Karen DiCostanzo recommended my company to a client with a very anxious dog. I went to several of her in home training sessions so the dog would become comfortable with me. I also learn proper techniques to handle this type of pet so the dog would get the best experience from our visits. I am so impressed with Karen's professionalism, understanding of canine language, the dog's well being and what is best for the entire family. I am going to partner with Karen on teaching my staff on techniques to make our experiences better so we can provide another level of service. I would highly recommend her and booking a consultation!

Christopher worked with me on customizing a program to fit exactly my needs and my busy schedule, all while trying to give me the best deal possible. Amazing! More...

Emily is wonderful. She's very patient with both my dog and myself as we both learn. I purchased the 8 week plan and came into it skeptical but it's been worth every penny so far. Highly recommend.

Canine Solutions is amazing! Loki has been going to daycare for three weeks and is doing so well. He's learning so much! The staff is super friendly and very professional. They definitely know their stuff when it comes to dogs. They gave me some great tips to help with potty training at home. The puppy social classes are really fun. I can't wait until we start the BA classes. More...

Great staff that is knowledgeable and unintimidated by any dog. My dog was a breeder dog at a puppy mill and she was more than a little reactionary. Canine Solutions gave us the tools we needed to have a successful relationship with our dog and more importantly they helped show us how incredible our dog could be. More...

We used Emily's board and train option while we transitioned between homes to work on one of our older dog's jumping behavior and both dogs' leash skills. She was amazingly helpful both in her training and in her education with us along the way. She has such a passion for animals and we were grateful to know our dogs were being loved while they were being trained. It's amazing to be able to take both dogs for walks simultaneously in our new neighborhood! I have also referred two friends to Emily and both have been extremely happy with their experiences as well. I am so grateful to have found Emily, our pooches are too! More...

I was a first time dog owner and I had no idea where to even begin with my hyper pup, there is so much information online and so many training options but when I found canine solutions, I knew this was exactly where I wanted to go! Their prices are affordable and their take on positive reinforcement training has not only helped my energetic lab/hound mix become mature and well mannered, but has also helped me learn exactly what it means to be a responsible pet owner. Emily and Christian are awesome! Thanks Canine Solutions!!! More...

Daisy is getting easier to control and calms down quicker than before her training at Canine Solutions. Emily has been so patient with her and I believe this is what has brought Daisy the most benefit.
She's not done yet so I'll follow up after Tuesday.

I can't thank Emily enough! Our puppy and older Frenchie are finally living in harmony together! Honestly, I never thought it would happen. We spent months working with both dogs using the techniques and education Emily shared with us and it's paid off. Our old Frenchie loves going on walks now and training time.

My dog is in great hands with Canine Solutions. Emily, Christian and their staff handle and train my dog with care. We use Canine Solutions to socialize our dog and to get good basic manners. Emily and the staff are so good at giving me tips on how to handle my dog right when they see an opportunity for better behavior. This facility provides for my dogs needs, for training, for socialization, for stimulation (I love the the agility area!). Emily is extremely knowledgeable! She is so skilled (she really knows her stuff) about dogs and dog behavior. The communication is abundant. Their patience is unending as I ask how my dog did every day in dogcare. I trust Emily and Canine Solutions wholeheartedly. I know when my dog is in their care that he is receiving the best care. It means a lot to leave my dog and have peace that he is well taken caren of, well watched and well trained. More...

Canine solutions did an Amazing job taking care of my pugs when I was out of the country for 3 weeks. I was able to follow them by all the videos and pictures posted on Facebook.
I could see that they were treated like family. They had time exercising, playing and even sharing the couch to watch a movie with Emily and her husband. I really recommend to all dog owners.
