What Makes Penn’s Canine Training Different
We are a company who loves people as much as we love dogs. We are growing a family of like-minded trainers who share our high expectations ourselves and the dogs we work with.
We don't do normal dog training. We offer only top end training and guarantee dogs will listen to the highest level in all environments no matter what is going on. They are still fun loving dogs but learn to flip the switch with the quietest command.
We have a range of programs ranging from advanced obedience to high-level protection, therapy, and service work.
We work with people who share our goals of having the dog be an integral part of the family who we trust 100% in all situations through proper training of the dog but more importantly proper instruction to the owners based on their goals with the dog.
