Hi Donna, it sounds like you have a great rapport with dogs. But I'm the father of three that you…read moreharassed on the beach today for being here without a dog. We sit where we sit on the beach in Cadboro Bay because when my partner shows up with her dog we want her to be able to join us. The dogs off leash don't bother us unless they're rooting through our stuff, and we don't bother them. My kids were pretty upset because they thought that we weren't allowed to sit in the same spot we always sit on the beach. For your reference this isn't a dog beach, it's a public frontage where dogs are permitted, under effective control or on a leash. We would be very happy to refer our friends to your business, if you stop harassing us on the beach. The image attached is from the Saanich Municipal Website. You mentioned this was one of the only parks people could bring their dogs. In fact of the 170 public parks in Saanich, only 6 have any restrictions.

If anybody is looking for a patient,assertive, friendly and passionate dog trainer, contact Donna…read more I called Hot Diggity Dogs because I was desperate, and having a breakdown over my dog with behavioral issues. She picked up the phone right away and listened to my situation and managed to squeeze me in the same day despite her busy schedule. When she arrived I was very impressed by her calm, confident energy and her warm smile put me at ease right away. She brought a stack of study notes for me and for the first 30 minutes or so we sat down while we talked and got the dog familiarized with Donna. After the 30 minutes was over, we spent the rest of the time training. I noticed that she is all about positive reinforcement, and does NOT use any form of punishment. I feel like Donna went the extra mile because I did not feel like just another client..having her over was like having a friend. I was not rushed and even stayed to answer my questions. I was contacted a week later or so to follow up on my dog's progress. Not only is she fabulous with dogs but she also has great interpersonal skills. After the session was over she never mentioned about booking more sessions with her;Instead she encouraged me to read the notes she gave me. Thank you so much- it was lovely meeting her 2 lovely dogs Blossom and Angus as well.
