Canine Foundations

I adopted a Mexican rescue in April/20. After she she bit a friend, I knew I had to seek help for her fear aggression. I cannot say how happy I was to find Lisa at Canine Foundations. She came to the house, assessed my dog (a social wanna be who was timid and fearful) and put me on a protocol path to address the issues. While I had the right idea on positive training, it was Lisa who showed me the timing - the when and the how. Although we still have a ways to go, I can now trust my dog in so many situations that were previously scary for both of us. Lisa has also been great on all followup calls and emails. Her calm professional manner in helping me deal with set backs has been very supportive and educational. I highly recommend this company to anybody seeking to help make their dog the best it can be and live a full life in a happy, calm way.

I've had dogs my entire life but my spouse and I decided to adopt for the first time this January. Mercury was about a year old, clearly had never had any structure and a very high energy dog, all of which we were not used to and he was more than we could handle or train ourselves. After calling around to different trainers I was quickly drawn to Canine foundations by their knowledge and understanding within just a 10-20 minute conversation over the phone. Lisa was assigned to help us and within just one visit we had learned soooo much about Mercury's behaviors and the best ways to help him be successful. Unfortunately shortly after we started our training, covid hit and training took a bit of a stand still. We have had a few training sessions with Lisa and our dog has already come so far. Lisa has not only helped Mercury but also helped me gain my confidence with him. I am so thankful for Lisa and the rest of the Canine foundation's team and I'm excited to continue our training with them!

Lisa is absolutely brilliant! I've learned so much from her about our dog's behaviours and what he needs from me to be a better dog.

Monty is an anxious dog and responds to other dogs poorly. Lisa has taught us how to delay his quick responses so that he can be redirected and conditioned, in a positive way, to not react aggressively. This training has made him a more obedient dog all around.

We have had many questions over the course of Monty's training and Lisa has been there every step of the way. She is an absolute pleasure to work with!

Thank you! To Lisa and Canine Foundations. Don't know what we would have done without you!

After trying three other trainers with minimal success, Canine Foundations came recommended to me from a friend. Julie did an incredible job helping me to understand my dog, why he appeared aggressive and how to curb the behaviour. I now feel confident to have friends, family and children around Murphy. Thank you so much for your hard work.

We have dealt with both Lisa and Allison. They have both been fantastic. They are knowledgeable, understanding, and we have made huge progress with our reactive dog. We still have a ways to go but we will be doing it with Canine Foundations with us for every step. Reccomend to anyone who wants to understand their furry friend better, to help them feel and be better.
