Professional Dog Training, In Tampa Bay!
Better Behavior. Better Communication. A Stronger Bond.
At Canine Behavioral Specialists (CBS), we believe successful dog training starts with understanding your dog.
We provide personalized dog training and behavior services throughout the Greater Tampa Bay area, helping puppies, adult dogs, rescue dogs, and their owners overcome everyday challenges and build stronger relationships.
Whether you’re working on basic obedience, leash manners, socialization, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, or more complex behavioral concerns, CBS develops a training approach around your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Because every dog is different, and their training should be too.
Tampa Bay Dog Training Built Around Your Dog
There’s no universal solution to dog training.
Your dog’s age, personality, breed, experiences, environment, and behavior all influence how they learn. That’s why CBS takes an individualized approach to training.
We start by understanding what’s happening, what you want to accomplish, and what your dog needs to succeed. From there, we develop a practical training plan designed to create lasting improvements that translate into everyday life.
Dog Obedience Training
Build better everyday behaviors through training focused on essential commands, leash manners, impulse control, boundaries, and reliable communication.
Behavior Modification
Get professional support for challenging behaviors, including anxiety, fear, reactivity, aggression, excessive barking, poor socialization, and other behavioral concerns.
Puppy Training
Start your puppy off on the right paw with foundational training focused on obedience, manners, boundaries, socialization, confidence, and communication.
Help for Challenging Dog Behaviors
Behavior problems can affect your dog’s quality of life, and yours.
CBS helps Tampa Bay dog owners better understand the causes and triggers of challenging behaviors and develop strategies to improve communication, establish boundaries, and encourage healthier responses.
We can help address:
Aggression and reactivity
Anxiety and fear
Leash pulling
Excessive barking
Jumping
Poor socialization
Lack of impulse control
Difficulty following commands
Puppy behavior and manners
Rescue dog adjustment
Confidence issues
Other challenging behaviors
The goal isn’t simply to stop an unwanted behavior. It’s to understand why it’s happening and create a practical path toward improvement.
Training Dogs And Teaching Their Humans
Better Dog Training Starts With Better Communication

Whether you’re training a new puppy, improving obedience, or addressing challenging behaviors, our personalized dog training in Tampa Bay helps create lasting results and a stronger bond.

Andy works miracles on my bully rocky, everytime we say Andy’s name rocky gets excited and he has changed how my dog acts. Rocky got attacked by 2 dogs before starting to work with Andy and after training sessions he is able to be in elevators with other dogs and be in environments with them, he has also helped him stop pulling. Overall, he has made changes to my dog and he now listens to my directions. 10/10 training, not to mention he PICKS YOUR DOG UP and takes them to experience different environments. We love Andy and will never consider someone else to work with our dog except for him. Thank you for helping our dog rocky and changing our lives by having a dog that listens!! TRUST ME IF YOU WANT GOOD TRAINING USE ANDY!
Dog Mom
I adopted a rescue GSP that had high anxiety, confidence issues, and a lack of socialization which led to some behavior and aggression issues. Andy and the staff at CBS have been instrumental in helping my dog find her confidence and bring out the beauty of the GSP breed. Affectionate towards people, playful with other dogs, Velcro (but not in a needy way) to me. Great communication and always open for questions/concerns. I’m also a better, more knowledgeable, dog owner now as well. Best decision I’ve made.
Dog Dad
Training was great! It was different having them pick up my dog and take him out of the house but I think that gave him more exposure and confidence in different situations. I really appreciated how I never felt rushed and Andy communicated every detail with me. I liked the recaps after each session. Highly reccommend!
Dog Mom
Andy is the best!! He helped my dog gain his confidence back after being bit, worked on his socialization, and truly made a huge difference. We appreciate CBS!
Dog Mom
This company was great with my dog specifically Andrew stein. He was very attentive to our dog and could see the changes and progression on each session. He was also communicated very well with me and let me know what was going on and the best way to help my dog. All in all I highly recommend this company and would bring business to them in anyways I can it’s a super professional and well run business and gets the job done.
Dog Dad
Andy time strengthened commands that she was struggling with prior. He was prompt and kept us informed of estimated pickup and drop-off times. He spent time to share what he focused on during training and what we should reinforce during the week.

My dog was having problems with some trauma he had before I adopted him. It started to really come out in his older age. I found Canine Behavioral online after looking and talking to some other places. I had an evaluation and decided to go with their services. My trainer is Andy, who has done wonders helping my little guy! My dog is much more confident in himself and confident in me as his owner. It’s been great all around!
