    Puppies

    Set your dog up for lifelong success with our puppy program! For puppies as young as a few weeks old and up to 6 months old, our program is tailored to your puppy and can include socialization, neutrality, potty training, leash manners, crate training, and more. This training prevents any issues later in life such as reactivity, separation anxiety, and other behavioural concerns.

    Adults

    Let’s improve your relationship with your dog and solve any behavioural concerns in their adult years! From excessive barking to reactivity, we can look into methods and tools that can best help your dog which also improve your oh so important relationship with them.

We follow a balanced and evidence-based approach throughout our training. This allows us to adapt to each dog’s needs while achieving the goals that each owner has in mind.

In our adaptation for each dog, we follow a combination of training methods, whether that be positive reinforcement, e-collar conditioning, or simply more structure and boundaries in their life. Each dog is different and our team has the ability to adapt and solve any behavioural concerns with different methods.

Our trainers are constantly undergoing more training to ensure we can provide the most effective and efficient solution for each and every dog.

All training is conducted as a private, one-on-one session to make sure we are strictly focused on your dog.

Our Approach

Offerings

  • Each session is a private, one-on-one session to make sure we are strictly focused on you and your dog.

    Each session includes a custom training plan for you and your dog, along with extensive notes highlighting each exercise, things to work on, and the “how” and “why” of each method to best help you understand our training methods.

  • Each 1 hour session costs $100 CAD.

    Our initial 30-minute consultation call costs $30 CAD.

  • Our sessions are conducted where best suits your dog! If we are focused on improving leash manners and passing people quietly, we might train around Douglas Park, or if we are focused on neutrality, we might visit a local Home Depot.

  • Douglas Dog Care is fully insured with Profur Canada and licensed, ensuring your dog is protected.

  • We have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, but have particular expertise working with puppies and adolescent dogs.

    We are able to address a variety of training concerns including mild reactivity, leash manners, neutrality, socialization, and more.

    If we ever feel as though your dog needs further help, we will gladly refer you to another respected trainer.
