Our philosophy is rooted in patience, empathy, and understanding, ensuring that our training methods are effective, ethical, and sustainable for long-term success. We are dedicated to promoting the well-being and happiness of both dogs and their human families through our tailored training programs and personalized approach to canine behavior modification.

Total Focus Canine operates with the belief that every dog is unique, We take into consideration factors such as the dog's breed, temperament, and learning style when developing a personalized training program. This allows for a more effective and efficient training experience, as the program is tailored to the specific needs of the dog.

Testimonials

  • 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!

    -Evan Glustrom - Current TFCA Service Dog Program Client

  • We love Total Focus Canine Academy! Katie has been so amazing to work with and me and my service dog in training are absolutely thriving under her guidance! We had a lot to correct from a previous trainer when we started with Katie, and i cannot believe how far we have come. Absolutely recommend for all you obedience, CGC, and ESPECIALLY for service dog training!

    -Kathlien Moore- Current TFCA Service Dog Program Client

  • Highly recommend, Katie is one of the sweetest people I know. Filled with so much knowledge about dogs I wouldn’t recommend anyone else

    - Sammi Turner, TFCA Graduate

  • 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
