Spoke w Sunny today about bringing an adopted dog in for Service Dog training. I have been doing a lot of research and have some previous training experience with dogs. My first impression is that this is an outstanding organization, fully invested not only in the success of the dog, but the owner as well, which is equally important to lasting training results. The lifetime commitment guarantee, longevity of combined trainer experience, and the knowledge of Sunny and her colleagues, is very impressive and reassuring. More...

Sunny is spetacular! After we started working with Klever Canine the communication with my dog significantly improved, now my dog pays attention on everything that I say.

I cannot thank Sunny and Klever Canine Academy enough for what they have done for my four-pound toy poodle, Moose. Before training, Moose had started to show fear-based aggression. He would bite anyone who tried to pet him instead of giving a warning growl. It reached a point where I was afraid to have him around friends or family because I worried he might bite someone. Sunny took Moose for about five weeks and completely transformed him. He is now calm, confident, and comfortable being pet by multiple people at the same time. For a dog who used to be scared of the world, it is incredible to see him so relaxed and trusting again. Sunny is not only extremely knowledgeable but also patient, kind, and understanding. She knew exactly how to help Moose work through his fears and build confidence at his own pace. I am so happy to be reunited with him and to see how much happier he is. Dog training is a lifelong process, and as an owner I understand that it is my responsibility to continue following the plan and reinforcing everything Moose has learned. But thanks to Sunny, I now feel confident and supported. If you are struggling with aggression, fear, or any behavioral issues, I cannot recommend Klever Canine Academy enough. They changed my dog’s life and mine too. More...

I can’t say enough good things about Sunny. From day one, her approach was calm, confident, and incredibly effective. My puppy went from a wild ball of chaos on walks—jumping on everyone and pulling toward every dog—to walking calmly by my side and actually listening. It feels like a miracle, but I know it’s the result of real skill, experience, and an obvious love for dogs. So grateful I found her!! More...

I’m so grateful to have found sunny to train my dog luna. Luna has very bad fear aggression, she’s so anxious and has separation anxiety. She has gone thru very bad abuse in the past. Before knowing about Klever Canine Acadamy I was looking for different trainers to evaluate my dog. I found this one dog trainer he came over to my house to take a look at my dog and told me there wasn’t nothing he could do with her because she was so aggressive that she wouldn’t let him get near her or me so he couldn’t train her. To be honest I was so frustrated and sad because that is my dog and i honestly want the best for her. I didn’t give up and I found sunny when I saw how sunny worked and how her team worked as well I told myself if anyone could help me out with luna it’s definitely sunny and her team. From the few sessions I’ve had with sunny luna has shown some progress little by little I know luna will be a happy dog again. Thank you so much Klever Canine Academy and sunny for having love and dedication on what you do. More...

My dog Sushi just passed his Canine Good Citizen test thanks to Sunny, and now he is one step closer to being a well trained service dog! I would recommend Klever Canine Academy to anyone who needs dog training, as Sunny is very informative and breaks down training into very easy to follow steps. I have much more confidence in my dog now thanks to Klever Canine Academy! More...

I can't recommend Sunny enough as a dog trainer! When I first started working with her, my dog, Remy, was incredibly reactive and I was struggling to manage his behavior. But after just a few sessions with Sunny, I've seen such a huge transformation. She's patient, knowledgeable, and really knows how to connect with Remy. In such a short time, he's become more calm and well-behaved. Sunny's training methods are effective, easy to follow, and tailored to Remy’s needs. I'm so grateful for the positive change she's helped bring into our lives! If you're looking for a dog trainer who truly cares and delivers results, Sunny is the one! More...

My experience with Klever Canine Academy has been exceptionally rewarding. After navigating several training approaches and various other dog training businesses, I am profoundly grateful to have found Sunny. Her expertise is truly remarkable, demonstrating a level of insight and connection with animals that is, frankly, unparalleled. It became clear that her approach transcends standard training; her understanding of animal behavior is both comprehensive and intuitive. I was initially unaware of the distinction between just a trainer and a trainer that's also an animal behaviorist, but Sunny's ability to quickly assess and address complex behavioral issues in my dogs solidified my understanding of its importance. Witnessing her rapid comprehension and effective interventions has been truly transformative. Furthermore, discovering her background as a dolphin trainer, including her involvement in the movie, 'Dolphin Tale,' added another layer of admiration, particularly from my daughter. It is genuinely a privilege to have found such a gifted individual. Sunny's humility and understated demeanor, despite her extraordinary accomplishments, are truly commendable. I consider myself immensely fortunate to have connected with her and Klever Canine Academy. This has been a truly blessed experience. More...

