Danika is very professional, and encouraging in ensuring you get the value for the training. She was able to address behavioral issues with my puppy and was able to provide effective solutions. More importantly, she provided tips on how to train humans and little humans on proper dog handling.
Very happy with the work that Dave did with our dog Willow. He helped her with her reactivity, and in a short period of time we have already seen significant improvement.
My pup was very shy at first and quite nervous around other dogs. After attending Babydog's Puppy Socializations he came out of his shell and had so much fun playing with the other dogs. They also taught me skills of what to look for in safe puppy play :) Can't recommend enough :)
BabyDog is an amazing company. We have a rescue chihuahua mix who was fearful, shy, and had trouble walking on leash. We attended socialization classes (the shy puppy class at Royal Oak Bosley's), basic training, and intermediate training. We are truly raising a dog we can take anywhere! Aviva and Ruth personalize classes when needed and possible, and really engage with the dogs and their families. Our dog's needs were met and so were ours. I cannot recommend BabyDog highly enough! Their training classes are well worth the price, and their flexible drop-in model is fantastic. I could never thank Aviva and Ruth enough for how much they have helped us connect and learn with our dog :)
We've been taking out puppy to BabyDog's socialization classes. Both the puppy and I learned a lot! We found Ruth to be very knowledgeable and helpful - enough so that we ended up registering for a private training session and an obedience class through BabyDog, both also taught by Ruth. Our puppy has learned a ton and so have we. Throughout the entire process Ruth has been wonderful, and we can't recommend her and BabyDog enough!
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!!!!!
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.
Amazing people and great help. My dog has gotten so far with them helping. I highly suggest tomey k9 to anyone.
