Janna M. - Raleigh
"We interviewed 3 companies (all referrals from friends) before deciding on Canine Training Co. They were easy to work with and we trusted our pup was in good hands. When he came back he was a new man! Our main thing was teaching him right from wrong. They nailed it! If you have a puppy and you’re about to pull your hair out?! Call them!"
Nicole C. - Apex
"We reached out to Canine Training Co. with hopes of helping train our one-year-old pup Butters' and boosting her confidence. Butters was initially leash reactive and prone to stress in certain situations. What sets Canine Training Co. apart is their profound understanding of canine behavior. We wholeheartedly recommend Canine Training Co. for anyone seeking expert support in dog training. The positive impact it has had on our day-to-day life with Butters is truly beyond measure."
Kristine D. - Cary
“The Canine Training Co. fantastic! They were able to accomplish more in 2 weeks with my dog than I have in 2 years. Luke had absolutely no manners and would bark at other dogs. He now walks politely on a loose leash and ignores any dog he sees. It is so nice not to have to be so tense when walking him! Thanks Canine Training Co.!!”
