Caninestein Dog Training

Stephanie of Caninestein Dog Training friggin ROCKS! Ever since my dogs first puppy class, Noelle has had the most thoughtful, loving and fool proof training a dog could have. She’s 6 now and has had lots of fun and obedience training with Stephanie along the way! And I have a blast at class also– Stephanie teaches in a modern, down to earth and humorous way that all of us humans have fun while we learn too! Lots of varied classes and private lessons that keep it all so fresh. I hope that many dogs and people to come have the good fortune to meet and study with Stephanie and Caninestein Dog Training–

Stephanie of Caninestein Dog Training is an awesome trainer! She is extremely caring, friendly and knowledgeable. I have taken both private lessons and group classes with her as I ended up getting a golden retriever puppy with way too much energy for me. I was headed down the wrong path with how I was handling Kayla, causing both of us to get more and more frustrated. After working with Stephanie, I learned how to better manage the situation so that I was working WITH my dog instead of against her and our relationship began to improve almost immediately!
I also love that Stephanie has competed (quite successfully) in practically every dog sport with her own dogs. She knows what she is talking about from actual experience, not just theory and she is always willing to answer questions and provide helpful advice.

I don’t have high enough praise for Stephanie of Caninestein Dog Training and her training techniques. We adopted our dog a year ago and he had many issues. In the weekly group training classes, he has made such improvement from being the growly, barky, fearful dog he was. Stephanie is always happy to help and advise on any dog issues that arise. Being first-​time dog owners, Stephanie has also shown us that WE can train our dog the behaviors we desire. Our dog Harley LOVES Stephanie too!

Stephanie is so insightful and knowledgeable about dogs’ behavior — and has a keen insight into humans, too! Even in group class, she knows exactly what each owner and dog need to be set up for success inside — and outside — of class. Her sense of humour and naturally caring, personable personality make training so much fun — for human and dog! My dog just loved to see her — he’d just wiggle his giant lab tush and his tail would not stop wagging the entire time with stephanie. She’s the best!

Caninestein is the epitomy of what dog training is today! Stephanie uses positive reinforcement and games to make training fun for both humans and canines! We love Stephanie’s energy and upbeat attitude! Our hyperactive Border Collie mix Murray has benefitted tremendously from working with Stephanie. Several years ago when we adopted Murray from a local shelter at the age of 5, he was an intact male, undersocialized and pulled like a mack truck! Under Stephanie’s tutelage, today we are able to take him anywhere with us and he is a fantastic companion. With the recent arrival of our twins, Stephanie has also worked with our family to ensure a smooth transition between Murray and the babies. Stephanie has made us better dog owners and given us so much helpful advice and different techniques to try. We have had so much fun training with her and highly recommend Caninestein Dog Training.

Our high spirited Labrador Retriever has completely benefited from Stephanie’s training. We humans have also had nothing but a positive experience in working with Caninestein! Stephanie trains in such a way that not only do we have fun, but our dog absolutely LOVES it and has learned so much. Stephanie really seems to care about our dog and having the training sessions be as fun as they are helpful and informative. We highly recommend Caninestein Dog Training… and so does our wonderful (and well mannered) doggy!!!

Stephanie of Caninestein Dog Training has been a miracle worker with my pugapoo. He’s a pup and has needed a lot of training. With Stephanies guidance, care, and personal attention, my Bonzo is turning out to be an amazing dog. I highly recommend using Stephanie’s services because not only is she professional and caring, she’s a lot of fun too, which makes all the difference.
