Are You—or Your Dog—In The DOGHOUSE?

How’s your relationship with your dog? When’s the last time you really asked what they’d like to do today? Maybe they'd vote for tug-of-war with the leash, a little shoe-chewing mischief, or some non-stop backyard barking. (Just kidding… we hope!)

But seriously—those behaviours aren’t ideal for a dog that’s truly thriving.

Because living their best life—means living like a dog.

A strong bond goes far beyond belly rubs and tail wags. It’s about connection, communication, and understanding what your dog really needs.

Whether you’re welcoming a new pup into the family or trying to reconnect with an old companion, it’s important to find the right fit—and the right tools.

That’s where we come in.

We offer fully certified, professional dog training and coaching to help improve the relationship between you and your dog—no matter the breed, shape, or size.

Best of all?
100% of funds raised support dogs still waiting for their forever homes.

DAY TRAIN (offered Fridays)

Real training. Real results. Real-life success.

Perfect for busy dog parents, DAY TRAIN is designed to give your dog a full day of professional training, enrichment, and social exposure—so they come home mentally stimulated, physically fulfilled, and one step closer to becoming your dream dog.

Your dog will spend the day working closely with our certified trainers, practicing essential behaviours around other dogs, people, and real-world distractions. You’ll also receive personalized guidance to help you reinforce their progress at home—because real training works best when it continues beyond the classroom.

  • Drop-off: 7:00–9:00 AM
