🐾✨ Welcome Crimson! ✨🐾

Meet Crimson, the sweetest little Golden Retriever puppy who just joined us for our Puppy Foundations Program! 💛

Over the next few weeks, Crimson will be working on the building blocks that help turn a cute puppy into a confident, well-mannered companion. We’ll be focusing on obedience, leash manners, recall, place, impulse control, confidence building, good household manners, and plenty of real-world exposure along the way.

She is an absolute sweetheart, and we’re excited to watch her learn, grow, and show off that classic Golden personality. 🐶💛

Welcome to Cane Sportivo, Crimson! Let the puppy adventures begin! 🐾

Your dog can be more than “good at home.” They can be reliable anywhere. 🐾

At Cane Sportivo, our Board & Train programs are built for owners who want real-world results — not just a few commands practiced in a quiet room.

We work on the skills that make everyday life with your dog easier and more enjoyable:
• Leash manners and obedience
• Reliable recalls
• Calm behavior around distractions
• Public manners and neutrality
• Confidence and impulse control
• Advanced off-leash reliability for appropriate dogs
• Customized training based on your dog and your goals

Your dog stays with professional trainers, receives consistent daily training, and gets real-world exposure throughout their program.

And the training doesn’t stop when they go home.

Board & Train clients receive a detailed go-home lesson, follow-up support, unlimited help when you need it, and FREE access to our group training sessions for the life of your dog.

We offer Puppy Foundations, Basic Obedience, Advanced Off-Leash training, and customized programs for dogs needing something more specific.

📍 Cane Sportivo — Ashville, Alabama
Serving clients from across Alabama and surrounding states.

Upcoming Board & Train dates are now booking.

Message us today or schedule a phone consultation to find the right program for your dog.

🎉 CGC TEST DAY SUCCESS! 🎉

We are SO proud of everyone who earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen title today! 🐾🏆

Several of our Open Mat regulars, along with some of our past Board & Train clients, put all their hard work to the test today—and it showed. These titles don’t happen by accident. They come from consistency, dedication, showing up, and continuing to train even after the “formal” program is over.

For everyone who passed today… don’t stop here! 👀 The CGC is just the beginning. We’d love to see you keep building toward the AKC Community Canine (CGCA) and Urban Canine Good Citizen (CGCU) titles next!

And if you’ve been watching from the sidelines thinking you’d like to earn a CGC with your dog, now is the perfect time to start. Come join us at our Saturday Open Mat sessions, get some training in, and start preparing for our next round of CGC testing!

We are so proud of the community we’re building and of every handler who continues to put in the work.

Congratulations, Team Cane Sportivo! 🐕🏆💪

🐾 WELCOME MOOSE! 🐾

Meet Moose, an adorable Labradoodle puppy who just joined us for our Puppy Foundations Board & Train! 🎓🐶

Over the next few weeks, Moose will be building the skills every young dog needs to grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. We’ll be working on obedience foundations, leash manners, recall, place, impulse control, engagement, confidence, and good everyday manners—plus plenty of real-world exposure along the way!

Puppies are little sponges, and starting that structure early can make a HUGE difference as they grow. 💪

We’re excited to have Moose with us and can’t wait to show off his progress!

Welcome to Cane Sportivo, Moose! 🐾❤️
