Welcome to Community Canine

Building safe, happy, and healthy human-dog relationships

Holistic Balanced Dog Training and Rehabilitation

All Breeds, All Ages

Servicing Boston MA, surrounding areas and Midcoast ME

Holistic Approach

Our training program is centered around creating a clear system of communication and healthy relationship with your dog. The curriculum is based on the most up to date research in dog psychology, neurobiology, ethology, genetics, and nutrition. Our goal is to educate and empower owners to make the right decisions when interacting with their dogs in real world situations. While basic commands are taught in this program, the main focus is modifying behavior and state of mind. Positive reinforcement is a huge part of this program, but we also focus on the way the dog’s brain has evolved over time to understand and process human communication. The way their brains work makes them easy to communicate with if you have the right skills and tools!
