Our Mission

Legacy Canine Academy was born from a passion for helping misunderstood dogs and a desire to raise the standard of dog ownership.

Too often, we see dogs punished for behaviors they were never taught to handle, or owners overwhelmed by problems they were never shown how to solve. We’re here to change that.

Through real-world training, hands-on coaching, and tools that actually work, we help both dogs and humans build the trust, structure, and communication they need to succeed — together.

Hello!

My name is Eli, I’m the founder of Legacy Canine Academy. I have been a professional dog trainer for nearly half a decade and have helped many dogs and their owners build amazing lives together. I started this company because I’m passionate about giving dogs and owners the structure and clarity they need to thrive—by teaching owners the responsibility and leadership that comes with having a well-balanced companion.

Whether I’m working with obedience, reactivity, or serious behavioral issues, my goal is always the same: to create calm, confident dogs and confident humans to lead them.
