CANIS - Dog Behavior & Training

I’ve had an absolutely incredible experience with CANIS. My 7 month Goldendoodle completed a 6-week board-and- train program focused on obedience and severe separation anxiety, and the transformation has been life-changing for both of us. He also attends their daycare and absolutely loves it!! Jamie, our trainer, is truly the best thing that could have happened to us. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine care for my puppy were evident from day one. She truly understands him—his personality, his anxiety, and exactly what he needed to succeed. The progress in his obedience, confidence, and ability to handle separation has gone far beyond what I ever expected. I cannot recommend this facility or Jamie enough. This place is worth every second and every dollar. I’m especially grateful for th

We enrolled our one-year-old Golden Retriever, Simba, in Hunter’s 6-week board & train program and I truly cannot recommend him enough! He has done absolute miracles with our dog. Before the program, Simba was extremely hyperactive, reactive, stubborn, and struggled significantly with listening to even the most basic commands. We were also dealing with serious resource guarding issues; to the point where something as small as a napkin could trigger him and he had actually bitten us because of it. He didn’t know how to settle, how to rest, or how to be calm, and walks were stressful instead of enjoyable. Today, Simba is literally a completely different dog. All of his previous behavioral issues are gone. There is no biting whatsoever, no resource guarding, and he immediately leaves or dr

Christiana is an incredible dog trainer. My little poodle, Peach, used to be very anxious and growly around people, but with Christiana’s help, she has become a calm, confident, and patient dog! The socialisation around people & other dogs has been so good for her. Peach absolutely adores Christiana, and I’m so grateful for the transformation in Peaches behaviour. I couldn’t recommend her more.

My three year old pit mix, Oakley, just graduated from his six-week board and train with Kaitlyn. It was a great experience all around. Brent and the whole team were great. Always friendly and super helpful. Kaitlyn sent weekly photos, videos, and report cards, which made it really easy to see Oakley’s progress and feel confident he was in great hands. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs and take their work seriously. What I loved most was how real-life the training was. Oakley wasn’t just learning commands in a quiet room, he was out at dog parks, coffee shops, and riding in the car practicing calm behavior in the real world. Kaitlyn also really focused on Oakley’s specific needs for issues we had been dealing with. He came home more confident, more relaxed, and way more respo

I had such a great experience with CANIS Dog Behavior and our trainer, Jen!!! She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with my dog, Stef. You could immediately tell she genuinely cared about Stef’s well-being and comfort, not just getting through a session. Jen took the time to understand Stef as an individual and made everything feel calm, supportive, and judgment-free. It never felt rushed or transactional; it felt like someone who truly loves dogs and wants to see them succeed. What I appreciate most is the sense of community CANIS creates. It’s clear they’re invested in helping dogs and their owners in meaningful ways, and I’ve personally seen how they go above and beyond to support people when they can. I’m really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend CA
