We always take our Shiba here when we go on vacation because of how great they are. He's very temperamental and getting on in years and they're so good and patient with him. On my most recent trip with a busy morning check-in the owner let our dog hang out in an air conditioned enclosure rather than wait in line on leash. Much appreciated.

If I could give this place negative 100 stars I would. First the place is dirty and the staff is rude and disorganized. My dog was so dehydrated when I picked him up and his genital area was swollen. He was acting like a dog that had endured a lot of trauma. God knows what they did to him in this place. NEVER going there again. This place should be closed down.

I had grooming done, although the staff was friendly my dog smelled good, as far as cut, it was not heard. Her cut was uneven, inside ears were not cut, the chest and stomach area was not groomed, and her paws still had tangles on them. Maybe training and boarding is there strong areas. I paid and tipped before seeing.

I was so nervous to leave my puppy for training, but knew it had to be done as she was starting to become too much for us to handle. The owners and staff were so genuine, answering all of my questions and concerns and explaining the processes very well. My dog experienced an amazing transformation, and is now able to play with other dogs and go for walks which we were unable to before. I continue to come back for boarding and grooming as this is the only place I can trust, and my Maxi is always so happy to go there!

I did a lot of research before selecting a training school. I'm very glad I went with canine college. This was an excellent puppy kindergarten class. The teacher, Robin was very knowledgeable about dogs and did a great job teaching new puppy parents. I highly recommend.

My German Shepherd is currently being boarded there for a few weeks. He went in a aggressive towards people but we just went to visit him the other day and he's like a new dog. Before he had to be muzzled every where we went. Now he's around the owners worker's other customers no muzzle. Jack loves it their they take him out of his pen he gets to be outside with other dogs all around him. I was most impressed when I handed the leash back to the owner to put him away and Jack sat right down for him. I could not be happier. They're patient friendly and understanding. Bottom line highly recommend by me!

If you want your dogs to be trained in a loving, caring environment, Canine College is the place to be! We needed to train our 2 huskies to be service dogs, and after I called so many facilities I called Canine college, and Robin told me:"We are it" (cause I had said I think you guys are it) What made me made this decision is how thorough they are with all our questions and concerns. They were able to fit us in right away and we started our 3 weeks residential training.
During our 3 week me and my husband was sick and unable to make one of our weekly lessons, they even sent pictures to make us feel better! After 3 week, what a big difference! I have never seen my huskies this behaved. You can tell they are doing this with joy, their tails wags with each command. With how they interact with the trainers, you can also tell how they are loved and care for. I can't say enough great things about this place, I am forever grateful with what Canine College did for us and our pups. Thank you!
