Best Dog Handlers In Calgary Near Me

4worldlovers: I grew up in southern Mexico on our family's working ranch, surrounded by horses, cattle, and lots of dogs! There is something about having a life connected to the land that gives you a more open understanding of animals. My first career took me away from that and for many years I worked in Mexico City as the Human Resources manager for a financial institution. Eventually, my love for dogs and desire to help families drew me to Bark Busters and to this incredible direction in my professional life.

This place was great for my one pup and I! We also used their online services to help train my 2nd dog. The reactivity classes are great for desensitizing dogs to their triggers. I went from avoiding walks at any cost to being able to have a nice walk without any strain, no lunging or barking, whereas when I first adopted my rescue she was quite the handful. This company cares about its clients and its clients dogs, and reactivity classes are such a help. While I can't speak on puppy classes or obedience classes (desensitization was always my focus) I'm sure they're both phenomenal as well, as their philosophy is applicable to all scenarios and they make sure to only bring on trainers who care. Overall a great and caring company with phenomenal customer service. I'll definitely be using their services again!

Dogma is positive reinforcement based and they honestly just are helping the process so much. I have one reactive dog and one that really lacks confidence/is shy. Their group classes are really great and flexible. Day school albeit is expensive but you can’t be the quality of care, one on one training and video updates throughout they day, they even have report cards. I can’t stress enough how lovely everyone is to work with and they’re always willing to lend a hand. Thank you Dogma for all that you do!!

“Thank you to Beth, Malori and the other trainers who take the time and care about each dog and their persons unique problems. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’ve only had her for 3 months!!!”

“So far what Beth and Jake have taught us in 2 classes has improved Charlie’s behaviour significantly. We still need her and will be going to private classes and group classes for a long time to come. Charlie loves going to go to class and see his friends and never is bothered. Even just try a drop-in to see what you think, she is great!”

“After going to a few other horrible trainers, Beth was such a breath of fresh air. She is outgoing, bubbly and her love of dogs is more than evident. My dog has come leaps and bounds (literally and figuratively) since we started training!”
