Pet Boarding Training near Swartz Creek

“We took our 8 year old dog, Dexter, to Canine Co-Pilots for their four week board and train program. We were apprehensive about starting training due to his age. In the past we considered training for his reactivity, but we were told that some dogs are “just like that.”This summer we finally took the time and researched trainers to see what our options were. We found the perfect fit with Canine Co-Pilots. From our first evaluation, the entire process was explained to us. We went over what our goals were and what to expect. For several years now, we have been dealing with Dexter’s reactivity. We got used to not having people over, turning the other way when we would see people approaching on our walks, and dealing with his barking whenever a package was delivered. Dexter has been home with us for a few weeks now and we have noticed a drastic difference. Some of the improvements include leash walking (no more pulling and the ability to walk past others), being around other dogs in group class (never something we thought possible), and the ability to place/stay when people not only come to the door but come into the house. Bryan did an outstanding job with training. He gained Dexter’s trust which was not an easy task at the beginning. As much as Bryan trained and got to know Dexter, he did the same with us. He took the time to explain how he was training Dexter and the reasoning behind it. He made us feel comfortable with asking questions and you could tell he wanted to help us in understanding. Now that Dexter is home, we still have the option to have private lessons and attend a weekly group lesson. It’s wonderful because you don’t feel like you are on your own after the board and train is completed. You still have a support system at Canine Co-Pilots. It has been a life changing experience and it is difficult to sum up everything it has meant and to express the gratitude. However, to put it simply…thank you. Thank you, Bryan, Jeff, Anna, and Laura.“

“Today I took my sisters dog Bella for a haircut and was hesitant to leave bella due to a horrible experience my older sister encountered at Petsmart which she was asked to never bring bella there. Oh boy what a great experience I encounter with such professional employee Grace, who I asked if bella gave any misbehavior and she said not at all. Bella was only scared but behaved well. Thank you so very much Happy Tails bella looks amazing“
