About Mandeville Canine Academy

A school day for dogs

Mandeville Canine Academy is a dog obedience school at 924 Girod St. in Mandeville, opened in 2019 by professional dog trainer Ted Carlson and described as veteran owned and operated. Ted Carlson is credited with nearly 15 years of professional training experience and a science-based, 3-stage training process that the academy follows. Its School Days run like a normal school day: drop-off and play, an obedience class on the Skill of the Week, enrichment or exposure training, individual sessions and rest.
