Q&A Dog Training The Humane Way
Now servicing Downtown Vancouver along with the East side & West side. If you are out of catchment and would like to work with me, we can meet in a quiet neighbourhood within my service areas.
Q&A Dog Training's goal is to coach you on how to best train your dog using the latest science & reward based methods. I specialize in reactivity cases & coach you on how to best work around your dogs triggers. Living with a reactive dog can have it's challenges. With a little understanding, team work, training & maybe some extra help from our veterinarian friends, it's possible to manage your dogs behaviour and improve their quality of life.
Working with rescue dogs can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. These dogs have often been through difficult experiences, such as abuse, neglect, or abandonment, and may have behavioural issues as a result. One key to success when working with dogs is to go at their pace and take your time.
I am happy to assist you in helping your dog feel comfortable in their new surroundings. I can provide tips on how to set up their environment and start to make it feel like a safe space for them. Let's work together to make this transition as smooth as possible for the new member of your family.
I'll never guarantee a quick fix in a certain amount of time. Changing behaviours doesn't happen over night but I can guarantee that your voice will be heard & supported. I have your dogs best interest in mind and I'll go at the pace that you & your dog are comfortable with.
