We cannot say enough about Clever Canines. We did a ton of research before getting our first dog, watched a million training videos on YouTube, and carefully considered what breed would match our active lifestyle.

Some might say that we took a big gamble when decided on a border collie, and at that, ended up with a very high-drive working dog from a sheep farm.

We knew from the beginning that we wanted a very well-trained dog that people would be impressed by. A friend recommended Clever Canines and we enrolled in their online puppy classes due to the pandemic. We really felt that we learned a whole system to train our dog, which was not something that snippets on YouTube were able to deliver.

A few months after finishing, we enrolled in Core class, which was conducted as combination online/in person class. This was an excellent format for our very distractible dog, as he could practice skills in the living room, we could actually listen to the lessons, and then we had a chance to practice every weekend surrounded by other dogs. Our dog really enjoyed the social opportunities at day school as well.

We have now moved to a remote coastal town in BC where most people let their untrained dogs run around freely. We get so many compliments on our little guy s behaviour. He still has so much work to do, but at 10.5 months, he s already much better behaved than 90% of the dogs we run into. We feel like we learned the tools and understanding to continue training him on our own, and have continued to see improvements with consistency.
Thanks Clever Canines!
