Testimonials
“Emily was our trainer and she was so sweet and it was so much fun. My dog learned 3 new things and was very tired on our ride home. Will definitely be going back! Love the classes, it’s nice with such a busy schedule to pick and choose dates and times that work!”
– Amelia N.
“Cher Sudyam is extremely gifted in her ability to create an outstanding environment for reactive dogs to thrive. She is knowledgeable in her field and her expertise has changed our lives… and our Monty (dog) too.”

“I highly recommend Canine Cohesion. I brought my dog in to learn tricks to help with her social anxiety and it was tremendously helpful! Cher was wonderful and put my dog at ease faster than I expected. We use the tricks she shared with us daily. I am so grateful to have found this place!”
