What James Island Clients Are Saying
"Fantastic trainers! We have used them multiple times for our dogs and never been disappointed. If you have a strong willed breed or challenging behavior, these are the trainers you want in your corner. They offer customized training programs to fit your dogs needs. Hands down the best." - Kelly, Google
"My dog was super reactive of other dogs and people. Mostly other dogs. I had tried everything to manage his reactive behavior but unfortunately was falling short. I decided to go to training. I can not say enough good things about OneLeash Canine Academy. They helped me to get Havoc to be neutral in public and to pass people/dogs with no issues! I currently have 4 of my other dogs going there to work through issues. I will always recommend them to anyone needing help With there dogs." - Heather, Google
