1000+ dogs (and their people) helped
Aviva was great with our young dog Luna! She was very knowledgable and had great suggestions with everything we asked her about. Our dog deals with a variety of issues (over sensitivity, hyperactive, aggression, fear etc.) and each week we threw her something new that Luna was dealing with and she knew right away how to help us and give us the tools to help our dog. I would recommend her to anyone!
Our puppy has attended puppy socialization and obedience. We've loved all of it. We've learned so much about positive training and it has absolutely made training our pup a joyful experience.
Baby Dog…I must say, having had dogs all of my life, showing, training, and competing, taking my new young “man” to baby socialization classes was brilliant! Baby Dog taught me a lot as well. I love that they teach and use positive reinforcement philosophy for training. As we encountered some growing pain challenges, particularly with “focusing”, I took advantage of a few private lessons that were spot on! Aviva knew which tool to pull out of her tool box to assist with our particular challenges. Thank you Aviva and Co for all that you do and offer! I have a dog who loves to work, is engaged and focused, and who interacts respectfully with other canines! I highly recommend Baby Dog…for your young pup, as well as your “mature” pup.
We took Finley to both the socialization and obedience classes. What a great time we had! We both learned so much from Aviva! It it so important for new puppy parents to get your dog socialized!
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.
Exceedingly knowledgable trainer. Tara always came up with multiple options two promote desirable behaviour and correct unwanted ones.
Had a great time training our puppy with BabyDog. We have seen fantastic results and the training truly got my partner and I on the same page. We will continue using BabyDog and have booked private sessions to further her training.
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.
It only took one lesson to see improvement in my dog. She has completely turned around in 4 lessons, and now we have the tools to keep growing on our own. The other dog owners in our neighborhood are constantly complimenting Beans on how far she’s come!
We brought our puppy Lola to Level 1 Obedience class with Meg. She was an incredible instructor. She explained and demonstrated the training clearly and was fun and patient. She always checked in to see if we had questions and was also happy to answer questions outside the curriculum. When we had missed a class, she took the time to show us what we had missed. We learned a lot and were so impressed by how quickly our puppy learned each task. Taking the class with Meg helped build our confidence with training our puppy using positive reinforcement. We can’t wait to take her to Level 2!
Between the fun puppy meet and greets and the training, this was a great time for our little Cairn Terrier. Emma was engaging, knowledgeable and excellent to work with and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!
Danika is an amazing instructor. She takes the time to engage with each dog and owner and is very professional and knowledgeable. My puppy walked into the first class, shy and never normally approaching strangers, and ran up to Danika and stayed by her side, like she had known her for years! That is her magic! Danika makes everyone feel like they are heard and the star student of the class! I highly recommend Babydog lessons. We are so grateful and we have learned so much. We will be back for more lessons. Thank you so much Danika, From Heather Ann and Lucy Belle
I was so impressed and happy with the work Danika did with my dog Higgins and I. Higgins is two and had a bad habit of jumping on people when he was excited - not aggressively, but given he is 80 lbs, he could hurt someone badly. Danika provided 4 private lessons and stayed very focused on the problem of jumping. She was knowlegeable, professional but also very fun to work with. Higs never never wanted her to leave! Most importantly, I now know what approach to take to make sure he stays under control.
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.
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.
Training with Aviva has been a game changer for helping my dog Ollie gain confidence and start to conquer his reactivity. She helped us build a solid foundation in manageable steps and most importantly made it fun for both of us! I highly recommend sessions with Aviva to learn how to deal with behaviour issues and build a solid relationship with your dog.
