Let’s get to know you and your dog as a team
Start with a complimentary one hour interview with the trainer of your choice. We’ll explore your dog’s history, your life together, and your main training goals. We may do some behavioral testing. Afterwards you’ll receive a quote outlining what services will best help you reach your goals, and options for moving forward.

We’d love to see them both! If you’d like to check on a spot with a little extra time email us at info@caninecomprehensive.com

No! We don’t need to see a behavior demonstrated where it happens. If your dog barks at home, we’re still fine to evaluate you at our facility or virtually.
As trainers, we generally don’t want to have your dog continue to rehearse negative behaviors. The more times your dog rehearses something, the harder it will be for us to resolve.

We recommend choosing the trainer whose schedule works best for you long-term. While we do share clients at times, we’d love to keep you with one person for continuity.
