The Academy

Not a Chain. Not a Class. A Private Dog Training Academy.

Most dog training around here happens in pet-store corners and rented gym floors, one hour a week. Stateline Canine is something else entirely: an 11,000 sq ft private facility where nationally titled trainers live on-site and every program is built from your dog’s individual evaluation.

Our philosophy is simple — understand the individual dog, train with motivational, science-based methods, and generalize every skill until it holds in the real world: the park, the front door, the crowded patio. We set the dog up for success, then raise the bar.

Choose the format that fits your family — our Convenient Day Train Program, private lessons for hands-on owners, or our Board & Train residency, the most consistent and complete education a dog can receive. The free evaluation is where we tell you honestly which one your dog needs.

Every Program Includes

The Stateline Standard
  • Private evaluation and a plan built for your dog
  • Training led by a 5× PSA National Champion team
  • Real-world proofing — not just classroom obedience
  • An 11,000 sq ft private academy with trainers in residence
  • Handoff lessons and lifetime trainer support

Our Programs

Every Program We Offer, in One Place

Whether you searched for dog training near me out of frustration or ambition, there’s a program built for exactly where your dog is now.

Convenient Day Train Program

Full days of professional training with our champion-led team, with your dog home every night — board-and-train depth in a day-training format — see the Day Train program.

Obedience & Off-Leash Training

Reliable recall, loose-leash walking, place, and calm greetings — proofed around real distractions until they hold anywhere. Advanced off-leash dog training for families who want true freedom with total control.

Reactive & Aggressive Dogs

Lunging on leash, fixating on dogs, guarding, biting, severe anxiety — behavior modification is our signature specialty, and our reputation was built on dogs other trainers couldn’t rehabilitate.

Puppy Training

House manners, crate confidence, socialization, and foundation obedience during the months that matter most — so you raise the dog everyone compliments instead of correcting problems later.

Board & Train

Our most popular program: your dog lives at the academy for an immersive education with trainers on-site around the clock, then comes home transformed — with private handoff lessons for your family.

Serving Pennsylvania & Maryland

One Academy, Every Level of Training

Families across Pennsylvania and Maryland bring us dogs at every stage — eight-week-old puppies, adult rescues, working lines, and dogs other trainers had given up on. The standard never changes.

Trainers in Residence

Our trainers live on-site with the dogs in their care. Training here isn't a one-hour appointment — it's built into the whole day, every day.

A Champion-Led Standard

Every program runs to the standard of a 5× PSA National Champion team with 25+ years of experience, inside an 11,000 sq ft private facility.

Handoff Lessons for Your Family

Your dog's education ends with yours. We coach your family through the commands, habits, and boundaries your dog now lives by — then stay available for the life of the dog.

Proudly serving families throughout Pennsylvania & Maryland.

How Your Dog's Residency Works

The Evaluation

Every residency begins with a complimentary evaluation. We assess your dog's temperament, history, and your family's goals — then design a training plan specific to your dog. No two programs here are identical.

The Immersion

Your dog moves into the academy. Training is woven through every part of the day and proofed in real-world settings — with trainers on the property around the clock, not visiting between shifts. You receive regular updates throughout.

The Homecoming

We return your dog to your door, then teach you everything they've learned through private handoff lessons. Refresher sessions and lifetime trainer support keep the results permanent.

Questions

Dog Training, Answered

What kind of dogs do you train?
All ages, all breeds, all sizes, all temperaments — from eight-week-old puppies to adult rescues to working-line dogs. Every program begins with a private evaluation, so the training your dog receives is designed for your dog alone.
Which program is right for us?
That’s exactly what the free evaluation answers. Hands-on owners with time often thrive with private lessons; busy families and serious behavior cases get the strongest results from Board & Train immersion. We’ll recommend honestly — including when the simpler option is enough.
What makes Stateline different from other dog training near me?
Three things you won’t find together anywhere else: a 5× PSA National Champion trainer with 25+ years of experience, a private 11,000 sq ft facility where trainers live on-site with the dogs, and an evaluation-first process that builds the program around your dog instead of a class schedule. It’s the difference between a class and an education.
Do you use humane methods?
Yes — our methods are built on motivational, science-based principles designed for low-stress learning. Our favorite rule of training: set the dog up for success. Champions aren’t built through intimidation, and neither are family dogs.
How do we get started?
Book a free evaluation below or call 717-632-1111. We'll meet your dog, discuss your goals, and design their program. Our trainers work with a small number of dogs at a time, so we recommend scheduling your evaluation early.
