Total Focus Canine Academy is amazing - I have no idea what we would do without them! Katie has been with us throughout the entire process (she even helped us pick our puppy from the litter to make sure we got the dog with the best personality for training). We've dropped Bonnie off for multiple weeks of boarding with TFCA and have done weekly training sessions for about six months so far. Katie is kind, knowledgeable, easy going, and always willing to bend over backwards for her clients. Our puppy is eight months old and she is the best puppy I've ever been around and that is 100% thanks to Katie and Total Focus Canine Academy! I can't wait to see what other magic she'll work with our dog. I can't recommend Katie and TFCA enough!

TFCA is hands down the most well rounded training program you can find whether it be for obedience or service dog training. Katie gives your dog her total focus allowing them to give you their best. Katie is a direct, effective and patient communicator. She helps you and your dog through the highs and lows training (because, let’s face it there are lows). We are grateful to TFCA in their help navigating service dog training
