“I'm so happy we found Calm Canine Academy. We've been working with Ingrid on our rescue's multiple behavior concerns (dog reactivity, stranger reactivity, separation anxiety, and noise sensitivity) for a few months now and I cannot imagine going on this journey without Ingrid and CCA. Ingrid is incredibly smart, supportive, and insightful. She has helped us deepen our bond with our dog and troubleshoot a wide variety of issues. I love the virtual sessions, which allow us to keep our dog comfortable and relaxed while getting feedback in our home. Highly recommend booking a package for the "trainer in your pocket" service. I wish every person with a dog worked with humane and evidence-based trainers like the staff at CCA.”

“These digital classes are far superior to many in person classes that I've attended. It is clear that they have a passion for what they do and that their knowledge is endless.”

“After seeing multiple trainers in the past who only made Hudson's issues worse, CCA have put us on the right path to a happy hound. I can't recommend them enough!”
— Team Hudson
“I cannot recommend them anymore!! I have been working with Calm Canine on Zoom and Nicole is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with.”
