Our Mission
At the Canine Intelligence Agency® (CIA), we’re on a mission to enrich the bond between you and your dog. Founded by Cis Frankel, renowned canine behaviorist and author, we offer comprehensive behavioral services and training tailored for urban environments.
Our Philosophy
“Your mission is to live, love, and laugh with your dog.”
Cis Frankel
We believe that:
- Intelligent dogs have intelligent owners
- If you can play with your dog, you can train your dog
- A trained dog allows you to drink your coffee while walking
- Rules work both ways – if you make them, you must follow them
Tails of Transformation
“Cis came in to our lives. She was a game changer from day one!”
Harper now approaches people confidently and walks down the street like a champ.
“Max has grown to love city life!”
Cis provided great tips and class environment for our once city-terrified dog.
“The second Cis took command of the leash, she had our dog sitting, staying, jumping, rolling, dropping, and heeling!”
Our rescue dog transformed from knowing nothing to loving training day.
“After a two-month class, our dog received great socialization experiences as well as a toolbox full of training tips and tricks.”
We experimented with taking our dog off his leash and having him find us as we hid. We told him how to wait at the streets when cars came — and how to play with other dogs varying in sizes and ages.
“Our dogs have been training with the Canine Intelligence agency for over 10 years.”
The CIA dogs are a joy to be with. They are loyal companions, have stellar temperaments, love to exercise, and are very smart and obedient — thanks to Cis! Our male Weimaraner even earned his AKC Championship show title.
“Wow, thank you, Cis. You saved both Slater’s and my life.”
Before we started working with Cis, Slater would gleefully retrieve dead fish and animals. Now, he will not look at a dead animal and immediately comes to my side. We comfortably walk him off leash everywhere.
“Her approach and patience with all of her clients is second to none.”
Cis’s accessibility and willingness to help outside the weekly sessions is invaluable and something that is hard to find elsewhere. Our dog Bailey is growing into the dog that every owner hopes for!
