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
