Nice space and off- street parking. They start the class with puppy intros, then she gives tips, then does a little training for commands.

Fun classes with clear curriculum. I've learned a lot to be a better dog owner and specific skills to work on. Our instructor, Erin, was well-prepared and positive. Pup and I are enjoyed the first class! Our second class at a different campus had a less dynamic instructor who offered less information. Still good, but less informative.

We took our 6mo old puppy to Obedience 1. Only 1 trainer was supposed to teach the class, but we ended up with 3 different trainers over the course of 6 classes. We chose Sadie after observing her lead a class, but she moved to a different location after 2 sessions and mentioned that Brittany would be be teaching the rest of the class, which would have been fine. But we go to class 3 and Courtney is there instead. Class 4, I believe Lauren shows up and says she'll be there for the next two classes. So we had a total of 3 different trainers teach Obedience 1. By the last class, less than half of those who started the class bothered to show up to complete it. If we had learned something completely new for our puppy from this level 1 class, it would have been a silver lining, but the bare basics were taught in this class and we had already spent the month before covering almost everything that was taught in class. At least we got to use the class as reinforcement training for what we taught our puppy with distractions. Ultimately not worth the time or money.

Just started a leash aggression course. Erin was a great communicator. The place was all set up and ready to begin on time. Looking forward to future classes. Now to do our homework!

I have a highly intelligent Portuguese water dog with a strong work drive. He is quite the challenge to keep mentally stimulated! I have taken classes with him at several different facilities/companies and my favorite trainers have all been at The Canine Coach in Saint Paul. They are very intuitive and pay close attention. They always use positive reinforcement, marking behavior techniques and are highly effective! For someone with a very demanding, high maintenance breed, I REALLY appreciate that! My daughter has also used The Canine Coach for her pitbull mix and has nothing but good things to say about all of her training experiences with them. I would go out of my way to use them for my training needs in the future.

Great place. Large room with plenty of space for our dogs that still require some social distancing. Enthusiastic trainers who seem to really like what they do. Dog training is a must for a well behaved pet. Highly recommend this place.

What a great place to bring our new dog to learn a few things. I will always go through CC going forward!

Amazing trainers, well planned out. Came here with my 5 year old doberman/gsd cross to work on reactivity. These classes are designed to create positive interactions for the dogs, help the owners feel in control and I have yet to see a pair that hasn't improved if they have attended all sessions.

When we got our dog the first thing we did was sign up for obedience courses. The Canine Coach was one of the top results, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We're 3 weeks into level 1 and our dog has already made marked improvement. The trainers are friendly and more important, knowledgeable. We're looking forward to continuing our dog's training with them after level 1!

Can't say enough good things about this place! Tami that was our teacher for level one, I feel we got more than what we paid for out of the class. Wasn't sure if I'd learned much going into this but I really learned a lot about training my dog.

I love the canine coach. We've used their group courses with it dog and she loves them. Great instructions and I like their training methods. We have also used their individual training at our home when our dog became scared to go outside. One session and some (a lot) practice and we had get confidence back up and anxiety reduced. Last instructor we had was Amanda and she was fantastic. Very patient and fun class. Highly recommend

Our trainer was really knowledgeable and kept us on a good schedule. She modeled how to teach each behavior and then gave us time to practice and get tips for improvement.

We were with our Puppy for the Level 1 there, we couldn't come for the last session, because they did canceled it (the coach was sick)I tried to talked to one of the Coach via Email, we didn't got another day for our last session. So we paid $120 and did not received any Certification. I told them we are moving out of State, because my husband is in the military. I never heard back from then. Super unprofessional !

Sadie is very helpful and knowledgable. She works at a great pace and really seems to understand and work with each dog while involving the group.

The company and classes are very organized. The instructor was great too. Lost a star because the parking situation is not great.

We've taken several classes with the Canine Coach and each has definitely been worth the time and cost!! The instructors have all been great and adapt the course to the needs of the dogs each session.

Amazing experience with level 1 obedience class! We recused a 5 month year old puppy who only knew how to sit. Now she stays, comes, watch me, and down. We are going to continue to practice the skills and then sign up for 1.5 obedience training in the near future.

So I paid for an in-home training but I’m not happy with the training service at all. I have a Dutch Shepherd and she already know how to sit and eat treats. I just want her to be able to walk without pulling the leash and not barking on other dog. However, the training didn’t even do a thing. Basically, when one of their trainer came to my house and trained my dog, all the trainer does was put a leash on my dog and told me to tell her to sit. The trainer also came five minutes late and left early as well. The appointment was at 12pm but she came at 12:05, which I don’t really mind then she left at 12:58. This is not even the total hours they mentioned online or told me like they say. I was unhappy with the training because all the trainer did that half hours was telling my dog how to sit which she already know that. A wasted of money. No! My dog is not a “dangerous aggressive dog” like you described. There’s no such thing as a dangerous dog. The only that is dangerous in this world are human beings so stop saying my dog is dangerous. If your trainer who I didn’t wanted to name it here, says my dog is dangerous then why she didn’t mention it in the first time she saw her? Why bothering reschedule and wasting my time? Why don’t she just tell me straight that oh your dog is “dangerous” and I can’t do it. Blah blah.....So that I wouldn’t waste my time and money. I can give my dog to a professional animal trainer and she can walk without barking or pulling the leash in one day. Y’all just want to take money out of animals lovers. But yeah I know it’s a business so what can I say. You got my money and I got nothing back. So don’t go out there telling people that their dogs are “dangerous aggressive” when some of of the most professional dog trainers on TV didn’t even describe any dogs as dangerous.
