Where is Stateline Canine located?

What training methods do you use?

We use motivational, science-based methods. Training is built around low-stress learning, clear criteria and rewarding the behavior we want, which produces obedience that holds up in real-world environments rather than only in the training room.

How long does a board and train program take?

Program length depends on your dog's starting point and your goals. During a free consultation a certified trainer assesses your dog and recommends the program and duration that fits, then sets clear milestones for the stay.

Do you work with aggressive or reactive dogs?

Yes. Behavior modification is one of our core programs. We work with aggression, leash reactivity, fear and anxiety using structured, low-stress protocols, and we are honest with owners about what a realistic outcome looks like for their dog.

What happens after my dog finishes a program?

Every graduate receives lifetime support. That includes handoff coaching so you can maintain the training at home, plus refresher and maintenance options if your dog's obedience needs proofing later on.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. Consultations are free. Call (717) 632-1111 or use the contact form to book a time with a certified trainer and talk through your dog's behavior and your goals.

Do you train police and search and rescue K9s?

Yes. We provide police K9 procurement, patrol and detection training and handler academies for law enforcement agencies, and we develop search and rescue K9s in tracking, trailing and air scenting for handlers working toward deployment-ready certification.
