If there is ever an emergency with your pet, these guys are almost always on call so they're ready and willing to take your call.

One thing that I really like about American Canine Institute is Gene's training methods that he uses with my dog. Strongly recommend to all in Fremont.

They really want you to keep your dog safe and healthy. They ask questions like, what kind of food are you feeding your dog, they teach you how to understand ingredients, they let you know about tics and fleas and what medications to use. Overall they are amazing.

Absolutely amazing services. Satisfied doesn't even begin to describe how happy I was with everything. They even taught me how to read my dogs body language so I am able to avoid and prevent a bad situation.

The instructor allowed me to customize the training for my dog for my first puppy so it was different and new for me. They came to my house a few times a week during the home assessment and walked me through the services they offer, the times, commitment, cost and availability. I started off with one on one training then moved on to the group classes.

John is a fantastic trainer. He met with me and my dog and helped assess the issues that I wanted resolved. He suggested a few ways to approach the situation and I was able to chose what would work for me. After just one training session I saw a huge difference. Mostly because I was able to learn how to handle my dog and correct his behavior when needed. A huge difference. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend ACI, and John.

John is an excellent trainer. We sent our dog Sophie (14 mos) for 2 week on site training. She needed help with manners, listening to us, and walking on a leash without pulling. We received pictures and updates from John. He was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. She came back to us calmer, better listener, and is walking on leash without pulling. We continued our education by having John come to our house. I needed training as well! Sophie's manners are much better, she listens much better, and is no longer pulling me on walks. We are going to continue with ACI for group training. I have learned a lot from John and would highly recommend him and ACI.

When you adopt a rescue dog it is your responsibility as a pet owner to socialize and properly train your new furry friend. American Canine Institute is a great resource to do just that. They take great care of my pets and are very knowledgeable.
