We use LIMA (Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive) principles, positive reinforcement focus, relationship & welfare based, applied behavior analysis (ABA), and the LEGS model (Learning, Environment, Genetics, Self) to support lasting behaviour change.

We do not believe in a one size fits all approach - we assess the dog and their lifestyle as a whole to create a custom holistic plan.

Your home or out in the community, park or area where you dog needs to progress.

Packages include private 1-on-1 sessions, a tailored training plan, between-session support, access to trained decoy dogs when helpful for your goals.

The primary difference is that a certified dog trainer has passed standardized exams and met verified experience requirements from an independent, third-party organization.

In contrast, a non-certified trainer operates in a legally unregulated industry with no mandatory government licensing, official testing, or oversight.

CPDT - KA also requires that continued education occurs to renew the certification every three years.
