Kaiser Canine Academy is a dog training business founded by Abbie Kaiser, a certified dog trainer with a background in education and psychology. They offer fear-free, science-based, positive reinforcement training for dogs of all ages and needs, including one-on-one sessions, board and train programs, and boarding services. Their training focuses on building a strong bond between owners and their dogs, improving communication, and helping dogs become mentally stable and confident.

Their signature board and train program includes daily training, socialization, exercise, and three follow-up sessions with owners to ensure long-term success. All services are designed to help dogs thrive in modern environments using up-to-date, research-backed techniques.
