3 Best Dog Trainers in Kelowna, BC

We just completed our two week Board and train at Polite Paws with our 1 year old Yorkie Izzy. Laura and Jacob were exceptional with him and took great care in his training, playing close attention to his 6 lbs size. He had prior minimal training and would listen sporadically to commands but now he is very intuitive to our commands and what is expected of him. We also were given full instructions to carry forward his training in unison with their foundation set in the course. I can't thank you enough he is doing wonderful and is the sweetest little guy that just wants to keep pleasing. Hank you Laura and Jacob

We did the board and train with Laura to help our 5 year old work on his dog aggression and socialization. We had trainers in the past but still had difficulty controlling him. After he was with Laura for a week he learned new techniques that enabled him to walk in city park. Not only did Rudy learn but Laura spent time with us to teach us how to control him and make him a calmer and more sociable dog. Thanks again Laura!

Very thankful for the help anina and Laura gave us with our dog and his reactivity. With their guidance he has improved soooo much and they taught us a lot too to help our boy thrive the board and train with lessons on Fridays sets both dog and owner up to succeed. Eternally grateful for you both!

I can’t say enough good things about Lynne and her scent training classes. Within the first couple sessions, I could feel my bond with my dog strengthen in such a meaningful way. We’ve learned how to communicate better and trust each other more. We’re truly a team now, not just owner and pet. Such a fun way to keep both our minds busy this winter! THANK YOU LYNNE.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at K9 Connection! Lynne is an incredible trainer whose passion for dogs and commitment to positive reinforcement truly sets her apart. From the very first session, she made both us and our dog feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Lynne's approach is rooted in kindness, patience, and trust. She takes the time to understand each dog’s individual personality and tailors the training to bring out their best. With her guidance, we’ve seen amazing progress—not only in behavior but in our dog’s confidence and happiness. What we appreciated most was Lynne’s emphasis on building a strong, respectful bond through reward-based methods. There’s no fear or punishment here—just clear communication, encouragement, and a lot of tail wags. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly gifted dog trainer, Lynne at K9 Connection is the one to call. We’re so grateful to her for everything she’s done for our family!

Lynne is a fantastic trainer who knows her stuff and teaches in a modern way. We started with puppy foundations, followed by scent class, and looking forward to joining basic manners. Makes socialization the right way a breeze!
