We Can Help!

Practical Training. Proven Results.

Calm, Composed & Confident Canines Program

Our Calm, Composed & Confident Canines program is designed to help your dog develop the confidence and emotional resilience needed to navigate the world with ease. Whether it’s enjoying peaceful walks, staying relaxed at the vet, or feeling secure at home, we’ll guide you in building a stronger bond with your dog—one based on trust, understanding, and lasting calm.

Does This Sound Like Your Dog?

  • Barking, lunging, and growling at people, dogs, or noises

  • Fearful of new places, strangers, or situations

  • Overwhelmed on walks—like they just can't handle the world

  • Constantly on high alert, never able to fully relax

  • You’ve tried obedience training, but it hasn’t “fixed” the problem

  • Your dog is stressed & anxious when you leave the house

"Thanks to Teresa’s guidance, my dog now looks to me

instead of reacting—our walks are less stressful,

and our bond has never been stronger." ~Annie R.

It’s not about making your dog “listen.”

It’s about helping them feel safe.

  • Obedience training won’t “fix” reactivity—your dog needs emotional support.

  • Punishment won’t make your dog less afraid—it will only confirm their fears.

  • Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time.

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!."

- Annie
