The trainers and instructors at CIA use the solid science of behaviorism in training, drawing both on decades of research and on the latest results from current animal training experiments.  We don't use superstition, old wives' tales, or "that's just how it's done" techniques -- we can and will be happy to explain each method and approach and point to the supporting science.

So many people ask why the average pet dog needs training. "Normal dogs don't need training," they think. "That's only for aggressive or destructive dogs. And I've had dogs all my life!"  The truth is, even family dogs need some training.

Canines In Action, Inc., is located in Wanamaker in Indianapolis, but we train everywhere!  We teach group classes in Wanamaker (southeast) and in Carmel (northside).  We are available for private lessons throughout central Indiana and beyond, and we do live or recorded video consult and coaching anywhere the internet can reach!

People also frequently wonder when a dog is too old for training. I am fond of answering, "If the dog is still breathing, he's still learning!" We have welcomed eight- and ten-year-old dogs into class and seen them do quite well. Old dogs can and certainly do learn new tricks!

One question we're getting a lot right now is, "Why did you move?"
