Testimonials
Ashlie has really worked well with my fur babies the last few months! We have an end goal of having them pass the test and become a therapy dog with me and my mental health practice BUT I needed them to work on their manners first! Ashlie is flexible with my schedule and very patient with ME and the dogs! :) You will not go wrong with having her help your dog be successful!

Ashlie Taylor I would definitely recommend her to deal with any animal, she has a natural touch, very compassionate, and extremely patient. She helped me to be able to trim my Carly’s nails, who absolutely hated having them done, but with just a few weeks she helped me know the proper way, I am very pleased how she treats all animals

About the Trainer
Compassion For Canines is a force-free positive reinforcement dog trainer specializing in behavior modification for dogs with serious issues like reactivity and anxiety. They use only scientific methods based on the LIMA approach—least intrusive, minimally aversive—to address the root causes of behavior problems rather than offering quick fixes. The trainer teaches owners how to communicate with their dogs by learning their language, strengthening the human-dog bond without the use of force. While behavior modification is their focus, they also provide cue communication training for owners who need it.
They do not offer dog grooming, walking, boarding, or other pet services beyond training.
Their approach is centered on patience, compassion, and science, making them ideal for owners seeking ethical, long-term solutions for challenging behaviors.