My husband and I rescued a hound mix named Cooper at the very beginning of the year. Unfortunately, Cooper had heartworms and was going thru treatment that required him to be sedentary for the first 3 months after adoption; we couldn’t walk him for more than 10 minutes at a time so as to prevent his heartrate from raising too high. Cooper’s inability to exercise due to this treatment, combined with the fact that my husband and I both work from home, resulted in Cooper developing separation anxiety that eventually made it impossible for us to leave the house together without the consequences of house destruction upon our return. Cooper’s aversion to the crate got to the point that we actually had to physically put the create outside so that he couldn’t see it 😲 This is where S.G. Dog Training jumped in to save the day! 😊 Sunny came to pick Cooper up on 1 May 2022 and returned him on 30 May 2022. Prior to pick up, I had provided Sunny with a list of our top priorities his training should focus on, along with some ‘bonus’ items that could be worked on if they had time. Top 3: My husband and I would like to be able to leave the house, we wanted Cooper to be good in a crate, and finally, we wanted to be able to walk Cooper on a leash comfortably and not in fear of being tripped (Cooper tripped me the second time I took him out and we were only out for 10 minutes). While Cooper was away at training with Sunny & team, we received daily videos of what was being worked on showing how well Cooper was doing. I had a lot of questions throughout the journey as I’m very much a ‘why’ person, sort of like a 4 year old that asks ‘why’ about everything! 😊 Luckily, Sunny was very patient with me and answered every single one of my questions, providing me with an explanation that satisfied my need to know ‘why’ things are done this way or that way, therefore allowing me to reenforce those same behaviors when Cooper was returned. Her team, Julie, in particular, also went above and beyond for Cooper teaching him things that were way above our expectations and even sending him home with a couple of certificates! 😊 The day Sunny returned Cooper, she spent a couple of hours with us showing us all the things Cooper had learned and making sure that we were able to follow thru on the same commands/lessons and that we had the confidence to do so. At our request, she even jumped in the pool to show us how to work with Cooper to help make him ok with swimming. That’s still a work in progress, but it’s a start! Since Cooper’s return, not only are we able to have a crate back in the house, but Cooper goes in there willingly, several times a day! Erick and I have been able to resume our normal social life without fear that Cooper is either howling like a madman or destroying the house. It has been amazing! On top of that, Cooper is now a breeze to walk!! I’ve gotten several comments from other dog walkers while we’re on our morning walk about how well behaved he is. That makes me a proud mama!! 😊 Sunny and Julie are still available to us for questions, as I am still learning how to be a great dog mom for Cooper. Because of S.G. Dog Training, we are able to keep Cooper as part of our family for many years to come. I would recommend them to anyone looking for assistance for everything from behavior modification to everyday commands and tricks for their canine family member. They are extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any of your questions so that you understand why things are done the way they are done. Without S.G. Dog Training, I could not see how we would have kept Super Cooper in our lives. We are forever grateful for what they have done for us. I have no doubt Cooper feels the same way. 😊5/5 More...

I had the pleasure of working with Sunny and her dog training team for almost 2 years. In that time she demonstrated exemplary ethics, values and integrity throughout. Whether dealing with complex behavioural issues, or instilling rock solid obedience, her commitment to animal welfare always remained her top priority. I would throughly recommend choosing SG Dog Training for an honest assessment of what your dog needs and the clear client communication you will receive every step of the way. Put short, these guys do everything to get you results, they are GREAT! :) 5/5. More...

Sam and Sunny are an amazing duo for dog training. We found them through another company, but they have been absolute peaches when it came to training out dog, Bruno. Bruno had a lot of fears and no confidence in himself. He loves my family and his home, but was terrified of new people and situations. Sam and Sunny kept him for a month and gave us daily progress. He’s a completely changed dog and has learned how to be comfortable and calm around people in our home. I want to cry from how far he has come from the first day we got him and to everything Sunny and Sam did for him. They are magnificent trainers. We are so lucky to found them. Bruno was in amazing hands and it shows. We HIGHLY recommend this fantastic duo for dog trainers! We will call them if we need anything in the future. More...

I had been experiencing behavioral problems with my dog since I got her. I tried a few behavioral pet specialists coming to my house for in person analysis and training sessions, with no avail. After years of her incessant barking I found it difficult to handle myself. I contacted Sunny and Sam on September 24th for a 3 week obedience training period. After Sunny's initial review of her behavioral problems she decided that 5 weeks would probably be much more beneficial for Ruthie (my dog). Let me say her assessment was on point!! I found Sunny and Sam to be extremely caring, empathetic and very assuring that I could achieve success with her input and training. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. Her texts, video updates helped explain the reasoning for her particular training methods. I had much less anxiety with being away from my dog, thanks to her videos and communication. I found the proofing very valuable when she and Sam interacted with Ruthie separately. Lastly, she and Sam did excellent hand off training and answered my questions even after the hand off. After her training in September I was so satisfied with their love of dogs I used them again two weeks ago for boarding while I was out of town. When Sam came to pick up Ruthie she mediately went to Sam hopped in the car and went off for a week of her own vacation! I would highly recommend Sunny and Sam for any pet owners feeling like there is no answer or just if you need someone to take great care of your pup when you are out of town! More...

Sunny was fantastic! in a few sessions we were able to lock in on the skills we had, learn new tricks like an agility see saw and poles, and good walking behaviors. we have 3 other dogs and she also helped us get the pack functioning really well from not allowing displacement, better food manners and learning that dogs are also some of the best teachers for puppies!

We cannot convey how thankful & blessed we feel to have found and experienced the work of the amazing S.G. Dog Training with two of the best, Sunny & Sam. Upon wanting to add a puppy to our home, we came home with not one, but two puppies. The cutest, most lovable & energized puppies and where definitely DOUBLE THE FUN, DOUBLE THE TROUBLE! Lol We quickly realized that training was required. Before we hired Sunny & Sam’s services they spent time speaking with us asking questions about our pups, what their outside & inside spaces & days consisted of, what are concerns were etc. They answered all our questions as well. We sent them for a two-week training session and let me tell you, they came back as different puppies. The transformation was incredible! While in training, they send updates & helpful videos for future reference and when we played them, our two puppies got so excited and ran looking for Sunny & Sam just hearing their voices. Upon return after their training, Sunny & Sam do not just leave them off and say goodbye, they spend time showing what the puppies have learned and instruct us on how to successfully continue the accomplishments made. Sunny & Sam do not just care about the welfare of our beloved four-legged family members, they are genuine, honest and caring individuals who also care about their customers as well. Look no further and hire the best in the business, it will be the best decision you will make. More...
