Train with your brain, not pain! Humane, science-based training and behaviour modification for your family dog.

Over 10 classes a week in downtown Victoria as well as Day Training services and agility in North Saanich.
We specialize in foun­da­tion train­ing for pup­pies or older res­cues and in urban dog enrich­ment. We have an excel­lent track record help­ing pup­pies and shy dogs be braver, help­ing impul­sive dogs achieve self con­trol, and giv­ing own­ers the tools they need to train as pro­fes­sion­als would, all in a respect­ful, fun, and chal­leng­ing envi­ron­ment. Our staff have exper­tise both in teach­ing dogs and in coach­ing peo­ple; no ques­tion is too silly, no puppy too zoomy, no res­cue too shy or too rowdy! Classes in downtown Victoria
