Authentic Canine Training

Samantha was excellence with Crickett it was Cricketts first time at a puppy social and she loved it. Thanks to Samantha.

I had such a good experience, Kelsey was awesome and really helped with my dogs issues. I highly recommend.

Samantha is great at facilitating these sessions and for her information! The length of sessions is great, longer than others in town which means more time learning. The space includes fun objects to interact with as well as just the puppies. I am learning about my dog specifically in a controlled way. Also, the puppy LOVES being in the pen.

We enrolled our 15 week old puppy in the Puppy Summer Camp with Authentic Canine and I can’t say enough good things about it. We are first time puppy owners and having this extra boost of socialization at such a crucial age and with the guidance of excellent trainers has had a huge positive impact on our dog. She’s better in her crate, on leash, in new situations and at the vet. Our vet even commented on how well behaved she is on our last visit. Kelsey and Samantha were fantastic and kept us updated with photos and more importantly behaviour and new experiences. I highly recommend this program to any new puppy owners.

I took my puppy Detmer to Puppy Kindergarten with Kelsey and I can't say enough good things about the class! The curriculum focusing on socialization and intro to important puppy skills like recall and body handling is thoughtfully put together. The handouts sent as homework were very helpful and well timed to having a new pup at home. Pups got some time to play and then we each had own space in designated pens for the rest of the lesson. This was great as it made it easy to listen in class while my pup focused on chewing a bone between exercises. It also made me feel very comfortable as it was easy to maintain social distancing. Kelsey is a very knowledgable, kind and helpful instructor. Would highly recommend this course to puppy owners, new and experienced! I'm excited to see Kelsey branching off as Authentic Canine after so many years running her training through K9HQ!
