Best Dog trainer in Canada

H	Haley Atchison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Calm and patient with both myself and dog. Very knowledgeable and was willing to work with my goals
J	Janae Vlaar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Eva and her team are nothing short of amazing. We have done private sessions, day trains, and board and train. They also do group sessions but we haven’t been able to do one yet. Private sessions are about training the human as much as or more than the dog. Relationship building and respect are at the centre and the confidence I gained in handling my dog has made a huge difference. Day trains are so worth it. My dog came home fulfilled and focused because there was structure in her day. She wasn’t over-stimulated because she was crated between training sessions and play was supervised and tailored to the dog. She also learned to just chill in her crate at home which was a huge thing for us. Board and train was one of the best things I’ve done for her. Our goals were to build up her sport foundations, condition her to an e-collar, and work on neutrality around other dogs. Her drive to work is now so much more intense and I have to work on my handling to keep up with her. E-collar training has given her new freedoms and confidence. Her greetings with people are much more pleasant (no jumping) and she’s able to ignore dogs and focus on me (a huge struggle for us). Eva, Savannah, and Sage work with dogs where they are at and transfer knowledge to you. They care deeply for your dog and for you to have a good relationship with your dog. 100% recommend their services.
E	E Ibsen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Eva and the Focused K9 crew are amazing. Eva was immediately intuitive to my dog's specific needs and promptly jumped in to make recommendations and adjustments. She explains her techniques thoroughly and makes everything comprehensive. Her passion for dog training is clear and easy to understand. If you are searching for a solid dog trainer with no fancy flair or bullsh** this is your sign, here she is.
J	Julie King on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had adopted an 8 month old pup who was anxious and over-excitable; he was the complete opposite of our previous super-chilled dog and we were feeling a bit overwhelmed!! Eva did a thorough assessment of Charlie’s behaviour and the way we were interacting with him. She showed us techniques to calm him, build trust and get him to focus on us instead of getting distracted. We can now walk him beautifully on leash and are continuing to work on socializing him with other dogs. Eva is extremely knowledgeable and is kind and patient in her approach. Her training is tailored to your specific needs and she is always available to answer questions along the way. Thanks for all your help, Eva!
C	Chris Kachanoski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We would highly recommend Eva to anyone looking for assistance in training their Dog. We came to her with a Cane Corso that was becoming borderline unmanageable. We've left with the confidence to manage this amazing animal and be able to handle him in any situation. I look forward to continued training. Honestly, Eva takes the time to train the owner as much as the dog. My experience anyways. Thanks for everything.
A	Amanda Dalzell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a fantastic experience with Eva. It’s called dog training but it should really be people training. Eva took me from an anxious & nervous new dog mom to a person with confidence & ability to train with our doggy. Our dog interacted so well with her & he had so much fun at “school”. Eva is relaxed with effortless efficiency & knowledge. We didn’t want lessons to end because she is so great. I would recommend dog training with her in a heart beat. She knows her stuff and has a the right style of training.
S	Sarah R on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Through the process of fostering a fearful (with borderline fear-aggression) puppy, I was given the opportunity work with Eva from The Focused K9. Hands down, it was the best experience I've ever had with a local trainer! For anyone not familiar with relationship-based dog training, it should honestly be the foundation to any dog training approach. As I was fortunately already familiar with this practice, it was both reassuring and validating to have Eva guide us to success. Thank you again, Eva!
D	Donna Wedge on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My husband and I welcomed a new puppy in February 2021 and started training with Eva a month later. We made the best decision to go with The Focused K9! Eva is competent, caring and flexible. We could tell when we met her that she truly cared about our dog Ollie’s well being. He went from being uncontrollable on a leash and highly reactive to a very obedient boy. Eva has taught us so much as dog owners and we feel very confident in referring her to anyone that needs help - whether the problem is big or small. Thank you so much!
