  Thought at first the price was high. Boy was I wrong! After seeing how many trainers they had, how well they knew their work, how happy the dogs were, and how well cared for, I knew I was actually getting a bargain. Their motto "we play with dogs, we train people" is tospot on. After getting both of us trained, I found my buddy so much easier to deal with at home. And we are not just dropped once the 2 week boarding and training is over. They follow up, they ask how you're doing, offer to answer any questions you have. So reassuring! And I mustn't forget the techs...they have a hard job too and I am very grateful for everything everyone does to take care of the animals and take care of the owners. Y'all are a blessing! Thank you!

  I know it can be hard and a little scary to drop off your pooch to someone…. That’s exactly what we felt. But I will tell you that Mark, Ali, and ALL the trainers, groomers, and staff have the biggest hearts your puppy could ever dream of learning from. I had our puppy there for 2 weeks for board and train, and not only did she get a solid foundation, but we got to learn as well. This is so important for you and your dog! The team took our lead in what we wanted our little one to learn… and then helped us along the way. My dog came home confident, happy, and still my very sweet and loving puppy. I am so thankful to be a part of the “pack”. Our whole family is very thankful to have this first foundation for a lifetime of love and safety! Cali Bear 🐻 will grow into a loving, confident, and happy pup, while we humans will continue to learn how to teach her! Thank you all, and we look forward to seeing you soon! The Rondeau Family

  This is a great place to have you and your dog trained. All the trainers Lindsay, Ali, Haley, and Emily treat you like family. They not only train your dog, but train you to continue the training when you get your dog home. Everything was explained as to why certain things were important to continue doing when you get your pet home. MARK also does a great job of explaining why certain things are done. You could tell they all really cared about you and your dog.Thanks to all of you.

  Our experience was great with the people at the advanced canine development. Mark the owner was careful to instruct us and what we should look for in the goals that he had for our little dog peanut. We can’t say enough about Lindsay, her trainer, which kept in touch with us every day, and even came to our house after the two weeks we’re up for additional support. We would highly recommend their services for anyone who has behavioral problems with their dogs.

  I am so proud to share my story of meeting Mark and Ali. I lost my beloved Oliver, my best friend two years ago after 16 years together! A month ago I was ready to adopt another Shelter Dog. I went to Suncoast Humane Society, they handed me an IPad and say look at the Picture and tell me the ones you want to meet and we will bring them out. There was this dog named Doug, he came to the Pen and laid on my feet and looked at me like please take me home! Guess what I did, no questions asked. Turns out he was a 10 month old Lab Mix, we were best buds!! But wait, he’s a 10 month old Lab puppy mix. And he was very glad to have a home. I reached out to Mark’s organization, and said I need help, and the invite us to come, and I met Mark and Ali on the visit. And no pressure, just passion from both of them on where I was with my new puppy and where I could be with my baby for a lifetime. I left Dunlop there that night for 2 weeks, so much inclusion on his training, so many scheduled walks to train us two legged’s. I will never forget the first thing they told me “ We play with dogs, we train humans” and it’s so true. Ok my story is getting long but I am now the proud papa of a 10 month old lab puppy, is he perfect, no, am I perfect no, but I promise you even after his training Mark and Ali communicate with me daily. These people really care!! I am a Tennis Pro/ Coach for my entire life, and I thought I was a great coach, these folks are GREAT COACHES!!! Mark, Ali, Dunlop and I thank you and love you both so much. Here’s how I will close this, I have new lifelong not just Dog coaches but friendships Pat
