Canine College offers the largest variety of individual and group dog training classes and dog sports in the Fort Drum-Watertown area.

Canine College is a dedicated dog training facility in the Fort Drum-Watertown area of upstate New York, offering a wide variety of training classes and dog sports.

Founded in 2012 as Cosgrove K-9's, which offered private classes and in-home dog boarding, the business became Canine College in 2015 when it moved into a a building shared with Best Friends Pet Care on Eastern Boulevard. It soon became apparent that Canine College needed room to grow and expand its training services, and the business moved to Edmund Street in spring 2016 where it continued to expand and grow as both a doggie daycare and a training facility.

In January 2017, Canine College made the switch from offering training, daycare, and boarding to becoming a dedicated training facility, and moved into its current home on outer Pearl Street, just minutes from Fort Drum. The new facility is conveniently located across the street from a groomer, Jessie's Pet Spa, and just a minute down the road from a vet clinic, Valley Vet.

Canine College currently offers the largest variety of dog training classes in the local area. Group classes include puppy school, basic and advanced obedience training, dog tricks, and Nosework (scent detection). One-on-one classes are also available for addressing problem behaviors, polishing competition obedience, conformation, and public access training for Service Dogs. AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Advanced CGC, and Urban CGC preparation and testing are available.

Additionally, Canine College is home to Watertown Working Dog Club, which focuses on IPO / Schutzhund training, Nosework, and Search-and-Rescue.
