Canine Intelligence Academy (CIA) is a family-owned business providing personalized in-home dog training to residents in the greater Orange County, CA area.  Everyone benefits from a pet who has great manners, good obedience, and superior social skills, and we can help individuals and families achieve this one dog at a time. 

 

CIA also assists ADA disabled individuals by developing or improving public access skills to enhance their service dog team effectiveness.

Our objective is to educate you, the dog owner, to learn and understand what motivates and drives your dog's behavior.  We use positive reinforcement methods to achieve instructional goals.  In addition,  we believe that dogs want to please us and respond well to our fair, respectful, and consistent leadership. 

 

We believe that dogs are intelligent creatures and enjoy some form of "work" which equates to "fun" to them by providing physical/intellectual stimulation. 

 

                                                                               A close bond between dog and owner is critical and

                                                                                     is accomplished by spending quality playtime                                                                                                            and training time together where                                                                                                        owners and dogs are focused on eachother.

 

                                                                                                        CIA believes that training can and                                                                                                           does greatly enrich lives while building                                                                                                                      a loving, with man's best friend .

SERVICE DOG TRAINING

 

Public  Skills Training & Evaluation

 Do you need to train your own Service / Assistance / Medical Alert dog on all the necessary public access skills to go everywhere in the world with you? 

 

Until now there have not been many options available for disabled people who want to train their own dog to help them with their disability, (as opposed to buying a fully trained assistance dog) and now need guidance to assess & validate their public access capability as a team.

 

CIA specializes in helping ADA disabled individuals develop or improve their service dog's manners and abilities to become a highly-skilled working team in various public settings. 

 

CIA utilizes AKC Canine Community & Canine Urban tests. The purpose of these evaluations is to ensure that the service dog is stable and well-behaved, and the handler has control over the dog in everyday public challenges any team might encounter,  such as hotels, stores, restaurants, vehicles, stairs, walkways, restrooms, elevators, and all types of people and equipment. The key significance of these evaluation tests provides professional validation that the dog is indeed safe and in keeping with established standards of service dog behavior.
