I found Clever Pups to be extremely helpful and crucial for setting my dog up for success. I would recommend Clever Pups to anyone with a puppy; it truly shaped my dog for the better. Naturally, once my dog completed Clever Pups, I signed my dog up for Core. The Core class is diverse and well-structured, designed for adult dogs that have a stable foundation in training—a description my adolescent puppy did not fit when he started Core. Overall, Core was an amazing class with well-versed trainers that I would take my dog to again now that he's older. My only recommendation would be creating an older age minimum (at least 12 months). Altogether, Clever Canines is an amazing establishment built with dedicated staff, thoughtful relationships with clients, and a clean, well rounded building. If you think your dog will thrive and find success in a group class, I couldn’t recommend Clever Canines enough!

Clever canines has made being a first time dog owner a pleasure. Their trainers are always happy to talk through what's new and happening with my pup, offer advice or suggestions, and the training is next level. I am so pleased with my puppy's behaviour after completing the pupstart and core programs, and I won't be stopping there. I'm looking forward to seeing what more my puppy and I can learn, and as he becomes an adult dog, how we can set and achieve goals in experiencing freedom together.

We just completed puppy school last night for our Golden Retriever Kashmir and wanted to send Thanks for everything! Great facility! Special thanks to both trainers Lindy and MJ! Not only school for puppies but for all age dogs and day care! Highly recommend!

I have just taken my third dog through training at Clever Canines and I have enjoyed every class. The difference between your dog before training and after is pretty amazing. There is knowledgeable staff that can answer all of your questions and reassure you that nothing your puppy is doing is unique. I would, and have, recommended the training to anyone with a puppy or even an adult dog that could use a refresher.

We completed the Hybrid Pupstart where we did classes 2x a week on zoom and also some in-person. This fit our lifestyle perfectly as we could join Clever Canines after work from out laptops. I was originally concerned about Sophie not having the socialization, and not getting the hands on attention from the pros but, we found the online learning environment worked better for us for two reasons: 1) our dog wasn't distracted by the other dogs and 2) I could write things down and keep working with her after the training was over. We also brought Sophie to Dayschool a few times where all the training is reinforced and she had amble socialization. Clever Canine did an amazing job coaching us through video (Tracie didn't miss much!!!) and they are incredibly responsive and supportive. Any questions were addressed either online, offline or in the parking lot 🙂 We would choose hybrid classes again. they are the best value.

I am disappointed, my wife set up an appointment for our dog we recently picked up. She is a 1-year old Sheppard that was going to be an RCMP service dog so, when we set up the appt we told them she has not been dog socialized. When we brought her in for her first visit in less than 10-minutes they advised my wife she was too excited about other dogs and they wouldn't work with her. I have no issue with the company deciding they are not going to take our dog but this possibility should have disclosed in the original phone call. Based on our expectation of her spending the day we made other arrangements. Had we known we would have planned accordingly and it wouldn't have created the extreme inconvenience and missed time from work as a result.

I have never underestimated the responsibility that owners have in raising a well-mannered dog. In turn, the commitment is a big one. It took our family years to get here, and when we did Clever Canines was there to share the responsibility. They have lead us, guided us, supported us and modeled for us what raising a dog needs to look like. Our relationship with Clever Canines goes way beyond a couple of training classes, it is genuinely an invitation into a community of like minded, pupper loving people. I get compliments on how well behaved our 8 month old puppy is all the time, and I know that we didn't get here alone. It takes a village. A pupper loving village.
