Helping you and your dog learn together through practical, stress-free training that makes sense on both ends of the leash
Maisy & I really enjoyed & learned a lot from our puppy classes. Definitely recommend!!
Great dog behaviour knowledge, we learned so much about calming signals. Aviva is amazing. Can't wait to go back for more classes.
Dave is a great trainer. My Staffordshire Terrier - Blue loves seeing Dave and does everything Dave asks of him. Dave is easy to talk to and understands what I would like to work towards being able to do with Blue. Blue and I will continue training with Dave. I highly recommend him.
Puppy socialization taught my pup so many lessons, and obedience classes taught me so many more. Amazing experience all around. Massive thank yous to Rebecca, Alysha and Danika. Incredible trainers! We wouldn't have the pup we have today without your help
We have thoroughly enjoyed both the puppy socialization classes and the obedience classes. The trainers are excellent with dogs AND people - always on time, professional, and knowledgeable.
A wonderful place for young pups to have safe and supervised playtime. While educating owners about appropriate play.
Me and River loved our meeting with Emma today. River is napping...as she does, but this nap looks extra good. We both learned lots and some things I didn't expect. I feel so reassured in developing a healthy relationship of River bitting her toys and all the alternatives Emma showed us and some I have already been doing like redirecting. In many ways I feel like I got more out of the training to support a healthy positive relationship with my puppy. I feel grateful to have started. And....everything is YES.... Emma trained me well!!!
BabyDog and their team of trainers offer the most knowledgable and skilled dog training sessions or puppy classes in Victoria/Greater Victoria! In my experience, they always amazed me with their expertise at helping humans and dog develop a better connection. Highly recommend!
