We love Dottie and think the world of her ability !!!
