How It Works

Complimentary Consultation

We set up a 15-minute phone call to discuss what you're looking for.

2-Hour Assessment

We evaluate your goals and your dogs’ needs to determine if we are a good fit.

Custom Coaching Package

We customize a coaching & training package to suit your objectives.

Our coaching packages can be designed for:

  • Getting a new dog off to a good start
  • Introducing another dog to the home
  • Addressing specific behavioural issues ranging from anxiety to aggression
  • Successfully fostering a rescue/shelter dog​
  • Preparing your dog to go to work with you
  • Preparing your dog to engage in specific activities such as sport
I provide service in English, French, and Arabic. Since every dog and every context are different, pricing will reflect the unique demands of your family. Virtual hourly rate is $145. In-person hourly rate starts at $185. Prices are subject to change and do not include HST. Discounts are available for seniors, students, and those demonstrating financial need.
