Testimonials
“Last week, he had to go outside while I was working in our office. I opened the door and let him out into the backyard. A couple minutes later, I heard him barking in a way that sounded different from his usual bark, so I went out to check on him … and discovered that the pest control guy who had been over in the morning had left the side gate open and Evanston had gone into our unfenced front yard! I was panicked, so rushed toward the gate yelling, “Evanston, come!” And next thing I knew, he was right there next to me. It worked! Hooray!”

“We have had a fantastic experience with Jill— no exaggeration, our very first conversation with her profoundly improved our relationship with our pup. She listened and understood our situation in a really intuitive way. She is a great communicator— with us and with our dog. Most important, she has helped us understand our dog. Positive, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, She meets you where you are with empathy, humor, and an effective training program. We can’t recommend her enough.”
– Janet M.
“We worked with one on one Brooke from Courteous Canine to train our German Shepherd puppy. Brooke was fantastic in helping us to focus the training to our needs as a family and what is best for our puppy. She involved my kids in the training and was very thorough in her teaching. Brooke followed up training sessions with summary emails and further videos etc to continue the training. I will use Courteous Canine in the future and highly recommend them.”
