We Are Changing Dog Training In NOVA
-
Video Catalog & Documentation
You receive a catalog of videos of YOUR DOGS training sessions. We document all major training sessions for you to review in the future.
-
Transparency
We are as transparent as it gets - We publicly post videos at all stages of training. There’s a reason some companies don’t...
-
Personalized Experience
Our company consists of TWO people, Dog Trainer/CEO and a Content Experience Manager. It doesn't get more personalized than that.
-
Realistic Goals
We tell you exactly where we expect your dog to be, depending on their length of stay. Dogs cannot be fully off-leash trained in 2 weeks, don’t let anyone tell you they can.


A Dedicated Two-Person Team
NOVA Canine Academy is a small, local company run by a dedicated two-person team. As the professional dog trainer, Ethan personally works with your dog every day, while his brand manager captures every step of the process. Each week, you’ll receive about 45-90 minutes of personalized, 4K video updates, giving you a front-row seat to your dog’s progress. This unique, hands-on approach ensures complete transparency and the highest level of care throughout your dog’s training journey.

What Is Balanced Training?
Balanced training gives your dog the clarity they need to understand what’s expected of them, creating a stronger, more trusting relationship. By setting clear boundaries and reinforcing positive behavior, your dog learns to listen reliably, on and off-leash. This means more freedom, more adventure, and ultimately, a more fulfilled life. When your dog sees you as their leader, they feel secure, confident, and ready to enjoy the world by your side.

After Training
Training doesn’t end when your dog goes home—it’s just the start. You’ll get a 3-5 hour private session to ensure a smooth transition and lasting results. A catalog of training videos lets you revisit lessons anytime, and we’ll be a lifelong resource for ongoing support.
