Cedarwoods Canine School

Basic obedience is the foundation on which every aspect of a happy dog relationship is built.

Located in Ferndale Washington, nestled in between Bellingham and Lynden, Cedarwoods Canine School has proudly been a family owned and operated business for 22 years. The Cedarwoods Canine School mission is to foster a sense of goodwill between pet owners and the local community in Western Washington. At Cedarwoods Canine School our highly qualified trainers assist in creating excellent k-9 companions!
Founders Ron and Carol McGrady set a strong foundation when they first established the obedience school by offering a unique type of Basic Obedience and Off-Lead Training. The courses have been proven to create well trained dogs by utilizing the dog’s natural desire to please their owner. Their methodology creates cherished pets, as well as strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Today dog training is still a family affair, Sam and Steffi Mcgrady, along with their children Chris, Suzie, Julian and nephew, Andrew continue the family business, offering classes 6 days a week. Additionally The Cedarwoods Canine School offers tune-up classes where Dogs and owners can focus on Problem areas, a K-9 Activity Club for those who want an introduction to dog sports, Boarding and kenneling services, and a beautiful trail on the 5-acre property available to all students for additional practice before and after classes.
