3 Best Dog Trainers in Toronto, ON

Very useful if you have a dog that you want to train in a fun and non-stressful way. Clearly demonstrated and lots of practice learning how to get your dog to come, stay, etc. Fairly pricey but small groups with dogs separated by barriers so not too much distraction. I recommend it, wish I'd done it with previous dogs.

My dog and I had a great experience for our first time and that Belle became a teacher’s assistant one his first day at school….. I am a proud pet mama. When Hounds Fly is a great academy for first timers and they are very well trained, knowledgeable and fun…. Definitely recommend this school to my friends and neighbours!!

Ethan is a wonderful trainer. He is thoughtful and insightful with his tips, and you can tell he truly cares deeply about dogs. He is patient and offers excellent advice, always taking the time to work through what each individual dog needs. Thank you, Ethan!

Cass and Anesh have taken our rescue, Miles, from the "most anxious" dog in his litter, to a dog that is confident, non-reactive and trustworthy. After rescuing Miles from Mexico, he was quickly labeled extremely nervous. He was leash reactive towards both dogs and humans, aggressive towards strangers in our home, and just plain unpredictable. Cass and Anesh gave us a variety of tools to help us learn how to communicate with Miles, and for Miles to learn how to communicate with us. We followed their advice word for word and because of that, we now have a pup who listens, can relax and have fun, and is open to meeting new people — something we never thought was possible. We can’t thank or recommend K9 Academy enough. It’s because of these folks that we have essentially been gifted a new dog, and Miles have been gifted a more joyful life. If any of the above sounds familiar, K9 Academy is definitely for you.

Before we bought our dog Simba in for training with Anesh, I saw all the 5 star ratings and thought "this is too good to be true". Well it's not. Simba is a rescue dog that's over a year old, was not house trained, pulled on his leash, went nuts when he saw other dogs and ran away any time you let him off leash. He's also a hound and hounds are notorious for not listening. After being with Anesh and Cass for two weeks, Simba now doesn't pull on his leash, comes instantly when called and sits when other dogs come by. We honestly can't believe Simba is the same dog. It is such a joy to go for a walk and let him off leash without the anxiety. I'd give 6 stars if I could!

Amazing overall experience...I had my 1 year old border collie mix checked in for 1 month boarding and training service due to his obedience issues and extreme aggression towards strangers. Anesh, K9 Academy trainer, came to our home to pick him up, he was very professional and knowledgeable, patiently answered all our questions and concerns. Anesh provided 2 lessons to our family with my dog at the end of the training month...What a difference! I feel like a dream came true. My dog’s obedience is now a 100% better and his aggression is now limited to just looking at strangers, minimal to no barking at home and best of all, I feel that he is much more relaxed and happier. Great work Anesh!
