"I highly recommend this course. Victoria is a very thorough and patient instructor and is able to break down the components of teaching your dog to track and detect articles. She taught me how to build River’s drive for finding the articles, and I loved watching the progression of River’s skills as the difficulty was increased.

Tracking is a great way for me to get out exercising with my dog, while providing a fun challenge for both of us, and to continue developing our skills. My children are in awe that River and I find them out in the woods after they go hide. Even my husband has been having fun hiding for us

"I enrolled my new pup, Lyla, in Valley Canine's Reliable Recall Course this spring. Lyla came to me about a year ago when she was 6 months old.

She was a very undisciplined dog. I have struggled with her recall prior to taking the course. She would take off on our walks, for no obvious reason, and not come when called.

It would take hours to get her to come home at times. With Victoria's excellent direction and considerable patience I now have a dog that comes every time I call her.

Outside of the course work with Victoria we followed her advice and did our homework faithfully. I am now able to recall Lyla even in the presence of major distractions such as deer, other dogs, cars & people.

Thank you Victoria & Valley Canine. We are looking forward to enrolling in the Canine Club to further Lyla's, and my, education."

"We did the Reliable Recall program with our pup Elliot and it was super great! Before the training Elliot would not listen off leash at all, he would never come when called and calling him back would always turn into a stand off.

Since the program he listens perfectly, which is not only great for us, but for him as well as he has way more freedom. Victoria was also a super great instructor and fun to work with!"
