CIA was formed in 1982 by Val Reith. All levels of obedience from beginner to utility are offered. Beginner is a class to teach puppies and young dogs how to be good family members and well mannered neighborhood pets by learning basic obedience exercises. Utility is the highest competitive obedience class recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club.

The perfect picture of obedience is a handler and their dog working together as a well run team. Every breed and every dog has a different personality and therefore requires different approaches to obedience training.

CIA has the honour of having many students with different breeds who have achieved the highest awards at obedience trials as well as placing in the top 10 obedience and various breed standings published by the magazine Dogs in Canada.

CIA currently offers classes at 884 Bradford St. and 975 Thomas Ave. in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
