As with humans, each stage of a dog’s life presents its own joys and challenges.

We offer a variety of Life Skills, Behavioural, Fitness and Conditioning programs using proven, science-based progressive methods. Programs are tailored to the needs of each dog, based on their developmental, emotional and physical capabilities.


Our clientele includes:

  • Veterinary referrals for dogs recovering from injury, surgery, or requiring one-on-one behavioural wellness support and coaching;


  • Members of the sporting and competition dog community who appreciate the importance of developing strong foundations and maintaining optimal fitness levels in their Canine partners;


  • Companion Dogs and their People, who prefer private and small class sizes with sessions geared to their priorities and lifestyle needs.

About US

I’m a professional dog trainer, but what does that mean for you as a prospective client? To arrive at this place I have logged thousands of hours training dogs independently, as well as teaching others in private and small group sessions. With my passion for continual improvement, I devote dozens of hours each year to learning from the very best in the fields of ethology, learning theory, canine behaviour, obedience and skills training, fitness and conditioning.

To ensure my work remains evidence-based and reflects the highest ethical and professional standards, I hold professional affiliations with the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers, the Pet Professional Guild, and the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (supporting member).

If you are interested in working with an expert who integrates the science of canine behaviour and the art of training, with kindness and respect for both ends of the leash, please get in touch.

You will love the relationship you create with your dog.
