Second Chance Canine, LLC.

Certified, force-free behavior work

Second Chance Canine, LLC is run by Tisha L. Angelo, CPDT-KA, a certified professional dog trainer serving Akron, Canton, Cleveland and surrounding areas since 2009. The site is explicit about method: "100% committed to using only humane, force-free, non-coercive training tools and reward-based methods, focusing on positive reinforcement," with techniques stated to align with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. This is full-service behavioral consulting, not just basic manners.

Programs and structure

The stated focus areas include new-pet integration, basic manners and puppy training, aggression toward people or other animals, leash reactivity, socialization, fear/anxiety and separation anxiety, resource guarding, destructive behavior, and house training. Three delivery options are offered — in-home training, training at the SCC facility, and board & train — and every new client begins with a two-hour behavior consultation and training session to build a plan. The site is transparent about pricing: in-home sessions start at $250 for the initial two hours and $150 for follow-ups (varying with travel), facility sessions start at $200/$100, and boarding runs $50/day for one dog. Drop-off and pick-up hours run 9am-9pm by arrangement. The combination of certification, a stated humane methodology, and published pricing makes this a strong fit for owners of reactive or anxious dogs.
