Active Canine Academy

Active Canine Academy is a training-focused dog boarding and daycare business in Riverside, CA, where overnight stays and day care sit alongside a full menu of obedience and behavior work. Its founder holds Master Level 3 certification from the Royal Dog Academy, and that training background shapes how the whole operation runs.

What services does Active Canine Academy offer?

Boarding is priced at $60 per night, according to the academy's website. Owners who want more than a place for their dog to stay can look at board and train, where training continues during the visit. The program list is broad for a single business:

• Dog boarding and dog daycare
• Board and train and obedience training
• Protection and service dog training
• Separation anxiety training
• Group dog classes in Riverside, LA, and Irvine

What makes it different from a standard kennel?

At many boarding facilities, training is an add-on. Here it is the main event. The academy describes its approach as patient but strict, and it puts real weight on teaching owners as well as their dogs. The thinking is that progress lasts longer when the person holding the leash knows what to do at home.

Behavior evaluations are part of the offering, which can help owners whose dogs struggle with leash pulling or deeper behavioral issues. Private clients also get 24/7 chat support, so questions that come up between sessions don't have to wait.

How do owners get started?

The first step is a free consultation. Owners can call (818) 836-2240 or email viktoriia@activecanineacademy.com to set one up. The academy posts updates on Instagram at @activecanineacademy, and more program details are on its website.
