There Wasn't a Gold Standard in Dog Training.
So We Built One.
Command Canine was created out of necessity, not opportunity.
Our Founder, Chelsey saw a serious problem in the dog training industry, and couldn’t ignore it.
Our mission is to set a higher standard for what dog training should look like: deep expertise, proven processes, and a level of care and professionalism that’s (shockingly!) rare in this industry.
This isn’t just what we do. It’s why we do it that counts.
The Problem(s) That Needed Fixing
Dog training in the U.S. is still an unregulated, inconsistent field.
If you’ve looked into dog training before, you’ve probably seen it all: companies promising quick results, trainers with wildly different methods, and a sea of conflicting advice.
There are trainers who use outdated techniques to suppress behaviors without understanding them. Others tell you to just avoid the problem or manage it forever, with no real plan to fix it. Even when the training is decent, the customer experience is often an afterthought.
That’s not good enough.
Not for you, and not for your dog.

This isn’t Theory. This is Field-Tested, Proven Expertise.
We know that no two dogs (and no two families) are the same. That’s why we don’t follow a “one size fits all” method. We dig deep to understand your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle.
The truth is, you’re not just hiring a dog trainer; you’re trusting someone with your home, your best friend, your emotions, and your hope.
We take that seriously.


Our trainers are deeply educated, relentlessly curious, and have years of hands-on, high-stakes experience with complex dogs and overwhelmed owners.
Through our Keeper & Kin Project, we rehabilitate dogs with severe fear, PTSD, and trauma histories, specifically former research dogs who have been bred, born, and lived their entire lives in animal testing facilities.
When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a trainer. You're choosing trainers who know what to do when things get messy, know how to pivot when a dog doesn’t respond as expected, and we know how to guide you through it all with clarity, confidence, and empathy.
That’s the standard we’re here to set.

We’re Not Like the Last Dog Trainer You Tried.
That’s the Point.
