If you’re facing issues like lead pulling, jumping on guests, weak recall, or general defiance, our sessions offer a focused learning environment free from suburban interruptions.On our 160-acre Degilbo property, dogs benefit from open, safe spaces and structured routines supported by controlled distractions. Rural locations help dogs learn faster by keeping them calm and comfortable. This unique setting is something Waterloo suburbs can’t deliver, which is why Waterloo clients make the trip for superior training outcomes.
Our approach draws on evidence-based positive-reinforcement methods alongside balanced techniques.
