Blue Ridge Canine Academy 4725 16th Street Drive Northeast, Hickory, NC 28601

"Cameron and his staff trained our dog with board and train. We attend brush up sessions and Hank listens and responds like no other dog we have owned. The only thing better than owning a dog is owning a dog that listens. I wholeheartedly recommend Cameron and his crew to get the job done. They really know the correct way to train dogs. We couldn’t be happier !"

"Five stars are not nearly enough… Cameron and Courtney at Blue Ridge Canine Academy are nothing short of AMAZING! My family found Cameron back in January after calling a few different trainers about our Belgian Mal we had just brought home. Cameron was my last hope at learning to live with a Mal after the trainers I spoke to before had me convinced she could not be kept as our family dog. Our girl Mia came to us with some reactivity and a lack of obedience at the age of 1yr 4mon. For those that may not know the breed, Mals are super smart and love to work so you need a committed trainer not only for the dog but also for the human! On our first day at the consultation Mia came out of our Jeep at mock Jesus ready to intimidate and bully Cameron. Cameron evaluated our girl and was upfront from the get go with us. All of our questions were answered and we committed to training with him. Fast forward to almost a year later and Mia with the help of Blue Ridge Canine Academy is now our family dog. She is requires continuous training and is still learning to navigate this life with me but I would not trust our training in the hands of anyone else!! We have improved our obedience and she has improved her reactivity! She is now on her way to learning protection sport, tracking, and all things working dog! Thank you Cameron and Courtney for all you guys do to teach me and my girl!"

"To say my life was changed with the help of Cameron and Kamila is an understatement. My 85 pound puppy had basic training before I adopted him, but I became a more confident owner with their help. The group walks were amazing and it was so helpful to see different types of dog personalities and how to adjust to my own dog's needs in different situations. I cannot recommend them!"

"We started with puppy lessons in November 2022 for our super energetic sheepadoodle, Daisy. Since then she came a long way and is able to handle public outings, family walks, and meeting other dogs, without a lot of redirecting. Cameron is knowledgeable and direct. It was very helpful to have her training adjusted to her needs and our life style. We continue to go to group walks/lessons to keep her skills sharp, and Daisy loves going to school with all the big kids. Overall, it has been a great experience and we wholeheartedly recommend Blue Ridge Canine Academy to anyone looking to get their dog well trained and well behaved."

"Cameron (Owner) is amazing. Training for our one year old rescue GSD has been great, more importantly I am more confident in my ability to handle him. Cameron is down to earth and honest. He gives clear directions and advice. We took the private sessions. Highly recommend his work."
