Best Dog trainer in Canada

A	Amanda Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Alison is a top tier dog trainer! My pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog training classes. We took the "taking it to the streets" class which was our pup's second round of classes. Despite all the distractions and challenges that come with being outside, the classes were well structured with specific locations chosen for the learning objectives of each class - we even saw horses as part of trigger-management training! Compared to other classes we've taken before, Alison is really good at explaining the reasoning behind the training techniques in a way that helps owners understand the ways that dogs think and learn. She is also able to control the class while giving attention to each dog/owner's individual progress. Youtube is great but it's really nice to attend a class and get real time coaching for both yourself and your puppy in a controlled environment with an expert. Totally worth it!
S	Sonia Stewart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We initially brought our 5 month old puppy, Parker, to her Life Skills Class with the goal to nail down basic obedience (which he was pretty good at already) just in a group setting with lots of distractions. We got so much more. Alison brings so much knowledge and expertise to the table. She is extremely patient, positive, funny and helped point out how my partner and I can do better on communicating on basic commands even our pup knows well. Our class had a broad range of skills and backgrounds and she was able to work and adapt to each dog very well so that that each family felt like they made progress each week. Thanks so much Alison!
E	Emily On on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We enrolled in the puppy start right preschool followed by the puppy kindergarten. Our puppy Linus had lots of socialization opportunity and learned basic commands/manners. Alison limits each class to 4 puppies which allow for more attention for each pup. We also booked 2 private lessons taken place at our home where Alison gave us training methods tailored to our living style. She is very patient and never rushes on time. I can definitely tell how much she cares for the pups!
S	Sharina Reddy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Alison is such a wonderful trainer. I rescued my dog a few months ago and attended her Takin’ It to the Streets class within the first few weeks of having him. It was very overwhelming for him since he was still getting adjusted to his new environment and as Alison saw this, she was gracious enough to offer to move us to her Life Skills class. Benji and I learned lots of new skills to practice moving into the future together and it put me at ease knowing we had a patient and kind trainer like Alison. You can tell her classes are very well thought out and that she puts 100% of her effort into making sure you and your dog feel comfortable during class. Highly recommend her classes to any and everyone. I also found them to be very affordable compared to other training programs. Thank you so much for having us Alison!!
R	Rachel Galligan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I couldn't recommend Alison's classes more highly for any new puppy parents looking for practical and accessible tips and to socialize their puppies in a safe and controlled environment. Alison is very professional and non-judgmental in her guidance to families. She makes the classes both educational and enjoyable for both puppies and parents. Our puppy has come away from these sessions much more confident and social, and we are definitely more informed puppy parents. Thank you Alison for your kindness and patience with both us, and our cheeky pup!
J	Jay Pahre on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Alison is fantastic. Took both her Puppy Preschool and Puppy Kindergarten courses with my new pup, and cannot recommend them enough as a great place for young puppies to socialize and practice working with you in controlled, safe, and still higher distraction environments. My puppy was ecstatic to go to class every week, and Alison really helped us both troubleshoot some trickier parts of learning and puppy care.
I	IW on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommend Alison's course for socializing puppies and teaching owners the basics of proper training! Hearts and Hounds provides a safe and controlled environment for your puppy to learn to be around other dogs. Despite being a very small breed and having some initial shyness, our puppy learned to play with other dogs in his Hearts and Hounds course. He is now a social butterfly who confidently approaches other dogs multiple times his size without fear. Thank you Alison!
H	Honor Walmsley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Alison was fantastic at helping us work on some frustrating behaviours in our 1 year old high energy border collie mix. She was punctual, friendly, hugely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and had affordable pricing. Conveniently she came right to our apartment for the training sessions. We loved that the training is all about positive reward and not being harsh or punishing your dog. Our dog has been responding well to training so far and I would highly recommend Alison to any puppy or older dog owners needing support.
