I had such an amazing experience during my time at Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers. I learned so many valuable lessons and got to work with dogs off all different sizes and drives! The instructors here were crucial in my success during the program. They were such a great support system when things felt impossible and really pushed me to do the best I can!

This school has been a great experience. There was up and downs. There was a lot to learn, lots to do. Time management is key in this school. Would love to have a cafeteria or something on the campus to get food instead of going to the store.

Highland Canine's School for Dog Trainers exceeded all of my expectations. I came to the school with no experience or knowledge of the dog training industry and graduated from the Master Dog Training course confident I was ready to start a new career. The extensive curriculum (everything from basic obedience, behavior modification, scent work, police and service dogs, trailing, dog sports, etc.) was challenging but explored many facets of the industry which helped to guide me on to a new career path. Beyond working with the dogs, the curriculum helped touch on the basic needs of operating your own business and provided many examples of how to overcome the hurdles small business owners face. The instructors in their respective disciplines are some of the most knowledgeable people that a new dog trainer can learn from, and the opportunities Highland provides to interact with other people in the industry are invaluable. Every staff member was helpful, professional, and passionate about dog training. The campus locations provided an exceptional environment to learn in. The local area is beautiful, and Highland is connected into the local community to provide a broad level of experiences. I would not hesitate to recommend this program to anyone looking to find a new career path or broaden their already existing experience. You will come out of the program having learned something new.

I cannot say enough good things about Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers. All my expectations were surpassed. Not only do you have in-depth, hands-on practical training and testing with a wide variety of dogs, but you also get the science behind why the training works and what the dog needs. You’ll be taught how a dog thinks and how they learn. The instructors are world class, and want you to succeed. They make themselves available for any problems or obstacles you encounter while training a dog on an assigned task. I really enjoyed the real world experience we got during the Master Training Class. Throughout the 24 weeks, there were many times we had to work with a shelter dog, or people in the community who had pets with behavior issues. We even had an all day behavior clinic, where the public brought their dogs. We evaluated the problem(s) and recommended treatment plans. Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers continues to do research projects expanding the knowledge of the behavior of dogs. I was thoroughly impressed and very happy with my time at The School for Dog Trainers. I left confident in knowing I was armed with the skill set needed to help my clients and their dogs have better relationships. If you are serious about training dogs, I highly recommend Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers.
