"Clever Canines has been providing life-saving information to dogs and dog owners that had not been accessible before in the community for nearly 19 years. Their approach to creating a fulfilled and enjoyable life with their dogs is based on knowledge and understanding. They assist their clients with knowledge about changes in development, individual behaviours, and reactions by learning and analyzing canine communication and signals. Every team member at Clever Canines has completed extensive training to qualify them to serve you. Their intensive Corporate Training Program provides their team with up to 100 hours of training, both in the classroom and in the field. Their team members understand the latest training methods and techniques while building a sound knowledge of canine behaviour and handling skills. Clever Canines goes beyond dog training and discipline, encouraging the dog to experience liberty. Tracie Nielson is the founder of Clever Canines. They have a 10,000-square-foot building on a 1-acre lot and a 7,600-square-foot outdoor play yard that is fully turfed. They offer a variety of on-site, online, and outdoor training for you and your dog.
2026 Highlights: Clever Canines offers in-person puppy training classes supported by an online resource library featuring videos that demonstrate the skills taught in class, along with additional training tips and helpful resources.
