LUV-A-K9 INC. REVIEWS
The trainers and dog walkers at Luv-a-K9 are beyond amazing. We have a smart, but very anxious rescued border collie. Before starting with the team, we were afraid to take our dog for walks in the neighbourhood because he was stressed and unpredictable. The stress is gone and we now look forward to walking a confident, secure dog. All of the different options for ongoing training have allowed us to create a predictable routine that gives both the humans and dog in our family a chance to keep learning and practicing what we have learned. The trainers do an amazing job of meeting everyone where they are at, and making classes and walks as safe and inclusive as possible for all the participants, even our baby! The customer service for the exclusive services has been exceptional too.
We have come here since Day 1 w our 8 week old puppy., now 15 months old. We have not missed a week. Great exposure for him to a training environment. Of course great for handlers as well. We just titled Rally Novice, 3 legs in 3 tries, got 2nd & 2 3rds! Yaah. Kudos to Luv-A-K9. We are now working on Agility & finished the 3 levels. Now on to the practice field. Yaah
Been training here for years. What I and my dogs have learned is reflective of their show wins and they love the association with other people and their dogs. The trainers really care about your dog and you. It is just the best training place to go.

SHAGGY DOG PET SERVICES REVIEWS
We adopted a six year old pocket beagle, Penny, from a breeder. She came with severe separation anxiety. She was destructive when we went out and so we tried to crate her, but she got worse and soiled in her crate, and tore everything apart in there. We couldn't go out anywhere and were at the point of taking her back when we read Shaggy Dog's website. After three months, with Victoria, the change in our dog is like night and day - no more destruction or soiling. She is now a pleasure to have and there is no chance she will be taken back or rehomed because she is now the dog we wanted. Victoria has given us the tools to work with and we are now equipped to continue working with our little girl to increase the length of time we can leave her alone. Loved working with Victoria. We are seniors and Victoria was so patient with us, even when it came to finding our way around her zoom lessons. I have already recommended her to other dog owners and will definitely continue to do so whenever I see the need. Because of Victoria's training, we are on the move to have our life back again.
I had 3 wonderful sessions with Victoria. I am a first time puppy owner, so I was nervous about how to train my little miniature poodle. Victoria was the answer! She is patient, kind, knowledgeable and efficient. I was amazed how much we got done in 3 one hour sessions. I really feel confident that I am on the way to having a well trained and socialized puppy. Thank you Victoria for all your hard work and great follow-up emails detailing what to work on. I highly recommend Victoria’s services for any dog owner.
Victoria was very knowledgeable while assisting us in learning to understand our dog's behaviour. She has taught us the skills to respond correctly to his high energy and boredom. We are so very pleased with the services provided, and are very thankful to Victoria for helping us learn the tools to better support our busy boy.

KINGSTON CANINE CENTER REVIEWS
I had an excellent experience with Bill. (Deb, who is mentioned in many reviews, had passed away before I started training with Bill). I had a 3-month-old husky mix when we started, and though huskies are notoriously stubborn, Lucca took to the training extremely well and was always excited to go to Bill's. Bill has a great way with dogs and with people (except the rare few, who I see from one review, have unreasonable expectations). He is relaxed but firm. He is not precious about dogs. If they need to be reined in, he does so, recognizing that it is in their own best interests. He also is not precious about people, letting them know gently but clearly when they have to up their game in managing their pet--or when their pet is engaging in potentially dangerous activity. The creature who benefited most from the training was me. I have so much more knowledge and confidence now--and a solid relationship with Lucca--thanks to Bill's training. I happily recommend him to anyone looking for dog training.
Bill is amazing and so patient, he helped my Autistic son and I train his service dog. Unfortunately his dog suddenly passed, but my son is working with Bill again with his new dog. Bill feels like family even after our dog is trained we’ll continue our weekly training to help keep our dog mentally stimulated.
Recommend them for individual training . They work with you to get the best from your dog using positive reinforcement with a very occasional correction if needed. Bill and Debbie know their stuff! Thanks.
