Your training isn't perfect. I did a review on you in 2021 and I'm training to figure out how it was removed. You pretty much robbed me for $5,000 dollars.

I left out that after 30 days he only walks on one side and not the other. He also learned placement but was taught stay of all things. the only thing he does that I didn't teach him myself is stop pulling and recall with the collar. You called my the next week you had him and said you needed help with him and sent him to I forget his name.

To keep things simple. You completely capitalized off me not knowing anything about trainers. You were in no way worth 5k for what you taught him to do.

You left me with the impression that you're a
What rhymes with grammar.

We have recently used Canine Peace of Mind for our 4 year old pit mix as well as our 6 month old Great Dane/mastiff mix. When we dropped our pit mix off we had an anxious and unsure dog who wasn’t able to walk on a leash or spend much time around our puppy. After 4 weeks with Canine Peace of Mind, he came back to us more confident in himself, able to walk on a leash and comfortable with our puppy. When we dropped off our puppy, she was very hyper and impulsive. After 3 weeks with Canine Peace of Mind she came back to us still very much that high energy puppy, but responsive to us and her pix mix brother. Both are crate trained, able to take great walks at our pace and able to be responsive off leash.

Kendra and Frida did an excellent job of working with both dogs and giving them and us the tools to be successful. They were patient and responsive to our concerns and questions. We received messages and picture updates while the dogs were gone and have continued to get ongoing help in person and through text with any questions or issues we’ve had since getting our dogs back! We trusted them with our dogs and recommend them highly if you are in need of any help at all training your dogs.

I’m so glad we found Canine Peace of Mind. Kendra and Lucas did such a great job teaching our pit bull Toby how to walk in and off leash, as well as place. They also gave us great guidance on how to keep going at home what they’ve been teaching Toby. He listens so much better now and we love the ongoing support that Kendra and Lucas have given us now that Toby is home. They also helped us to keep Toby from targeting other dogs. While Toby will probably never be a dog friendly boy we at least can take him out around other dogs without having him freak out and he is much easier to redirect now. Toby also learned not to jump in people and the way Kendra trained me to remember dogs feel energy I’m slowly building my confidence and able to redirect Toby much easier. Kendra and Lucas genuinely showed care for our boy and are really sweet people who I’m so glad we found! We plan to continue to stay in touch and take advantage of their boarding and refresher training.

Working with Canine Peace of Mind and Kendra has been an amazing experience! If you’re thinking about working with a professional dog trainer, look no further! My dog had severe anxiety as well as other behavioral issues. After the board and train program with Kendra, we are finally able to enjoy walks together and my dog is able to have a good time out in public for the first time! My dog is so well behaved in the home and with other people and dogs now too! Kendra not only trains your dog, but she then trains you on how to handle them and maintain what she has taught them. This is truly a personalized experience based on your dog’s needs. Our lives are exponentially better now and we are so grateful for Kendra and the amazing work she does!

My dog was an extreme case and I was skeptical that anyone would be able to help because she had a mountain of issues that I couldn’t work through on my own. I am still in shock of what a difference this has made. I would recommend Canine Peace of Mind to anyone, no matter the behaviors you’re trying to work through with your dog!

Our cockapoo Scarlett spent three weeks with Kendra and her team. She came home to us walking beautifully, with excellent recall and happy in her crate. Kendra's knowledge and understanding of dogs in general, and our dog in particular, helped us modify our behaviors and routines to keep her on track. Kendra has been so generous with her time and expertise, even well after the board and train. She and her team love dogs and want what's best for them. We are so grateful for their support!

Kendra and her team were the absolute best, I did a month long board and train and got updates along the way and when I picked my baby up she was a completely transformed dog- I live downtown and not only do I get a million compliments on how well trained she is but also I enjoy my time with my dog more and my dog is such a happy girl. Could not recommend canine peace of mind more!

Prior to coming to Canine Peace of Mind, Lincoln and I couldn’t go for walks, I couldn’t have company over, it was him and I cooped up and trying to get his energy out in our home for his safety and for the safety of others. Since he graduated, Lincoln has made many new human friends, has had lots of walkies, and is able to run around outside without fear of him hurting himself or others! He is a completely new dog behaviorally with his same goofy personality and I could not thank Kendra and her team enough!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Canine Peace of Mind. After a three week board and train session, our 1 year old German Shepherd came back a changed dog. He used to pull so hard while on the leash, that it was becoming difficult to walk him. He also would get distracted very easily and would not come when called. All that is gone. It is such a pleasure to be able to walk with him without a leash, play fetch in a field, and just take walks around the neighborhood. His behavior has changed even at home. We have recommended CPM to our friends and even our vet!
Thank you Kendra and team, you do an awesome job!
