I’ve waited two weeks to post this review because I was too in awe of my dog’s progress with The Canine Mind. I enrolled my 1-year-old hound mix, Raina, in the two-week board and train program. And I’m telling you that this team is literally a group of doggie cognitive psychologists — and this is coming from a human cognitive psychologist.

Alex, Persephone, and Steven did an amazing job boarding, training, and taking care of our dog. In just two weeks our dog learned so much and came back to us with an entirely new skill set. The free group classes that follow the boarding are amazing and a great opportunity to continue practicing the training. I would highly recommend The Canine Mind to dog owners of any age. Our dog was 3 1/2 when they went to the Canine Mind and still was able to learn at a rapid rate due to the expertise of Alex and his team. Amazing!

I can’t thank Steven and The Canine Mind enough! I used to have an extremely reactive dog to people and dogs. After only 4 lessons, I already have a much calmer dog!
She is doing so much better with people and has gained more confidence. We still have work to do around dogs but I have noticed such big improvements!!
My fiancé and I had our doubts but I am so happy we decided to go through with training. I have cried happy tears with how much my pup has improved.
