Board & Train Client Reviews
“We have been taking our GSD puppy Ruger to BCA for a couple months now and just did a week board and train. Justin is our primary trainer and I can honestly say that our experience has far exceeded my expectations. Ruger has a hard time around strangers and strange places. Justin knows exactly how to work with Ruger and build his confidence. For the board and train- Justin and his wife took a lot of videos and sent them to me daily. I highly recommend Justin, Chris and BCA to anyone who wants to better their dogs obedience.”
-Brittany D
“We definitely recommend Backyard Canine! They have taught Max (and us) so much. We did several lessons and then a week of board and train. His leash walking was a disaster before he met Chris and now he’s doing great. Chris, Misty and Justin were all very friendly and made us feel so comfortable when we left him to board. We are amazed at the progress he’s made in such a short time!”
-Kristen C
“I want to give a huge shout out to Chris and Justin they were absolutely amazing to work with. Yesterday I saw my pup for the first time in 2 weeks! I received several videos of Grant daily plus explanations of what they were doing so I could copy it when he came home. They seriously treated grant as one of their own and I couldn’t be happier with his progress. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for obedience training!”
