Happy Clients
“My dog Gypsy and I have been with the Canine Learning Academy for the last couple months and I can say without a doubt that it has been a life changing experience.
We had one-on-one training at the beginning of our journey and once our sessions concluded I happily accepted an invitation to the group training classes.
This was the best investment I have made in not only my dog but also myself. Yo, Julie, and Kurtis unquestionably love what they do and are masters of their field.
I have learned a plethora about dog behavior, enrichment toys, and different techniques that can be utilized in the best way for Gypsy.
I highly recommend using Canine Learning Academy, a group of highly trained professionals, because they welcome you and your dog with open arms into their canine family where we are free to continually build on our kinship with our furry friends.”

10-Week Virtual Class + Bonus Access To Our Rowdy Rover Online Course.
Do you have a teenage dog that lunges, snarls, growls, or barks at other dogs or people? Does your dog get so excited when seeing another dog that they pull you off your feet? Does your dog feel out of control and overreact more than usual? Are you afraid your dog might accidentally hurt someone who comes into your home? You are not alone; reactivity affects 1 in 3 dogs, and if this applies to you, we’d love to welcome you into our Rowdy Rover Reactive Dog Class, which you can join from anywhere in the world.
Dogs are not reactive on purpose; they are emotionally struggling with what’s happening in the moment. During this class, you will learn ways to better understand and communicate with your dog to empower them to make better decisions when presented with overwhelming situations.
Learn the proven strategies and skills for effectively and safely transforming your dog’s reactivity without force or intimidation. You and your dog will learn to handle any situation calmly using proven, reliable, scientifically based, kind techniques that work. You build focus and attention from your dog and learn to reinforce calm behaviors to get rapid and long-lasting behavior change. You will develop your confidence as a handler, regain control, and work as a true team with your dog.
