About us

I cannot emphasize what a difference training and discipline make when you are a new dog owner or even an experienced one! We always have something to learn about ourselves and about our 4 legged friends. :)

I want to take a moment to really express my gratitude for the service Michael provided me in a time of great need. There are no words to describe the relief I felt upon meeting him and watching him with my beautiful little girl. For such a small price he took Ellie in and provided her with love, a home, and behavioral training for 4 months before he found her a forever home. This man has a very kind heart and has a genuine passion for the welfare of animals. If you have any doubts about whether this is the right choice for your four legged family member, I am here to reassure you he is a wonderful choice.

Thank you Michael Holland for the wonderful job you have done with Odie and helping me learn the things I need to keep him under my control. To watch Odie process so quickly was amazing. You are awesome. It is such a pleasure to live with a calm and happy dog, and his owner is happier too......your personal one on one training has made the experience and hard work worth every trip and every session very exciting with us both.

Training Canines has always been something that I loved to do. From a very early age, my exposure to dogs was as if I were raised by the Pack. Establishing C.O.A.C.A. has been one of my life's dreams come true!!! Being able to share my abilities with other's and their pets is a passion and I truly do it for the love of it!!! So come share in our gifts and get the best in Canine Obedience and Behavioral Modification for your pets.

For "A well trained pet is only a reflection of its owner".
