Rita has helped us so much! We adopted a rescue, and he has a lot of learning to do. Rita has not only helped us with basic skills and obedience (looking at and coming to us, sitting, waiting, loose-leash walking, potty, down, and more). She has also taught us so much about dog health and wellbeing overall — their nutrition, psychology, social patterns, NEVER using aversive training, and more things. Rita knows so much and has so much experience with dogs. She comes to our house and knows what Jasper’s and our situation here is — and she tailors training to what Jasper and we need. Watching Rita with our dog has been so important for us. She has an incredible way with him, and it helps so much to have a model we can watch and (try!) to follow. Rita is also generous with her time — coming to our house, responding to texts. She is incredible, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn the best ways to care for and help their dog become confident, safe, happy, and healthy!

Rita gave us great tools for training our pup. We appreciate the ability to be able to text her with any questions or issues we are having, even after the training. I feel that our dogs, and us, have learned a lot.

Rita was amazing to work with! She was so patient, not only with our new rescue Pup but also with my 13 year old daughter who was looking forward to training her new dog. Rita taught us a lot of helpful training techniques to help Daisy acclimate to her new home and to help us keep our sanity! We look forward to continuing to work with Rita on Daisy’s development and ours!!

My dog is a better dog with the help of Rita. Rita considered what skills were needed for her and targeted lessons to improve the behavior. The printed sheets she gave were well written and good reminders of the lessons for home practice. Rita has years of experience which shows with how she deals with dogs, how she recognizes what skills are needed for the dog, and how to get the dog to react with what is good for people involved in their lives together.

Rita has been incredibly helpful in giving our family a starting point for training our dogs to be confident family companions. She helped me learn how to be an assertive dog mom when training or providing direction, helped us to be clear in direction and cues, and guided us through confidence building exercises for our dogs to mitigate their impulsive behaviors. These lessons have resulted in two dogs that have a stronger leader, are on their way to feeling more secure in the world (and less reactive!), and two owners who are more relaxed and in-control. Rita’s training program was SO worth the investment.

We had such an amazing experience with Rita in helping us train our Aussies! Adding a baby and pup to the family has made it more challenging for us to keep up with obedience. Rita helped guide us in training for basic obedience and some additional skills that are important for us with small children and with road trips/hiking with them. Walking in tandem with a stroller, middle, and place are a few extras she really helped us with. Not only did she assist with training but she made sure WE were taught how to continue the training and practicing which is so important. Everything was laid out step by step, practical, and easy to follow. It was never too much! Her communication is always on point and the ability to continue texting/calling for life is extremely worth it! Working with Rita was extremely easy. My sister urged us to use her and I have already given her info to other friends as well. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Rita at Canine Revival! Having owned adult dogs before, I was a bit overwhelmed when bringing home my first puppy, Tilly. Rita was a fantastic guide throughout the training process. I appreciated that she offered both in-home training and sessions at her facility, giving us flexibility and a comfortable learning environment. Her patience and practical advice made a world of difference. We did four sessions, and at each one, Rita gave us clear, actionable steps to practice between lessons. The structure and guidance helped build Tilly’s skills and my confidence as a puppy owner. Tilly loved the training sessions and I learned so much. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and effective dog trainer, Rita at Canine Revival is a wonderful choice!

We had a very positive experience training with Rita. She tailored our training sessions to address our needs and challenges and provided us the tools we needed to continue training on our own. She had helpful suggestions for crates, toys, leashes, and other products for our high energy, anxious dog. Our dog greatly benefited from each training session and loved working with Rita. The training package was a great deal and we look forward to working with Rita again if/when issues pop up in the future!

I was referred to, Rita, with Canine Revival from a friend. The best advise for Bernard, our Grandpup with anxiety and behavior issues. From the very beginning, Bernard loves her. Her knowledge and compassion is outstanding. Our family has learned so much, not to mention, Bernard. We all thank you, Rita. Your help is giving Bernard such a better life and ours.

We had signed up our 5 month old puppy for training and We really loved all the handouts we were given to help us practice with Alex at home.

