Testimonials

“I can’t recommend Tri Canine Campus enough! After working with two other dog training companies and spending over 12 weeks (& hundreds of dollars) trying to help my Frenchton, Yoda’s reactivity toward other dogs, I was at my wit’s end. Within five minutes of our very first lesson, Yoda pretty much stopped barking at other dogs — something I never thought would happen. Tri Canine’s behavior modification program truly works, and they take the time to understand the ‘why’ behind each behavior. The trainers (Mike, Jule & Ashley) are so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping both the dogs and their owners succeed. Now Yoda can even play with other dogs under supervision, which still amazes me (pictures for proof). If you’re looking for reactive dog training, behavior modification, or obedience training, Tri Canine Campus is hands down the best place to go. I drive 35-40 mins each way just to take him there because it is 1000% worth every minute in the car! They’ve completely transformed our lives!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Tri Canine Campus! We were really struggling with reactivity and obedience in our three-year-old German shepherd/border collie, Roo, and are so lucky to have found Tri Canine this past spring. Since then, we’ve gone through Obedience 1 and 2, as well as reactivity classes, and Roo’s progress has been incredible. Our walks are so much calmer, our home life is more peaceful, and he stays focused and confident when we’re out and about. Mike, Jule and the rest of the staff at Tri Canine are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about helping both dogs and owners succeed. They’ve taken the time to understand Roo’s personality and challenges (all while being extremely accommodating with one-on-one training and group classes), and gave us the tools to work with him in a way that’s effective and positive. When we were feeling discouraged about Roo’s reactive behavior at the beginning of training, Mike and the team were so reassuring, made a training plan for us and stuck with it every step of the way, and we’re so grateful.”

“Our pup Toby put Mike and the Tri-Canine Campus team through their paces. Some dogs need a little extra time, and this one has a little extra spice. However, He can now safely meet, greet, and play with other dogs. Go camping up north, and join in on pack walks. He still gets Reactive on occasion, but with the training we have received as owners there is a comfort in our learned skills to read our dog, control him safety, and maintain the relationship we need with our dog. This team of trainers was willing to put in the work from day one. They researched new/different methods for our specific needs when he stalled out, and helped us finally reach a place of peace. They provide daycare in a safe environment while also helping your dog socialize. As long as you are willing to put in your portion of the work at home, they will keep working with you to reach your dogs potential. Reactive dogs are frustrating, and will make you want to give up. BUT this group of people never made us feel embarrassed or like our dog wasn’t worth loving. We know our pup is loved and cared for while he is there with how excited he gets seeing all of the employees. We are headed for our 1 year anniversary with this team, and wouldn’t trust him with anyone else.”
