Jason at Canine Scholars is awesome! He worked with our dog Finn when Finn was around a year old. We learned all of... the standard commands and how to walk without a leash. It was well worth the time commitment and the cost. The entire process was excellent. We highly recommend the service.read more

Highly recommend Canine Scholars. Super happy with the training and knowledge Jason provided. I had a high drive... Labrador Retriever puppy. He was about 6-7 months when I called (after 2 weeks of crying every day bc puppy blues are a real thing when you are not equipped with the right tools). My. Dog. Was. A. Lot. Jason walked us through leash pulling, bad behavior, bad habits and gave us the right tools to really help my dog thrive. I wanted to be able to walk my dog off leash with full confidence he would recall. I wanted to be able to take him into public and social settings. I wanted him to be polite and gentle with my 75 yr old parents. For us, it took about 10 sessions with Jason and a lot of practice, but I now have the dog I wanted. He is only 13 months and has improved so much. He’s wonderful outside on walks. He is confident and polite. We moved to a very large, very loud big city and he has adapted fabulously. He knows exactly what he needs to do when he’s instructed. Very happy with the training received.read more

There aren't enough stars to give Canine Scholars! We did their in-home training sessions with our American Bully,... T-Rex. They helped him build confidence, master commands and ultimately had him walking off leash at the end of our training together.Their ability to explain the training process and psychology was easy for us to understand how dogs process and think. Again, we can't say enough good things about their training and program!read more

We brought our Brittany, named Ruby, to Canine Scholars in October 2024 for their two week adult board and train. Ruby... was ~9 months old and we were having a lot of trouble raising and training a working dog, especially since she was also each of ours first dog! Ruby came back so well trained from Chris and the others at Canine Scholars and we genuinely had a sigh of relief.Chris has also been our go to “first responder” over the last year and a half whenever we have questions or concerns about Ruby’s training / personality / etc. With consistent training and using the techniques Chris taught us, her obedience keeps improving and it’s so fun to watch :)We’re planning to get a new puppy (another Brittany) within the next year or so and there’s no doubt we will be sending the new pup to Canine Scholars!! Here are some cool pics of Ruby’s place trainingread more

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Canine Scholars. Jason is knowledgeable, patient, and... thorough!He helped us work through leash pulling, reactivity, and off leash training. He really took the time to understand our dog’s personality and our goals and was always patient with answering all of our questions (which there was many!).The results have been incredible and he is always willing to help when more questions come up.If you’re looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your success, I highly recommend Jason. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog and our family!read more

We have been so happy with the board and train services our dog received with canine scholars. Pretraining, walks were... getting nearly impossible due to constant pulling. Now, our dog walks perfectly with each member of our family, young kids included. The training has allowed us to include our dog in more activities making him truly a family dog and a member of our family.read more

Canine Scholars was recommended to me by a neighbor after I asked how and why her dog was so well behaved!Both Chris... (adult training) and Michael (puppy training) trained all three of our large breed dogs. We have been very pleased with each training session.The dogs have been well taken care of, well treated and returned to us in great shape. Even though it is training and work our dogs have 'enjoyed' their time away. This is evident by the dogs excitement when they have seen Chris and/or Michael weeks/months after training for boarding. More importantly though, the dogs are returned to us well trained and we are armed with tools and tips on how to reinforce and maintain the training at home.Highly recommend!!read more

McClain Goodwin
We sent our 8 month old puppy to the 2 week board and train with the goal of a well trained dog. When it was time to... get Luca back, Chris spent one on one time with us showing us all Luca has learned, how we can implement it, and how we can correct it. Walking Luca is so much more enjoyable now! He now walks by our side, pays attention to us, and is way less reactive to people and animals walking by than he used to be. Luca is now able to “place” in a busy park! Nothing we could’ve achieved without Canine Scholars.They are very in tune with dogs and have so many tips and tricks. This was a great investment! Having a well trained dog is invaluable! Thank you Chris, Jason, and Michael for all your help!!read more
