What recent reviews say

Owners consistently see dramatic shifts in their dogs after working with Kieli: anxious rescue dogs become confident, reactive dogs walk calmly past triggers, and uncontrollable puppies settle into well-behaved companions. The experience goes beyond training the dog; Kieli teaches owners how to maintain progress at home, stays available for questions afterward, and adapts to each dog's needs, whether it's behavior modification, reactivity work, or basic obedience.

Praised for
  • transformative behavior change
  • builds owner confidence and understanding
  • personalized approach to difficult dogs
  • trainer Kieli's expertise and patience
  • follow-up support and responsiveness

Common questions

What is a board and train program?
Dogs stay at Canine Training Co. for 2-4 weeks while trainers work on obedience, reactivity, housebreaking, and leash manners. Owners receive follow-up in-person training sessions afterward to learn how to maintain the dog's progress at home.
Does Kieli work with rescue dogs and difficult behaviors?
Yes. Reviewers detail success with rescue dogs (anxious, abused, reactive), multi-dog aggression, fear-based reactivity, and dogs at risk of rehoming. Kieli evaluates each dog and tailors the program accordingly.
Will I get updates while my dog is in board and train?
Yes. Reviews mention consistent updates and photos sent during boarding stays.

Owners report their dogs show lasting behavioral change months after board-and-train, with staff providing daily video updates and explaining training methods. Trainers like Javier, Amy, Kat, Breanna, and Cam build relationships with dogs and stand behind results, offering follow-up support and willingness to extend programs at no extra cost when progress warrants it.
