Welcome to Legacy Canine Academy
We specialize in obedience and behavior transformation for dogs of all ages—especially those struggling with reactivity, aggression, or anxiety. We use real-world training and our calm working dog to assist in desensitization, we help you build the dog you’ve always wanted: clear-headed, obedient, and reliable.
We are based in Duluth, MN and serve the surrounding area (50+ mile radius)
We Come to You
All training sessions are done at your home or in real-world environments nearby. This allows us to work with your dog where problems actually happen — at the front door, on neighborhood walks, or around everyday distractions. No drop-offs, no confusion — just results where you need them most.

Behavior Modification and Desensitization
Fix the Root, Not Just the Symptoms
Behavior problems aren’t just about bad habits — they’re communication breakdowns between dog and owner. At Legacy Canine Academy, our Behavior Modification programs go far deeper than obedience. We help you rebuild your dog’s mindset, restore structure, and re-establish calm leadership.
These programs are fully customized to your dog’s triggers, history, and behavior patterns — whether you’re dealing with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or extreme fear.
More about us
Why We Started
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.
Our Mission
At Legacy Canine Academy, our mission is simple:
To help dogs live full, balanced, and happy lives — and to teach their owners how to make that possible.
This business was founded on the belief that every dog deserves structure, understanding, and a chance to thrive. Whether a dog struggles with reactivity, anxiety, or just hasn’t been taught how to live peacefully in a human world, we’re here to bridge that gap.
