About Us
Our Passion for Dogs Isn't Just a Business — It's Our Way of Life!
🐾 When You Choose Us, You Get the Owner AND the Certified Master Dog Trainer!
One Trainer. Over 21 Years of Experience. Personalized Training You Can Trust.
At Mind Your Manners Canine Training, we believe you deserve to know exactly who is training your dog.
Unlike larger training facilities where your dog may be assigned to different trainers with varying levels of experience, when you choose us, you work directly with Mancini — the owner, founder, and Certified Master Dog Trainer.
I am the ONLY trainer at Mind Your Manners Canine Training.
That means the person you speak with about your dog's training needs is the very same person who will personally train, handle, and work with your dog throughout their program.
Your dog will never be handed off to an unfamiliar trainer or someone who has simply completed a short course and received a certificate.
With over 21 years of professional experience and more than 8,100 dogs trained, I bring decades of hands-on knowledge, specialized training, and a genuine passion for helping dogs succeed.
I personally oversee every dog's progress, address their individual needs, and work directly with you during your going-home training session.
No rotating trainers. No inexperienced staff handling your dog's training. No surprises.
Just professional, consistent, personalized training from the same Certified Master Dog Trainer you trusted from the very beginning.
Because when you trust me with your dog, I take that responsibility personally.
Real Training for the Real World!
At Mind Your Manners Canine Training, dogs aren't just what we do — they're who we are! We live, eat, sleep, and breathe dogs, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
Our journey began in 2004, when we started helping dogs and their owners through professional training. What began as a part-time passion quickly grew into a full-time commitment in 2006. Today, with over 21 years of experience and more than 8,100 dogs trained, we're proud to continue doing what we love every single day.
Unlike larger, commercial training facilities, we believe in providing a personalized, family-style environment where every dog receives individual attention, patience, consistency, and care.
Whether your dog is learning basic obedience, developing the skills to become a service dog, overcoming behavioral challenges, or simply enjoying a comfortable boarding stay, our goal is always the same: to provide a safe, positive, and rewarding experience.
🐾 Our Commitment Doesn't End When Your Dog Goes Home!
One of the things we're most proud of is our FREE Lifetime Training Support, included with every Board & Train program.
We believe successful training is about more than teaching your dog commands. It's about helping you understand your dog, building a strong relationship with you as the handler, and giving you the knowledge and confidence to maintain that success at home.
And if you ever need a little extra guidance along the way, we're always here to help!
❤️ Your Dog Becomes Part of Our Family!
We understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision. That's why we treat every dog in our care with the same patience, attention, and respect we would want for our own.
Our goal isn't simply to send home a better-behaved dog. We want to send home a happier, more confident companion and an owner who feels proud, comfortable, and excited about their dog's progress.
And when your dog comes back for a visit or boarding stay, we want them to be just as excited to see us as we are to see them!
