Emma was our trainer and she did a fantastic job with our nervous rescue pup! We saw incredible changes in her behaviour over several sessions with her. Definitely recommended
We went to Babydog's socialization classes from 8 weeks till about 6 or 7 months and it was amazing! Madeline learned to be around every kind of dog and a lot of different people also. If you have a young dog that you want to learn the ways of the world in a safe and fun environment, I cant imagine a better experience than we had at Babydog!!!
Baby Dog puppy socialization classes are such a blast. Watching your pup learn how to interact and have fun with dogs of all sizes in a controlled environment is great. As a new dog owner this is exactly what we needed.
I would highly recommend BabyDog Canada for anyone's puppy training and socialization needs. Aviva and her team of trainers and helpers, are knowledgeable and supportive. I grew up with dogs and have learned more in these classes now, than all those earlier experiences with my previous dogs. "Had I known then, what I know now"... Thank you Aviva and team!
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
I wish I could give more stars!!! Meg is the absolute best. Hands down one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had with a dog trainer. Our puppy Rosie absolutely loves her and actually listens! Meg not only taught our dog many useful things but she gave us so much knowledge that we never would have known before. You can tell she actually is passionate about what she does, genuinely cares and wants to see you and your dog thrive together! Meg, thank you for everything. Best dog trainer in Victoria hands down!!!!!
Awesome trainers! Really help your dog receive a positive start.
I had the opportunity to see Emma in action at her socialization class for shy/tiny dogs last Saturday. I brought along a timid foster dog and couldn’t believe how calmly and skilfully she managed a class of 10 dogs and their owners. She was quickly able to organize the pups into appropriate small groups and guide us through introduction exercises. I learned so much as a participant, and while observing the other groups too. Emma set each dog up for success by ensuring everyone had a safe space to move through the instructions at their own pace. I’m thrilled with the progress my dog made in just one hour! We’ll definitely attend the class as often as possible, and I’d recommend Emma to anyone looking for a dog trainer.
