Canine Academy

Redemption, consistency, strong boundaries, compassion, treats/praise/play! And so much more about how to be in the world, be you Dog or Human. Jas' heart for his life's work is so present, in every episode. And if you love dogs.... you cannot help but love seeing them transform.

I never write reviews on this site but I saw so many trolls commenting that I had to give my own 2 cents.

I went into watching this knowing it was going to have reality show qualities. Hello people - this is Netflix. 🙄

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the series as a whole. No we didn't see the exact techniques used for every dog but Jas did an amazing job showing that the owners ultimately control the situation. It's up to them to be the "alpha" ( I can tell a lot of the reviewers were also triggered by this word because they are clearly betas.) I also appreciated the different people they had on, not every pet owner is going to be the same. Regardless of whether you agree with peoples lifestyles or not, this is the reality of the world.

There was never any abuse (as so many of these weird PETA like reviews claim) and the dogs all look extremely happy. In fact. Over and over again you can see positive reinforcement being made with treats in hand.

Overall I believe this show reminds us that owning and training a dog also teaches you to be the better version of yourself. Don't let all the negative reviews on here let you think otherwise.

Was excited to see Netflix had made a dog training show.. Then I watched it and saw the incorrect, outdated, cruel and nonscientific ways of Jas.. It is sad to see, that even though we have made amazing progress, he continues to refer to terms like Pack leader and dogs being disrespectful.... It seems as though he has no scientific grasp on what dogs are, their behavior or how to respectfully interact with them.. Should be cancelled and pulled of the air asap!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching Canine intervention and I am now a big fan of Jas's work. He's a positive role model for anyone looking to train dogs. Can't wait for the next season!

Not sure why so many people are hating on this show, too many people crying about abusive methods used by Jas but im not sure if they were watching a different show. Apparantly telling the owner to not let the dog wear shoes is cruel. I watched a great show about a dog trainer helping owners and dogs. Hope we get a season 2.
