About Control Canine

Off-leash training in Miami

Control Canine is a South Florida dog training business based at 121 NE 45 St in Miami. Its trainer, Allan, is credited with over a quarter-century in dog training. The company treats each dog as an individual with its own quirks and needs and tailors training to the dog's character, from basic manners to complex behavior problems. Owners are coached alongside their dogs so the work fits their lifestyle, and the business points to strong ties with the veterinary community. Allan also runs a private facility for training and boarding.
