The trainers at Baby Dog Canada are knowledgeable and kind and have been instrumental in helping me raise a happy, well socialised dog. I highly recommend them to anyone with a new puppy or a dog who needs a refresher in some of their skills.
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.
We have taken both our puppies to BabyDog with fantastic results. Our training has never gone this well before. BabyDog is always focused on positive reinforcements and finding a training method the is kind and working well for our puppies.
We have had incredible success with Aviva and our dog Blue in the first four sessions we have done! We are looking forward to our next set of sessions and to see all of the skills our little pup can learn!
I would highly reccommend Dave to anybody! Helped me with basic obedience with my 2 year old dog (we never trained him at all) and the difference is night and day! Highly attentive and personalized service, Dave was always happy to help over the phone when I was frustrated or had questions. Call him. Now.
Meg was great with our goldendoodle Enzo! He caught on quick thanks to Meg's clear and kind instructions during the Level 1 obedience group classes, and we're making progress between classes too. We will be joining Level 2 group classes or consider private classes in the near future for sure! Meg was also super empathetic not only with the dogs but with us, the humans, and provided great feedback and tips!
Aviva was very knowledgeable, personable and flexible.
We just completed the intermediate training with Ruth and couldn't be more happy with the results. Ruth's passion, expertise and patience shines in her training. Our puppy is easily distracted and has a hard time settling after a distraction event. After the first class there was a significant improvement which only continued as the classes progressed. I am very happy with the results and would recommend this class to those who want to learn the skills for a happy dog life!
