Our moto refers to your dog’s owners needing help. We firmly believe that when dog owners learn the skills needed to lead their dogs, dogs become calm and confident in their owners. When that happens, your dog becomes the best dog it can and has a great life with it's family.
Our private training focuses mostly on you.
We help you develop the skills that you need to teach your dog and
become confident in your ability to handle your dog.
We provide services to Victoria’s Westshore and Cowichan Valley. We provide group, private and customized training. If you are looking for someone to help you and your dog overcome a challenge, we are here for you. We look forward to seeing you in one of our classes or we will be happy to create a personalized training plan for you and your dog.
Your dog is not just a dog, they are a member of your family, your pack. We will work with you to give you the knowledge and skills that you need to help your dog. Your dog will become a reflection of you and how you lead your pack. By identifying and addressing the areas that you need support, you will be able to help your dog to become a respectful member of your pack.
