I can’t say enough great things about our dog trainer Rayna Kinney! Before working together, walks were stressful and unpredictable due to my dog’s reactivity. Now, Junior confidently sits, stays, and lies down on command—even in public settings—and no longer reacts to distractions. Because of this training, I can take him places I never thought possible—and I can even trust him off leash. My grandchildren can also come over now without him jumping on them, which has made visits so much more enjoyable and stress-free. It’s truly opened up a whole new world for both of us. We’re no longer limited—we get to enjoy life together in a way we couldn’t before. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, I highly recommend investing in a trainer like this. It has made an incredible difference for us! More...

We are so glad we found Courteous Canine LLC! Rayna did an amazing job working with our golden pup, especially on her impulse control and food-driven behaviors. She went above and beyond to help us coordinate care for her when we had an unforeseen situation arise on our return home day, and we are really grateful for her professionalism and knowledge. We can’t wait for our golden girl to keep having opportunities to board and learn with her in the future! More...

Courteous Canine LLC has done an incredible job with our 6-month-old high energy Australian Shephard, Ella. We chose the 3-week board and train program. With Ella being a puppy, we did not expect the improvement in her behavior to be as significant as it has been, especially in public places and her interaction with our older dog. The on/off-leash training has provided freedom to do the things we were shooting for at our lake property and other places. Her newly formed obedience has allowed us to frequently bring her to eat on busy restaurant patios. We get compliments on how well behaved our puppy is at all public places we visit. We highly recommend their training programs. More...

We sent Duke to Rayna for basic obedience and e-collar training and she taught him how to be such a good boy. Im so impressed. We can comfortably take him just about anywhere at 8 months old and not worry about his recall, even when we have him around horses. Definitely would recommend Rayna to anyone!! More...

We cannot say enough good things about Rayna, she truly exceeded all of our expectations and then some. Our dog Ernie, had been struggling with leash reactivity, jumping, biting/mouthing and is now a completely transformed dog. The results we’ve seen are nothing short of remarkable. He came back with skills we weren’t even expecting like e-collar training and being socialized. You could tell when she brought Ernie home, he had really bonded with her which told me she was patient, loving, and treated him like her own the three weeks he was there! Rayna didn’t just train our dog—she truly changed our relationship with Ernie. We can now take him on walks and out to patios/socialize without anxiety or fear of how me may act. He is now a confident dog! We are so happy we decided to invest in Ernie’s training and have the privilege to work with Rayna. We can’t recommend her enough! More...

Rayna was absolutely amazing!! My dog is a Doberman which can be a very difficult breed if not trained right!! I was very nervous about doing a board and train but once I came across Courteous Canine and met Rayna for a consultation I just knew she was the perfect person! She was very patient and sweet!! Even after Gemma came home Rayna and I still talk on a regular basis and she still answers any training questions that I might have!! I am very thankful for her and for everything that she has taught me!! More...

Rayna is awesome. We did the 2 week board and train for our boys Franklin and Beans. They walk better on a leash, know how to place and overall just listen better. She will reach out to check on them too which is nice and helps us feel supported even after the training is done. Highly recommend! More...

This was the most wonderful service!! We sent our sweet girls to CC for three weeks and she worked wonders. Both puppies returned fully potty trained, polite, calm, and so much more enjoyable. She was able to crate train and house train them both. They follow basic commands and they do what they are told. Rayna has followed up with us many times since they’ve been home. We appreciate her so much and we’d highly recommend her. She’s wonderful!! Thank you forever Rayna. We love our sweet girls so much!! More...

We did the 8-week off-leash private training for our dog, Elliot, and couldn’t be happier with our experience! Rayna is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She takes the time to personalize training to each dog’s needs, which we absolutely loved. Thanks to her, Elliot is now much more confident, neutral, and well-behaved. On top of that, we learned so much as handlers ourselves. We were super picky about choosing a trainer, and I’m so glad we went with Courteous Canine. I can’t recommend Rayna enough! 🤍 More...

Rayna does an awesome job training dogs. I was amazed at the results after just a few training sessions. I didn’t know what I was going to do with my hyper dog but she got him to stay on place and refocus. It was worth the money for sure. I thought I was out of options. Thanks Courteous Canine. More...

I worked with Rayna on my dogs anxiety outside of the home. I didn’t have high hopes honestly, as I had worked with some chain training places before. I was shocked with how well Rocky responded to the training even in the first lesson. He’s able to go out in public and pay attention to me now. I’m so happy!! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being a dog trainer offers a unique blend of rewards that make this profession truly fulfilling. From the satisfaction of seeing a once-anxious rescue dog blossom into a confident companion to the joy of witnessing the bond strengthen between a pup and their owner, there are many reasons to cherish this role. The opportunity to educate and empower pet parents, the constant learning and growth within the field of animal behavior, and the ability to make a positive impact on the lives of both dogs and humans are just a few aspects that make being a dog trainer a truly rewarding experience.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I reflect on the journey that led me to launch my own dog training business, it was a combination of passion, experience, and a deep-rooted love for dogs that served as the driving force behind this decision. Growing up, I always found solace and joy in the company of dogs. Their unwavering loyalty, boundless energy, and capacity for learning never ceased to amaze me.
Over the years, my interactions with various dogs, from different backgrounds and with unique temperaments, fueled my interest in understanding canine behavior and training techniques. I delved into extensive research, studied under seasoned trainers, and gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds.
As my expertise and confidence in dog training grew, so did the realization that I had a unique opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of both dogs and their owners. Witnessing the transformation in behavior and the deepened bond between dogs and their families through effective training further solidified my conviction to turn this passion into a business.
The decision to start my own dog training business was not merely driven by a desire for entrepreneurship but rather a profound commitment to provide tailored, compassionate training solutions that cater to the individual needs of each dog and owner. The opportunity to empower dog owners with the knowledge and tools to foster a harmonious relationship with their pets continues to inspire me every day.
Today, as I embark on this entrepreneurial journey, I am fueled by a sense of purpose, a dedication to promoting responsible pet ownership, and a vision of creating happier, well-balanced canine companions within our community. It is this unwavering passion for dogs and a belief in the transformative power of positive reinforcement training that propels me forward in this rewarding endeavor.

Mask Mandate: Both our staff and clients were required to wear masks during all in-person interactions to reduce the risk of virus transmission.

These changes reflect our commitment to providing a safe environment for all while continuing to help dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships through training.
