Dawn is simply amazing! Her program worked wonders for our pup. It really helped him control behaviors and firm up the skills he already had. You can tell Dawn cares greatly about dogs and will treat yours like her own. She also works a lot on socializing with other dogs, and seeing the results of that was amazing. For the work that Dawn puts in and how great our results were, the cost was extremely affordable. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone check out Canine Solutions!

Dawn completely turned my puppy around! I am so grateful that I found her. We did two weeks of boarding and training, and it was very reasonably priced. She was a great communicator and kept us informed throughout the entire process. You can also tell that she really loves and cares for the pups. I am so happy with the outcome! My dog listens, behaves, and I now know exactly what I need to continue working on with him. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for help with their dog!

Dawn was so amazing with my dog and eased my anxiety of her being gone for 2 weeks. She sent me pictures, videos and updates everyday and I loved seeing my dog so happy and cared for! She learned so much and the class I did at the end was so helpful In continuing her training at home!

On 4/6/2026 Jessica Peterson had this to say:
Canine Solutions was the PERFECT fit for our needs! We adopted a sweet one year old doodle mix and needed training & boarding. Dawn was so good about updating us with what Turnip was learning, as well as teaching us how to continue her training as apart of everyday life with a dog. Our family highly recommends Canine Solutions!!! 🐾
