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.

I was having some issues with my Pyradoodle puppy, who was too big and rambunctious for a puppy class and Rita was recommended by a friend. She helped me understand my pup and her behaviors, and using her advice, I decided to abandon the invisible fence that came with the house I had purchased. Rita provides detailed training materials at each session and has been helpful since the conclusion of the training. I’m so glad I found her and that both I and my pup can be happy!!

Rita and Canine Revival got us off to a great start with our new rescue, Yodie. At only a year and a half, he’s the youngest and most energetic dog we’ve had in a long time, and knowing the perception of his breed, we wanted to be sure we did things right for him. Rita showed us small steps to keep him focused and engaged, building toward bigger goals. She trained us as much as she did Yodie. She was clear, kind, patient and encouraging, even when I was anxious about the challenge. She was flexible and responsive. We did the 5-session package, because I absolutely love that we can text or call with questions or concerns for the rest of Yodie’s time with us. I highly recommend Canine Revival for your family!

Rita was a delight to work with. We reached out to her when our incredibly anxious chow-chow, Ruby, was 10 months old. We initially thought she just needed work on decreasing her anxiety due to lack of socialization early on, resulting to excessively barking and growling at anyone who walked by her. However, we learned so much from Rita such as commands to work on impulse control and leash training. My husband, daughter, and I gained so much confidence which increased Ruby’s confidence as well, thus, decreasing her anxieties. This helped us trust Ruby and we’re sure Ruby trusts us more in leading her. I highly recommend Rita at Canine Revival, LLC to anyone who needs support with their dog. My family and I learned more than we imagined and we now have the tools to continue working with Ruby’s behaviors the rest of her life. Thank you so much, Rita! We can never thank you enough!

We needed help with this high energy boy all the while knowing the importance of starting a young puppy off right I found Canine Revival and after checking references I gave them a call. Rita called me that night and we spoke in length about the program and how to get Eddie off on the right foot. I have had other dogs in my life and felt what she had to say made sense. Our first session while about training Eddie was also about us with tips and information.

From there liking what was presented and how well Eddie responded we signed up for the 4 sessions. We really liked the one on one training. I feel that as long as we take what was presented both verbally and demonstrated we are well on our way. Thanks Rita you were great to work with!

We did several private lessons with Rita to help fine tune our two dogs for our wedding. They were going to be our ring bearers but had a walking and barking problem. Rita worked with us to make sure they could be the best ring bearers ever! They walked perfect and didn’t even bark! She gave us great tips and training so that we can continue to work with them. Would definitely recommend Canine Revival to anyone!!

Highly recommend. Easy to work with. Came to our home. The print outs were a helpful reminder. Clearly very knowledgeable and loves all the puppies!

Rita was amazing with our stubborn and over-active little Frenchie, Olive. She gave us a tremendous amount of hints and tricks to successful obedience and helped us to understand what we were doing wrong with our initial training, so we could correct our behaviors in just 4 sessions. I would highly recommend Canine Revival. If you are reading this review, your dog could use some extra obedience, so do not hesitate and contact Rita today.

So grateful for Rita’s coaching and guidance. We get so many compliments on our 10 month old puppy’s behavior.

Rita is wonderful, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. The skills and activities she provided were easy to practice. Rita also has great knowledge of dog behavior and health, I learned a lot from her! Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. Sakari is a 65 pit bull with a very sweet heart, but he would pull me on every walk. He would run after every squirrel he saw and I’ve falling more time than I count. I’ve tried other trainer and every leash, harnesses and collar you can think of. It only took 2 learns from her to get him to walking with me. I was so excited to finally do this with my puppy. I couldn’t be more thankful for her help. She’s down to earth and kind. I would absolutely take your puppy to her.

I am so happy to recommend Rita and Canine Revival. Her training methods were positive and easy for us to implement. Rita is a fantastic dog trainer!

My dog and I had a great time learning at Canine Revival! Rita is a wonderful teacher and makes learning fun. I like the written handouts she sends home after each class. It’s nice to have everything in writing and be able to follow along step by step. We learned so much more than I expected 🙂 Thanks Rita, for an amazing learning experience for me and my dog!

Couldn’t ask for better service for me and my dog.

I really loved working with Rita! Such a joy to see changes in my dog and how much we both learned and continue to work on to be the best fit together. Rita is a wealth of information! Invaluable foundation and setup for success, if you put in the time. Highly recommend to any “dog parent!”

After we rescued our 15 month old Labradoodle (Fraser) we needed some guidance with his attention and anxiety issues. He was a very startled and reserved puppy mill guy. Rita worked with us on his confidence and socialization skills. He responded immediately. The training has helped greatly with his attention and ability to obey commands. He has finally learned how to be a puppy! His willingness to please has been awesome as well. We would HIGHLY recommend Canine Revival and certainly will do it again with another dog if we choose to.

Rita was exactly the resource I needed to get to the next level with my dog. We had gotten thru a challenging puppyhood on our own and worked our way to a ‘comfortable’ level of behavior… but had clearly lost momentum and had a few stubborn issues left. Rita evaluated our Irish Terrier and gave very detailed and helpful instructions in how to work with our dog for her specific issues. Thanks Rita!! A true pleasure learning from you!

Life changing… Freya learned so much from Rita’s instruction and so did I! Thanks for all the guidance!

Rita was so incredibly helpful! Cooper is a young, very high energy, Aussie that needs lots of mental stimulation. She has helped so much to teach us how to redirect all that energy. Rita is very relatable, really focuses on what you and your dogs struggles are, and I love how I will be able to text/call with questions when needed! I definitely recommend Rita to anyone looking for training, one on one training was the best decision I’ve made for Cooper!

Rita is a great listener and asked a lot of helpful questions to understand what we wanted for Oreo. She gave us numerous skills and activities to do with Oreo, including fitness which he loves. She gets straight to the point if needed (Oreo needs to lose a few pounds…) and we appreciated her for that. Overall, Rita has immense knowledge of animal behavior and does a fantastic job coaching us humans to help our pets to be happy!

We came to Rita when our black lab started growling at our son when he was crawling. She reassured us that this can happen and ways to improve their relationship! She is so amazing with the dogs and our son, I recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer! She helped us with not only behavioral issues but basic training as well. We are so grateful for all her awesome help (:
