GOODBased on 60 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brandy Hamilton16 October 2024I live in Invermere and one of my friends was raving about canine united, so as soon as I was in the lower mainland I contacted them about my dog. He was so nice and helpful and gave me new tools to help me and my dogs. Now they are doing so much better. He knew I would not be able to come back to Vancouver for some more training. He told me that i could call or zoom anytime for free to help out, and I have and it's been extremely helpful. You can tell he loves dogs and loves his job. It's really nice to see great customer service. We don't get to see much of that anymore. As soon as I am back in the lower mainland I will be seeing him againTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dawn Hoch13 October 2024I wanted to get some training for my dog because i started noticing increased behavioural issues. Ryan was able to pick up on a few things I never even considered. He suggested getting lab work and xrays if I thought it could be pain related. He suggested this before dumping a ton of money on training, and low and behold my dog had many things come up in xrays that the vet said he's likely in a lot of pain. After just one training session my dog is already doing better. I look forward to more training sessions with Ryan and have hopes that things will continue to change for the better. Thank you Ryan!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tracy Johnson11 October 2024I recently used the expertise of a dog trainer from Canine United Dog Services and I am so happy I did. I learned so much about how my dog, Chi reacts in certain situations. I learned about movement and how to teach my dog the best ways to avoid her reacting in ways that could be aggressive towards humans and other dogs. I have learned new skills as well that I'm sure will create an even better bond with my dog and I. I definitely recommend Canine United to those whom want to learn more about recall, reactive training and definitely knowing more about how and why your dog reacts in certain ways. I tested what I learned after and my dog Chi is already doing better!

Ryan was amazing with my dog and our family. There were so many things in my home that were affecting my dogs behavior that I didn't realize. She is doing so much better now after the training. Thank you Ryan so much!!! :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Marleen Greeve4 October 2024Ryan is very caring, loves dogs and a great trainer.

Very professional, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I am Jnglwmn30 June 2024So pleased and satisfied with Ryan's expertise and knowledge of all things dog!! Currently this is the 2nd puppy Ryan has helped us with training and understanding. Having had several dogs in my life, all we had these many years were Obedience Classes. Well I am glad not to be going through that stressor anymore and the one-on-one instruction is far superior in my opinion.
