Our trainer was intelligent, skilled, and kind. Helped us understand our own dog’s behaviour better and provided us tips and tricks to help us care for her safely in all settings. While we’ve had other dogs in the past, we’ve never had a bully breed so appreciated her generalized as well as her personalized insights. Always felt supported. Worth every penny.
Our training sessions have really helped us learn how to work with our high anxiety dog. The one on one sessions were really well catered to his and our specific needs. It is training with care and compassion and it has worked to change our dogs behaviour. They are so generous with their knowledge which makes the sessions really high value - definitely worth the investment, and worth the wait if they are busy.
Our dog Dewey is a rescue from Mexico and came to us with some behavioural issues. Aviva the owner of Baby Dog training is the best trainer we’ve encountered. She uses the principles of psychology including desensitization and positive reinforcement. Aviva is kind and patient and has a sense of humour. Dewey has improved and we will definitely recommend Baby Dog training!!!!!
Great dog behaviour knowledge, we learned so much about calming signals. Aviva is amazing. Can't wait to go back for more classes.
Our puppy has attended puppy socialization and obedience. We've loved all of it. We've learned so much about positive training and it has absolutely made training our pup a joyful experience.
The best investment I could possibly make for me and my puppy, thanks Emma!
I would highly recommend BabyDog! I was a first dog owner and they were patient, informative, flexible and very helpful plus they were all so lovely :)
we did our first 4 sessions with Danica. We have a stubborn breed and are very happy with the results we got. So rewarding!