It was wonderful working with Rita. Roy Joi Boi is my first dog and as a rescue dog, he has some anxiety. Rita was very encouraging and helpful not only with training but in all matters related to his care. I love that she is such a strong advocate for healthy happy canines!

We had Rita help us with some basic obedience training for our chocolate lab puppy, Zara. Her first lesson was around 12 weeks old and Rits had Zara learning so quickly right away. Her methods were easy to learn and Zara loved training time both with Rita and when we’d practice together. Rits gives you thorough instruction and tips and gives you detailed written guides to keep after each lesson on how to progress the skills. I also appreciate that she was able to come to our home so that Zara could focus with less distraction as such a small puppy. I get so many compliments from others about how well trained Zara already is at only 6 months old, I highly recommend Rita for obedience/skills training!

Rita was very knowledgeable, she helped us focus on basic training with our high energy dog (Aussie mix). She also let us pick what we wanted to focus on and gave us great tips on what to do at home.

As a new dog owner Rita was super helpful and reassuring! I had so many questions and she answered every single one of them. I appreciate her love for dogs because I can trust that she will provide the best training and advice that’s positive for both my dog and I. Definitely recommend Rita!

Rita was fabulous supporting us after we adopted two rescue pups. She always started with what we wanted help with before moving into the obedience training planned for the session. She came to our home for two of the sessions which made such a difference helping us understand how to best manage these two new additions to our family. She was positive, encouraging and straight forward. She explained and demonstrated every step of the way, provided written materials and coached us as we learned how to work with them. She truly customized the learning experience not only for the dogs, but for us! I highly recommend Canine Revival!

My puppy Cooper and I had so much fun learning from Rita. We went with the 4 session package, as I wanted personalized instruction and the ability to ask questions. I’m totally thrilled with how much we’ve learned and Cooper is doing so much better than when we started. He is an extremely enthusiastic little guy around people and other dogs, but I feel like I have to tools to help him improve as he moves out of the puppy stage. He knows a lot commands and tricks now, and I’m excited to incorporate more in the future. Rita has so much experience and a wonderful positive reinforcement approach to training. I really looked forward to our sessions as she was so helpful and kind, and never made me feel dumb for what I didn’t know. She’s the best!

Rita was a wonderful partner in helping to learn about our dog’s behavior and how to work with her to learn good dog skills. Rita was always conscientious and on time and was a joy to speak with! Our pup Luna loved her too! We learned a lot and would highly recommend Rita for anyone who is just getting to know their new dog or needs a refresher on good dog behavior.

Rita goes above and beyond for our sessions! Not only does she provide great instruction with workouts, but she gives great advice all around to help you give your dog the best success. She takes the time to make sure that you, the owner/trainer, understands how the little details in posture and movement work together in giving your dog the best fitness experience. Rita is incredibly passionate about proper posture and movement to keep your dog healthy and sound. Our golden retriever Hati is always excited to see her and she’s grown so much stronger since we first started. Highly recommend Rita! She’s a dog lover through and through and a wonderful person to talk to!

We really enjoyed our experience working with Rita. Our puppy learned so much in such a short time! (We did too!) Rita always quickly responded to all our questions, either in person or by text. Our puppy loved coming for our training sessions. We highly recommend Rita!

Rita was the best dog trainer I could find for my dog, she understood all my concerns and we tackled them together and we both saw the progress as time went on , I highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for someone great . My dog loves her and I feel like she truly cares !

Arthur is a super sweet long haired Dachshund puppy but he was never socialized which raised concerns when being in public, going on walks, being around other people. He has immediate aggressive responses to strangers and loud noises. Rita was great with Arthur and gave amazing tips on basic training, socialization ideas, leash walking techniques and more! Arthur isn’t extremely food motivated but did great during our 1 on 1 sessions. He’s improved tremendously with Rita’s training guidance and although he still barks at random things, he’s developed so much obedience. Arthur is still a very curious puppy but he doesn’t pull on the leash or go in zig zags anymore. Rita has been fantastic and we definitely recommend reaching out to her if you’re in need of help with a new puppy, new dog, or even just a helpful refresher.
