BOW WOW ACADEMY REVIEWS
Yoko is an awesome trainer! We see a big difference on our puppy Lila after just 5 sessions. Her classes are so fun that both my puppy and us are having a good time. Her training methods are very effective that you can easily practise them even after the class. We recommend this class to anyone who wants to have some trainings with their furry friends :).
We can't say enough about Yoko and her puppy training methods, we LOVE working with her. We worked with Yoko at Bow Wow since we got our two little babies and continue working with her today. Not only is she an absolute joy, she empowers you to train with positivity; never once making you feel guilty for not understanding or for behaviour that needs correcting. I would recommend anyone looking for dog training to contact Bow Wow Academy and book with Yoko immediately. She's the best!.
Yoko is an incredible trainer. She is so positive and makes the learning environment so fun for puppies and owners alike. After every class she sends a detailed email summarizing everything we learned in class so we can remember how to practice at home. Highly recommend.

BRAVO DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
The trainers who train you! We adopted a street dog five years ago and Reneé worked with us to create a calm, loving and trusting environment for our pup. She gave us the tools to become his advocate and give him the best life possible. We initially completed the 'Mind your manners' course and I've continued to learn through Bravo Dog's social media and podcast. When you choose Bravo Dog, you choose people who use scientifically proven best practices and who have your dog's welfare at the heart of all they do.
Bravo Dog Training has been amazing to work with! I’ve learned so much about how to help my sensitive English mastiff through fear free & positive reinforcement training… the specialized training and certifications really show, truly experts in animal behaviour. Working with Sandy in particular was amazing & she helped me understand how to empower help my dog build confidence through positive reinforcement & providing choice to help with fear. She fine tunes my training & helps me see when I’m luring vs reinforcing, helps me problem solve and overall is such a support & wealth of knowledge. More importantly my relationship with my dog is better than ever thanks to Bravo .
Bravo Dog are the best!! The trainers are knowledgeable, professional and use positive reinforcement to teach you and your pup how to learn more about each other. Sandy is amazing, patient and a true pro at what she does! The small class sizes really help ensure you get the most from each session. Really could not recommend the team at Bravo Dog more!.

Cascadia Dog Training focuses on ensuring your dog has excellent manners around the home without keeping a leash on them. They also make the process easy to understand so that you and your dog can enjoy the training session. They have designed their programs so that you get to choose the program that fits you best, based on your preferences. All of their programs are done as one-on-one private lessons so that you and your dog can get the individual attention needed to succeed. Their programs (and fees) are customizable because they realize that every dog is different and may not fit into one of their programs exactly as they are. Michelle Sellars is the owner of this business. Michelle at Cascadia Dog Training gives you clear direction and instruction with training tools that work very quickly and effectively. She is very knowledgeable and has the perfect solution and approach to solving every dog problem.

CASCADIA DOG TRAINING REVIEWS
What a delight it was to work with Michelle to train our two Bichons, Stella and Ollie! Both of them were much in need of guidance and help to be the best dogs they could be. And in working with Michelle we learned, too, how to be better dog parents! Her guidance was masterful and so effective. And now we have two much more relaxed, well behaved and happy pups! We are so thankful to have found Michelle and Cascadia dog training! With gratitude, Lorrine and Bob.
It's been 4 months since we finished our training with Michelle and we couldn't be happier with the results, it feels like we have a new dog! Our dog Rune is a catahoula/hound/pointer mix and has intense pray drive to the point that we lost her overnight on a hike end of last summer. That was our breaking point. We knew we had to invest in proper training, and the wait was definitely worth it.Michelle worked with us to customize the training plan to suit our needs and goals with Rune. She's a nervous dog so we started out slow. We emphasized that off leash reliability was our main goal so we focused more on that in our sessions. We can easily call Rune off her favourite pray like birds and squirrels and get her in an off leash heel when passing other dogs or kids. We actually trust her to listen to us. She's a much happier dog now that she gets regular off leash time and this has helped a lot with her reactivity because she has the proper, breed appropriate outlets for her energy. Also Michelle is a lovely, understanding, non-judgement and funny person who I always looked forward to spending our sessions with. Thank you Michelle!!
Dear Michelle, I want you to know how much I appreciate the time and effort you have spent training me to be a better leader to my dog Pixel. When you first met Pixel he was in his crate barking wildly and ready to bite you if given the chance. You said he was a very insecure dog who felt he had to be in charge. At the time, he could not be trusted off leash because, if startled, there was a chance he would rush up to joggers, bikers, etc. and possibly bite them. On leash, he could be even worse because he felt he could not get away. During the training sessions, I learned to walk him in a heel position, first with a muzzle and then without. Eventually I was able to let him off leash safely, knowing he would come back to me instantly when I called. This was possible with the use of the e-collar and remote. Pixel has become much more comfortable around joggers, bicyclers and skate boarders, and he is more comfortable when visitors enter our home. He doesn't feel he has to be in charge. Thank you again for all you did to make Pixel and me feel safe and secure. Sincerely, Laurie
