The Canine Center for Training and Behavior. About Us Unleash your relationship with your dog! Our philosophy and mission are quite simple. We want to help you enjoy your life with your dog. Training is based on rewards and play, free of pain and intimidation. The Canine Center’s unique training methodology is the culmination and refinement of a combined 30 years of experience and successful application to more than 13,000 dogs and their people, and 8,000 class sessions. We stand, sit, and shake on our reputation as a leader. The Canine Center for Training and Behavior staff, facility, and methodology represents the evolution of a team of trainers who worked alongside local dog-training legend, Lee Mannix, and trained with world-renowned canine behaviorist, John Rogerson.
