How we train
We use rewards-based, non-aversive training techniques. Our goal is a strong relationship between you and your puppy.
Our approach centers around realistic techniques and effective management tools to foster a harmonious existence for your new family member.
We can tailor your lessons to the issues you need help solving, your priorities, and your family circumstance.

Jake (he/him)
Director and Coach
Jake got his start with animals working at the SPCA Summer Day camps teaching kids to care for their pets. While doing this Jake also began to take an interest in psychology while attending UBC. It was a natural fit for Jake to take his passion for animals and psychology and turn it towards teaching humans how to teach their pets. These days, Jake mentors our retail team on how to educate clients in store. When he's not training dogs Jake loves to cook, listen to music and wrestle with the 2 little ones.
