What’s better than a dog that does what you ask?
A dog that wants to do what you ask!
Sierra Canine Training LLC is a woman owned and run business. We have high standards and strive to produce happy, healthy dogs. We prioritize each individual dogs genetic, mental and physical needs for the best results. Our goal as a team is to give our clients the education, communication and handling skills they need to upkeep and expand on their dogs training for years to come. We find great joy when our clients take their knowledge and apply it to something else like teaching their dogs tricks, finding sporting events to partake in or competing in obedience competitions. Our programs are not intended for anyone looking for a quick fix with their dog but who want to understand their dog and form a healthier more reliable relationship with them. All of our programs are heavily reinforcement based as we would rather teach with food than with force. It is important to us that our dogs be eager and willing to participate consistently in training activities before any form of leash pressure or E-collar pressure is layered into the equation to help generalize and proof their behaviors.

Courtney credits the level of training she has been able to learn and apply through her own dogs for the success she has with pet dogs.
