Positive Reinforcement Dog Training in Toronto
Since 2010, over 10,000 dogs (and their families!) have taken classes with us. We are proud to offer the highest quality instruction and classroom experience for Toronto dog owners that want the very best for their pups.
With four convenient locations and also our virtual classroom, we are accessible to all our communities in Toronto and beyond!
Our Mission: Strengthen the Relationship Between You and Your Dog
Congratulations! You are (or are going to be) the owner of a new puppy. They’ll be taking classes with us as early as 8 weeks of age in our Puppy Start Right classes.
Do you have an adolescent (4 months+), teenage (under 1 year) or adult dog (including new rescue dogs)? This includes brand new students to our school, or even alumni of our Puppy Start Right classes. Foundation Skills is for you.
Are you struggling with a fearful, anxious, or aggressive dog? Group classes aren’t the answer – we can help you one on one.
Positive reinforcement methods are the most effective way to change behaviour, and make the learner (both human and dog!) feel supported and have a fun and enjoyable time learning.
For our canine learners, we strive to teach in the most efficient, least stressful, and most humane methods possible. For our human learners, we take dog training concepts and convey them in creative, witty, and clear ways.
We believe every dog (and their owners) should benefit from socialization and training as part of their health and wellness. We’re in convenient locations, with classes nearly every day of the week, at convenient times. To keep you from waiting too long, our core classes are “Start Anytime”, so enrollment is on-going. For private lessons, we continue to grow our team (currently 11 instructors) so you can see us as quickly as possible.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we were the first to offer live, interactive classes for our community and beyond. We’re ready to help you in-person at our facilities, or from the convenience and safety of your home in the online classroom.
