On 8/25/2025 Lisa Huerd had this to say:
I rescued Reece my yellow Lab when he was 10 months old. Although he was a very sweet boy and knew some things, there was a lot for him to learn. I reached out Canine Solutions and were able to schedule him in. He went for two weeks and I’m sure I missed him more than he missed me. :) Dawn and her staff were AMAZING! Dawn would send me videos of his progress and I was absolutely amazed to see what he had learned in just a few short days and still had so many days left. When I picked him they went over everything with me so I could make sure to keep up the same training he learned. I picked up a completely different dog at the end of training. I couldn’t recommend Canine Solutions enough. Reece can run free ant our families farm and I have no worries that he won’t “come” back to me when called. Thank you Dawn and staff for helping me give Reece an even better life! Testimonial written by Lisa Huerd on this site.

On 6/26/2025 Dave and Cori Tapp Tapp had this to say:
This is a glowing review. Why? Dawn deserves every bit of it. She is a trainer that other dog trainers recommend. We, and others, refer to her as "the dog whisperer". When you see the results of her training, you understand why. Our dog, Rango, is just shy of 4 months. He's an English Cream lab that attracts a lot of people wanting to pet him (he's pretty stinking cute). After his training with Dawn, he no longer jumps up on people as they approach, nor does he "puppy bite". These are in addition to all of the other training on her list of what she does. When we went for our "go-home" lesson, we just shook our heads at the changes in him and his ability to listen/obey. Dawn also truly cares about your dog. You can tell it's not just a job: it's her passion. We told Dawn it was tough leaving our guy for two weeks, but it was easier knowing she was taking care of him. If you are in need of a trainer, you need look no further than Dawn and Canine Solutions.

Canine Solutions 2 week board and train obedience session is a must if you are struggling with your dog. We have a very strong willed Mini Bull Terrier, and with Dawn's experience and guidance, she brought our boy into line. Simple guidelines to follow at home, and follow up. She kept us up to date along the way and made sure we were comfortable with all training choices. Her facility is remote and clean, and I felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. I would absolutely recommend Canine Solutions to anyone looking for obedience training.

On 5/6/2025 Casey Kraft had this to say:
Great trainer and would really recommend. My dog came for two weeks and I was given great updates. She was a very timid dog going into the training and came out with a big leap in her confidence. Dawn has simple training techniques that you can continue at home and will help train on what you recommend. Canine Solutions is the way to go.

On 2/5/2025 Laura Gibson had this to say:
Our 6 month old puppy came back from a 2 week stay at Canine Solutions happy and confident. She learned and mastered many skills that will last her a lifetime. We are so thankful for Dawn, her love of dogs, and her expertise!
