Powered by Certify Canine standards, the new 3,000sq. ft. hub offers game nights, pack walks, obedience clubs, and real-world integration for dogs and their people.
Canine Training Collective, the training arm of Certify Canine Inc., has opened a new 3,000 sq. ft. facility designed to bring innovation and community spirit into the dog training world.
Instead of traditional classes alone, the Collective is pioneering a community-first model, blending structured training with events like Pack Walks, Obedience Clubs, and Canine Game Nights. These programs give owners and their dogs real-world practice, social enrichment, and a supportive environment that goes far beyond “obedience.”
In addition to its community programs, Canine Training Collective offers all forms of training, including puppy foundations, basic obedience, behavior modification, and therapy/service dog preparation. The facility provides a single place where every dog – from family pets to working partners – can learn, grow, and thrive.
“Our goal is to build teams that thrive in everyday life – not just pass a test,” said Blake Woody, Founder of Certify Canine. “By combining Certify Canine's national standards with the Collective's community-driven events, we're creating a space where dogs and their humans grow together under real-world pressure and play.”
The Collective also serves as a hub for therapy and service dog teams, offering integration support, public access readiness, and ongoing training opportunities – all backed by Certify Canine's certification and third-party liability insurance.
Upcoming events include:
— Obedience Club Saturdays – open-mat style guided training with rotating exercises and open Q&A.
— Pack Walks – group social walks focused on neutrality and calm behavior in real settings.
— Canine Game Nights – fun, enrichment-driven activities to build confidence and trust.
The facility is located at [address], and community members are invited to visit, attend events, or connect with trainers.
