Canines & Company Dog Obedience School

Our dogs love going to day school at Canine and Company. They come home happy and tired. Great staff very helpful. Amazing Trainers for dogs and helping train the handler as well.

I cannot say enough good things about Erika and Canines & Company. I was referred to Erika and her online training program from one of her previous students. I was unsure of what to expect doing training via video, text and voice notes, but it has been amazing. My rescue mutt Red and I are able to work at our own pace, while checking in with Erika to make sure we are on the right track. It’s particularly helpful because I can send a quick video and she replies back quickly with notes to improve or to let us know we are doing it right. With Red being older and not knowing his past life, being able to work at our own pace and move to the next level when we are ready instead of weekly, like a traditional in-person class, it takes the pressure off and I feel like we are making improvements in the right way. Plus the one-on-one approach means we are working on building a bond with obedience but also addressing his specific issues. On top of that, the approach of “firm, but friendly” resonates so much and is working. As I said, I can’t say enough about the process, approach and Erika specifically, it’s been fun and helpful.

Been with canine and company since my oldest dog was roughly a few months old. Since than we have taken roughly 16 courses and attended their day care.Now I have a new addition to my family which Erika helped me select by picking the best breed to work with my life style and current dog. I never thought I would be adding a second dog into my family till I worked with the crew of canine and company.They have taught me many things and helped me set up my home in an environment that is healthy and educational for both my dogs.They are always available for questions.

Incredible people and amazing trainers!! They are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive with all your questions and concerns. Their classes are very informative and hands on. I personally have done their classes, one on one private training sessions and have my dog enrolled in their doggy day school and it has been entirely worth it. My dog gets very excited when we are pulling up to school.I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!

If you seek a happy dog but not a well trained dog you often get neither. If you seek a well trained dog but not a happy one you often get both"If you want a happy dog

I want to say a big thank you to Erica as I know that your involvement in the dog world has touchedmany owners and their dog’s lives. Just mention your name and people have beautiful, positive stories about you and your relationship with their dog. I’m so glad that my choice for dog training was Canine’s & Company, and that my path and Liba’s path crossed yours. Your passion for dogs seems limitless. I am awed and impressed by your ability to read and understand the personality of each dog.Thank you for your time and patience,Christine & Liba

Canines & Company has been an absolute blessing in my life. I only just started taking my dog, Isla there over a month ago and it has changed both of our lives. I can't recommend it enough and after having some pretty discouraging experiences with other trainers in town I am so happy to have found such a wonderful place. Gordon taught the puppy fundamentals class that I was in and did an amazing job. His approach is easy to follow and very thorough. In addition, he constantly motivated me to keep working hard and was very inspiring. I am looking forward to taking more classes in the new year and accomplishing goals. Thank you guys so much!

I've trained 4 dogs over the past 15 years with Erika at Canines & Company. Erika has a gift and understands people and animals on a level that very few can. She selects her co-trainers for the same quality. Canines & Company doesn't just teach you how to train your dog, it teaches you to understand your dog and build a relationship based on trust, play and respect.

We have trained 3 corgis over the past 17 years with Canines and Company, and can't say enough good things about Erika (including genuinely caring about and helping us train our first very challenging corgi). Now we are back in training with an 8 month corgi and have had the benefit of learning with the rest of the team: Gordon, Tanya, and Renata. Like Erika, these trainers are knowledgeable, supportive and kind and make us all feel like we and our dogs are A students. The day school with Sam has also been fantastic, as she continues the training and socialization with our pup. We feel lucky to be part of Canines and Company.

We've been taking classes with Erika and her staff for over a year and are so very pleased with the progress that our puppy and ourselves have made. We are continually amazed and grateful for Erika's knowledge about dogs and her willingness to share that knowledge with her students.
