About Canine Karma

Connection-based, force-free training

Canine Karma has operated since 2011 in Holland, Ohio with the tagline of creating calm, content canines through connection-based, force-free training. The site offers group classes plus behavioral and private training, and notes that the trainer is certified and that the program is veterinarian recommended.

Local recognition

The business highlights that it was voted the best Dog Training Facility in Toledo, Ohio in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024 by the Toledo City Paper. The website itself is concise and does not name a specific certifying body or the trainer by name in the read content, so no certification acronyms are claimed here. Contact is via the Angola Rd. location, email, or phone (419) 290-8237.

What they can help with

Behavior modification for unwanted or problem habits.

We have absolutely loved our experience with training at Canine Karma. When we adopted our dog, he was so reactive and anxious that he could not go outside in our backyard, walk around the block, or be around strangers. As first-time dog parents, we had no clue what to do and we were so stressed trying to make him comfortable. After the Reactive Dog Protocol with Tina, it feels like we have an entirely different pup! He is calm, confident, and loves to meet new people. We can take him for longs walks & he is overall so much more at peace! We are even doing group classes with Canine Karma now! Tina is fabulous at meeting you where you are at, tailoring each session to the individual dog, and helping you build a lifelong bond with your dog. She has always made her space a positive, fun learning environment for us! ❤️

We received a pamphlet at the vet for Canine Karma back in 2024, and my friend recommended it as well. We love Tina and the fact she advocates for strictly positive reinforcement! We have done a plethora of classes with her and my favorites (and my boy) is building the bond and scent work! Facility is well kept and enough space in between dogs.

Tina is a terrific instructor and we highly recommend Canine Karma for meeting your dog training needs. We have tried pet store training classes in the past, and there is no comparison in the quality of training, the content of the material, and the results with your dog.

We have had both group and private lessons with Tina. The group lessons are good for training fundamentals, and they also provide limited/controlled exposure to other dogs (this exposure is seeing other dogs walking into class and hearing their on-going sounds…but during class there are barriers that obstruct viewing them). The private sessions were very helpful in fine-tuning training to the particular needs of our dog. Fitting in private lessons between group lessons worked well for our bratty, spoiled, and easily distracted puppy.

We completed our first set of group classes, and will do more fine-tuning in a few private lessons, then enroll her in another set of group classes for additional skills.

BTW – our dog loves going there….she gets excited in the car as we get near the facility!

If you want to build a relationship and bond with your dog while using positive reinforcement training instead of adverse and fearful training methods, then look no further! My pups have spent many hours training in different classes with Canine Karma and the results speak for themself. I'm so grateful to have such a great positive reinforcement training option near me. Thank you to Tina and all at Canine Karma for providing such a knowledgeable and safe option for training our companions. 🐕🐕

Best dog training in town. My pup and I had the best time in her classes. We have done STAR, Tricks class and start Build your Bond in April. Tina is fun and makes the class very engaging. My puppy has so much fun she wants to go home with Tina!
