My dog and I took three classes here in 2021, two tricks classes and Sports Prep (a…read morepre-agility/conditioning-mix class). The ratio of two instructors for six students was brilliant, and unlike many multi-sport dog training centres, they don't require dogs to have done their basic obedience through them (important for me since we were new to the area). Some old reviews suggested a large-dog focus, but I went with my Chihuahua mix, and we were perfectly comfortable (although my dog was the smallest in two of her three classes). Even in the sports prep class where the dogs needed to do perch work, there were always smaller props for my dog to use and different sizes of everything from stools to balls were provided. And in the tricks class, one of the instructors even mentioned titling her own Chihuahua! The classroom was large and clean, and the instructors were all lovely.

Only problem was it seemed to be catered towards Golden Retrievers and Labs (which tend to be more laid back and pliable). If you have a terrier (or other high energy dog) then I cannot in good conscience recommend this course. Having a Retriever is like trying to catch rain in a jar. Having a Terrier is like trying to catch Lightning in that same jar. Find a course that caters to your dog (if such a thing exists). Please note, the Retrievers and Labs in our class did very well though.

I have a 14 month old miniature schnauzer who made it very difficult for me to allow people into my…read morehome, and to walk by people on our walks, as she is very people reactive. It was embarassing daily when she barked and lunged at people for no apparent reason. I had my first 2 hour lesson with Jason last night, and the difference I can see in my Teeka already has made me enjoy our walk this evening, instead of me feeling uneasy of her reactions towards people we pass on our walks. I would highly recommend Jason as he was able to assess my dog's unwanted bullying behaviour as "guarding me" in my house and in public. He showed me how to take control at home, and and on our walks. I look forward to our next 3 sessions and a calmer and socially graceful pup.

Jason is the puppy whisperer. It's as simple as that. He understands dogs and dogs understand him…read more My puppy is my first dog and I had no idea what I was doing. My fear of doing the wrong thing was affecting my dog and was making me an ineffective dog owner. Jason corrected my behaviour so that we could correct my puppy's behaviour. She's 6 months old right now and is a very relaxed and well adjusted pup. Nobody ever tells you just how much work having a puppy is and Jason put my mind at ease and gave me the confidence to take her out and not over react to situations because now I KNOW that she will come when called. With Jason's help I learned to enjoy my puppy and everything that comes with being a puppy. I realize that her puppyhood is short lived and I am enjoying every minute of it. Within my first meeting with Jason I learned the basics of what to do and what not to do, what dogs need in order to thrive, (and no, it's not just bones and love) and how to properly communicate with my dog to let her know what I want from her. Trust is key in a relationship with your pet and I wouldn't have learned that without Jason's help. No amount of reading puppy books or talking to other dog owners will give you the in depth knowledge and hands on experience that Jason will provide. If you're doing something wrong, Jason will tell you and understand that this is what's best for your pet. Mango and I both love Jason and would highly recommend him to any old or new pet owners. Thanks Jason, see you at the dog park!

On the first day she took the time to show us how to walk our dogs, and the difference was like night and day. Suzy also walks our dogs (we're now at three) on a daily basis, and no matter the weather, she shows up. We also board our dogs with her and it's reassuring to know that while we're away, our dogs are happy and safe. Our dogs absolutely love Suzy and our family is so grateful for her help. I highly recommend this service.
