Puppies and dogs are family, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my favorite family members. Yo and her team are amazing.

I had such a great experience with Canine Learning Academy! I attended their Halloween vendor event and brought my dog along, and it was so much fun. They hosted a dog parade and a live training demonstration, and I was honestly really impressed. What stood out most was how well everything was managed. There were multiple dogs around, yet everything stayed organized, calm, and positive. You could tell the dogs were not only under control but also genuinely happy and comfortable, which says a lot about the training approach. It is clear that Canine Learning Academy knows what they are doing and truly cares about the dogs they work with. Highly recommend!

We cannot thank Yo & her team enough for helping us with Niner! Niner completed a 3-month puppy school and 6-week Saturday puppy kindergarten class, and it has been instrumental in the success of adding Niner to our home. Canine Learning Academy has taught Niner skills and manners, and given us the tools to implement his teachings at home.

Our Kody LOVES all the staff at Canine Learning Academy. Yo and the entire staff have helped our little guy go from shy and skiddish to being so excited and whiny because he can’t get to the doors of CLA fast enough when we drive into the parking lot. We’ve also used their boarding services and have absolutely no worries when Kody is under their care. THANK YOU!

I’ve seen firsthand how incredible the team at Canine Learning Academy is! They truly care about your dog’s well-being and the relationship you build together. Their training methods are 100% safe and friendly no harsh techniques, just genuine care and good results. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do and committed to doing things the right way. What I have witnessed with them has been nothing short of amazing, and I’d recommend them to anyone who wants a happy, confident puppy and a stronger bond built on trust.

I rescued a dog from the streets and brought her to Canine Learning Academy to help her overcome reactivity and fear and to learn how to be a well mannered, confident dog. The difference from day 1 to today is like night and day. They not only train the dogs, but the owners - and that is really the key. They offer transfer lessons to teach me how to continue the training as well as extra classes over the weekends for advanced work. I recommend taking your pup here as early as possible to get a solid foundation.
