I just finished the foundational skills class and loved it! Our instructor Bethany was very helpful and I could tell she cared deeply about all of our dogs. I highly recommend this class if you’re looking to teach your dogs foundational skills - it is a great way to connect with your dog while learning new things!

We had an excellent experience with CIC'd Foundational Skills class expertly headed by Bethany. I highly recommend considering classes at CIC. They are organized and set you up for success beyond the classroom. Their pricing is also very reasonable.

My rescue pup and I completed the Big Feelings class and it was a total game-changer! The small class size and pace of the class were perfect for steadily building confidence each week. I finished the course feeling more prepared and confident to navigate the world with my "big feelings" pup. Would highly recommend CIC and this class!

The dog trainers are great! So many available services and they train using positive reinforcement. We are doing puppy classes and there are always 2-3 people helping out the lead trainer to answer questions and give feedback. They don't just teach your dog the basics, they help both of you build confidence together.

CIC big feelings class is like no other, they willingly help reactive dogs in creative ways. I couldn’t find any class or trainer to work with my German Shepard. They welcomed us with open arms and we’ve seen so much progress. DIESEL LOVES YOU GUYS :)
