Testimonials
“We are so grateful for Liberty Canine Academy! Our rescue dog, Luna, had severe leash reactivity and anxiety. After just a few sessions, we saw a remarkable improvement. Their balanced approach and clear instructions made all the difference. Luna is now much calmer on walks, and we feel so much more confident. Highly recommend!”
– Sarah & Tom M.
“Our golden retriever, Gus, was a sweet but unruly puppy. Liberty Canine Academy helped us with everything from potty training to jumping and basic commands. The in-home sessions were incredibly convenient, and the trainers were patient and knowledgeable. Gus is now a well-behaved member of our family, thanks to them!”
– Emily R.
“I never thought my dog, Max, could be off-leash reliable, but Liberty Canine Academy proved me wrong. Their Board & Train program was a game-changer. Max came back a different dog – well-mannered, responsive, and happy. The follow-up lessons were essential for us to learn how to maintain his new skills. Worth every penny!”
– David L.
