The Path to Peace
Core Focus Areas for Behavioral Rehabilitation
Reactivity Management
Teaching your dog to remain completely neutral and focused on you when passing other dogs, strangers, or loud vehicles on walks.
Anxiety Reduction
Building foundational confidence in fearful dogs so they can navigate the world without panicking, trembling, or shutting down entirely.
Resource Guarding Solutions
Establishing trust and clear boundaries so your dog no longer feels the desperate need to aggressively protect their food, toys, or sleeping spaces.
Impulse Control
Hardwiring patience into your dog's daily routine to eliminate destructive behaviors, frantic energy, and dangerous barrier frustration.
Comprehensive Temperament Evaluation
Pinpointing the exact psychological drivers behind your dog's outbursts to create a targeted, highly effective, and deeply personalized action plan.
Intensive Owner Education
We spend hours equipping you with the exact handler skills, timing, and confidence required to maintain your dog's newly established calm mindset.
Lifelong Support
Behavioral modification is a journey. We offer continued guidance to ensure you and your dog remain on track long after the initial program ends.
Our Behavior Modification Process: Setting Your Dog Up For Success
Real rehabilitation takes time, immense patience, and a strictly scientific approach. Here is how we transform your dog's mindset from the ground up:
The Behavioral Deep Dive
We meet with you to thoroughly analyze your dog's history, bite record (if applicable), and daily triggers to understand the full scope of their emotional distress.
The Custom Blueprint
Leveraging our motivational philosophy, we design a step-by-step strategy that introduces stress at manageable levels, ensuring optimal, low-stress learning.
The Immersive Rehabilitation
Your dog works directly with our elite trainers to reshape their automatic emotional responses, replacing panic or anger with clear, composed, and heavily rewarded choices.
The Handler Hand-Off
We do not just hand over the leash. We extensively coach you on how to read subtle canine body language and utilize new communication tools to prevent future relapses.
The Ongoing Support
Severe behavioral cases require lifelong management. We stand by your side with continuing education and support to keep your dog on the right path permanently.

I can’t begin to explain how helpful and wonderful all the staff and trainers were to me and my boy Gunner. I came in with a puppy that had no manners and all around wild child, hated to admit it but I needed help. After the 4 week day train program I was left with a better mannered pup and all the tools needed to continue to have the best possible relationship and well mannered dog in the future. Everyone was very kind, patient and understanding with me and my wild fur child. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better experience for me and my boy Gunner. Thank you again everyone that worked with me and Gunner, continuing with what me and him were taught you guys gave me the perfect stepping stones to having a well mannered pup in the future.

We take our GSD to Stateline in Hanover. First, we could not ask for a better team to work with our dog. They are always friendly, understanding, patient, and happy. I honestly can say the staff is always happy to assist, answer questions, and are there every step of the way. They take care of our dog during the day just like I would want for my children. When she has had accidents, they bathe her. When she has an upset belly, they tell us. When we had to reschedule, they worked with us without a problem. When we are doing training, they are able to also laugh with us & dont make us feel “dumb”. Its only been 3 weeks and its like I have a new dog. I have more confidence from their support and our life has started to become easier for all of us. We will forever be grateful for Stateline & all of the staff.

I wanted to share how amazing Austin the trainer is. He did a fantastic job with our 2 year old Cane Corso Ellie Mae. We were at our wits end. She wanted nothing to do with the mussel. Within an hour he had mastered it. It was unbelievable. I would highly recommend Austin and the team at Stateline Canine.

Can’t say enough good things about all my experiences with Sateline. As a new dog owner I was extremely nervous to make sure I was doing all the right things. They were extremely helpful during and after training. The end result is the perfect adventure buddy. She went from a bit of unpredictable puppy to a fun companion and I feel very grateful I took the leap. Stateline gave me the tools needed to maintain everything Wayland learned along the way and it’s been a massive bonus to have a trusted place to board her. I think sometimes she doesn’t even want to leave when I pick her up lol. Shout out to Naomi and all the other professional trainers for their help and great care of Wayland. Great investment and your little one is in good hands with Stateline. Thanks again!

I recently attended a Janet Edwards seminar, and it was truly life-changing. The amount of experience, knowledge, and valuable information she shared was incredible. I left with so much to think about and apply, and it was one of the most impactful and educational dog training experiences I’ve had.
I’ve also attended Shawn Edwards seminars, and those were amazing as well. Both bring so much experience, insight, and real-world knowledge to the table, and it’s clear how much they have to offer the dog training community.
I have also previously used State Line for other seminars and events, and every experience there has been excellent. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and set up really well for dogs and handlers. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming, and it’s absolutely a place I would trust with my dog anytime.
If you’re looking for a professional dog training facility, high-quality dog training seminars, and experienced people who truly know dogs, I would absolutely recommend State Line.

Great place for training. We took our shelter rescue staffy mix here for boarding and training. After 3 weeks of training she was ready to come home. The staff was great throughout her training. We received numerous phone calls and text messages about her during her training. On pick up day we never felt rushed by the staff and they were great with going over all the commands with all 3 of us. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's looking for a great service at a fair and reasonable price
