What our clients say
"Loved everything so far"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. "After just one session with Teresa, we already see a difference in our Aussie Doodle, Murphy! As a COVID puppy, he struggled with socialization and would bark and growl at visitors. Teresa gave us practical tools to help him feel more comfortable, and we’re confident we chose the right trainer to guide us through his progress!"
- Bill
"My life changed forever"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. "Teresa transformed our walks from stressful to enjoyable! Barnabas, a high-energy rescue, struggled with severe anxiety and overstimulation, making walks nearly impossible. In just five sessions, he went from constant meltdowns to confidently exploring new places without overwhelm. Now, we can walk anywhere with ease, enjoying the world together. Teresa’s guidance has truly been life-changing!"
-Marilyn
"Highly recommend this"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. "Teresa at Canine Academy Online was exactly what we needed! Our dog’s leash reactivity had worsened, and we wanted to understand why and help him thrive. After 8 sessions and consistent practice, we now have the tools to handle walks with confidence. My dog looks to me instead of reacting, and we both feel less anxious around triggers. Teresa’s expertise, support, and passion made this an incredibly rewarding experience!."
