We had a great experience with Danika (5 private sessions), working on our pup's reactivity. She was excellent at checking in each week, making sure we felt we were focusing our time on the skills we were hoping to improve, and she gave us a bounty of helpful techniques to practice. We were also provided with plenty of external resources to better understand where our pup's behaviours were stemming from. Overall, this was a fantastic learning experience and I would recommend Danika and BabyDog to anyone looking for a positive-reinforcement trainer for their dog!

Danika was our one on one trainer that we can not recommend enough. We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with them. We came in with goals and we feel that all our goals were met and beyond.

I want to thank Danika for her training of my dog Teddy. I was having some problems with my dog and obedience, but through the work that we did, he is now a much friendlier dog, and listens to commands. Danika was always able to give me advice, or answer my questions, and I feel I was also "trained" at the same time. It was very educational. I would suggest training for every puppy (or older dog), and would recommend BabyDog to anyone looking for a training source.I look forward to the group socialization in April.

Danika was AMAZING to work with!My partner & I adopted Bailey, A very sweet but very reactive staffordshire/pit bull mix in June of last year. Danika has been working with Bailey since our 3rd week of having her! Danika has taught us how to handle Bailey and when/how to remove her from situations that aren’t working for her. (Not to mention Bailey is absolutely in love with her) I feel SO much more confident with Bailey after having Danika as a trainer. 10/10 you will not regret working with Danika.

Aviva was an excellent trainer. My dogs are walking better and becoming less reactive to other dogs. I have noticed a real difference
