At The Dog Connection, we are enthusiastic about assisting you in forming deep connections with your beloved canines. Rebecca, a seasoned dog behavior expert, employs positive reinforcement and reward-based methods to cultivate a constructive rapport with your pet, avoiding the use of compulsion in the process. Our company is licensed and insured, and Rebecca holds a Dog First Aid certification from the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers. She also attended the Karen Pryor Clicker Expo in Washington, DC, and is a Grisha Stewart Diamond member. She has also spent a full year in Victoria, learning and practising with the BabyDog company. Rebecca's training principle revolves around educating pet owners about dog body language and working toward their desired result using a gentle strategy.
We LOVE Rebecca. Our Mexican rescue was hostile on walks to other dogs, pulled on her leash, didn't have recall and had a lot of bad habits. We hired The Dog Connection (Rebecca) to helps us get our furbaby in line for easier walks both on and off leash and to come when called. We booked 4 sessions with Rebecca and very quickly had excellent results. Rebecca taught us how to move in small incremental steps and reward our dog so that we could be more relaxed and in control of our dog's behaviour. She used only positive treat based reinforcement. Very happy with our experience and our furbaby loved Rebecca!
