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

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

We were thrilled to discover Jason and his company, Canine Scholars Training. Our golden retriever, Hadley Rose started her... training with Jason at 6 months old. Jason met with us and listened to our goals and then worked to achieve them. He is truly like the "dog whisperer!" Hadley immediately took to him and followed his direction. We too, as puppy parents listened to Jason's insightful advise and worked with Hadley. It was so convenient for Jason to meet with us at our home in Hadley's normal environment. We too, traveled to local parks to add in plenty of distractions so Hadley could really learn how to behave in public arenas. If you are looking for a top quality and trustworthy company to train your dog, look no further than Canine Scholars Training. I highly recommend. Even after our training goals were met with Hadley, Jason is still available for questions and advise. You will not regret your decision!Carpe Diem!

Jason and his team at Canine Scholars gave me back my sanity. Our huge, lovable, energetic pup quickly became a part of our... fam but in order for him to stay - we needed serious help! After puppy training and a two week intensive training, we got back a puppy who no longer jumped on people, accidentally ran over kids, placed on command and could be walked without pulling or dragging (and so much more). I’ve been able to enjoy life with our pup more since his time with Jason and his team. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them.read more

Just finished our 3rd board and train with Canine Scholars. We have been so impressed with the change we see in our dogs... after just 2 weeks. Our newest dog is a 1 yr old husky/shepard rescue from the shelter. He had no manners and was very cautious of strangers. I was worried that sending him away for training so early would make him more afraid, but it did the opposite. He came back to us a confident dog! It is such a joy to take 3 well behaved dogs out on a walk together and we couldn't have done that without the great training by the Canine Scholars team! Thank you for taking such good care of Hatch, Willow and Hank!read more
