Dog Training with a focus on play

Relationship-based training is just that, centred around your relationship with your dog. I strive to improve the relationship between the human and canine so that your dog WANTS to work with you. Training should be fun for both parties, and a lot can be accomplished by using play to teach our dogs.

  • Training Designed for your Dog

    I provide an individualized training approach that works for both you and your dog, no matter the issue. Whether you are preparing to bring home a puppy or you have a rescue dog with behavioural problems, I will work with you to find a solution to your training issues. I specialize in working with rescue dogs who are fearful and have low confidence, but have experience with a variety of different dogs. I will design a training plan specific to you and your dog, providing support in person, and with follow-up email support.

  • Behaviour Issues

    Behaviour modification is not easy and takes time. I strive for the owner and the dog to have a clear line of communication and will teach you how to accomplish this. I will teach you how to motivate your dog and build your relationship with trust, respect, fun and authority. I can work with you and your dog to over come behaviours like reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, separation anxiety, dog socialization and more. Please reach out to me about your dogs behaviour issues and we can discuss during a consultation call.

  • Methods

    Playing with our dogs gives them an outlet for biological fulfillment and can help them gain confidence while bonding with the owner through a social and FUN activity. Above all my goal is for the dog to be motivated to engage with you and work with you, and for there to be a clear communication system between the dog and handler.
