What are people saying about us?
“My 4 year old lab behaved like a 100 lb puppy - not in the cute way. From the first time Danielle communicated with me, I felt like she understood my frustration and what I wanted to accomplish with him. We had a few weeks of private sessions and I feel confident in saying our household has been changed for the better.”
- Jenny Hale (Private Lessons)
“Excellent trainer. My puppy has learned a lot of helpful behaviors.”
- Gloria Williams (Group Classes)
“Danielle is a miracle worker. Simply the best.”
- Keith Arteberry (Board and Train)
“Me and Rue loved working with Danielle during our beginner agility class. It was very stimulating for her and she always crashed out on the way home. Looking forward to more classes!”
- Michelle Eaker
“Lovely facility. Great atmosphere. Friendly, welcoming and positive environment!”
— Lee Ann Zerbian (Group Classes)
“Danielle is very organized, knowledgeable and professional. The training facility is an excellent environment for learning. We look forward to continuing our training with Canine Initiative in the future.”
— Christopher Smith
“We are only in week 4 but Remee and I are learning a lot. Remee is a 6 month old golden doodle who gets very distracted, but is very smart. Danielle is very patient and knowledgeable. We look forward to continuing our lessons."
— Rozelyn Smith (Private Lessons and Group Classes)
“If you are in need of dog training, we highly recommend seeing Canine Initiative Training!”
— Jennifer Kinsey, Rogue Collars (Group Classes)
“Danielle gives great instructions and good feedback. The class is small so plenty of one on one time and opportunities to ask questions with specific problems. Highly recommend!”
-Alice Kirkpatrick (Group Classes)
Piper absolutely adores Danielle and loves going to “school”. Piper has attended group classes to challenge her basic obedience as well as a board and train to build her confidence around other dogs. Danielle does a great job answering all of my questions and gives me the tools to help Piper have success in any environment. I will definitely be enrolling Piper in more classes in the future!
-Meg Baer
“We just finished our second class at Canine Initiative Training and plan to take more. Allie is a wonderful teacher and we always look forward to class each week. Highly recommend!”
— Kailey Klein (Group Classes)
“She is by far the best! Our Rottweiler is 3 years old and she helped us a lot with getting him to listen and follow commands. 10/10 would suggest to anyone!”
— Michele Frans
“If you're looking for a professional training program, Canine Initiative Training will check all of your boxes. I highly recommend!”
— Michele Frans
I was so nervous about introducing my dog to an e-collar but I needed to be able to gain her attention in ANY situation as she has... we'll call it "an attitude" with some people. Canine Initiative showed me how to connect the collar sensation to Me so no matter what is going on I can easily get my Mollie's attention back to where it needs to be with no fuss. Thank You!
- Amy Finley (Private Lessons)
“Danielle was incredibly patient, full of wisdom, and never made us feel incompetent for needing help in the first place. She continues to be so helpful even now that our official training program has ended. We might have to form an official fan club.”
“This is what life with a dog is supposed to be like!”
— Erin Mufford (Board and Train)
“Working with Danielle we saw an almost immediate change in behavior. From not being able to walk her in public where other dogs were present to now she is a perfect lady on walks. Danielle has been wonderful with Annabelle and communicated clearly to us on how to put Annabelle in a position to succeed.”
— Bill Clune (Private Lessons, Day Training)
“We had a great training experience and our dog Lola has done a complete 180. I used to get anxiety taking her for walks because of how she reacted to dogs, now we can comfortably go most places with her.”
