Countryside Canine is a small, facility-based dog training business located in the Central Valley of California, offering board and train programs, private and group lessons, boarding, daycare, and light grooming services. They specialize in personalized training for dogs of all temperaments—from playful puppies to dogs with aggression or reactivity issues—using structured, one-on-one sessions with limited group exposure for socialization. Their board and train programs range from 2 to 8 weeks, with customized rehabilitation plans for serious behavioral challenges. They emphasize hands-on owner education, providing video updates, detailed instructions, and follow-up sessions to ensure long-term success. All dogs receive individual crate space, bedding, water, and daily training, with added services like e-collar training, medication administration, and travel pickup/drop-off available.

The business is led by Olivia, a trainer highlighted in testimonials for her compassionate, consistent, and results-driven approach. She uses e-collars as part of balanced training methods, educates owners on their proper use, and tailors programs to each dog’s needs. Clients praise her responsiveness, honesty, and ability to transform difficult behaviors while building trust between dogs and their families.

Additional services include dog daycare (half-day and full-day options), pet boarding with tiered pricing based on behavior, and grooming (bath and nail trim). They serve surrounding areas with travel fees and offer flexible scheduling during weekdays and limited weekend hours.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients must contact via email or phone to inquire. An initial consultation is required to assess the dog’s needs before enrolling in board and train or private lessons. For board and train, dogs are picked up from the client’s location or a designated meeting point. Owners receive video updates during training and a full training session upon pickup to learn how to maintain progress at home.
