Positive Reinforcement Dog Training
Feel empowered & confident being your dog’s trainer
Next Foundations starts May 2nd! Wednesday Puppy Socialization
Does this sound familiar?
Do you have a four-legged family member and it’s harder than you imagined?
- Puppy bites are worse than you anticipated?
- Do you feel ignored when you cue a behaviour?
- Do you have a dog that runs the opposite direction when you call?
- Do you avoid walks because your dog is pulling on their leash and you are frustrated?
- Do you feel embarrassed when your dog is jumping on guests at the door?
I’ve been there. I know how our dog’s actions can deeply conflict with our emotions. We love them but are hurt, frustrated and embarrassed by their behaviour.
I know it is difficult, but with our positive reinforcement training and help, life with your doggo family member can be more like you imagined.

Reviews
Great feedback!
“Our instructor, Rebecca, was great. She explained clearly what behaviours we were working on and the steps to get success. She was open to questions and provided great feedback during our practice.”
— Nora
Learned so much!
We also learned so much about him through Rebecca’s observations – it helped us understand his psychology better so we understand his motivations and how to best reward him. Archie was always very happy to see Rebecca and we appreciate everything she taught us.”
— Wes
