Helping you and your dog learn together through practical, stress-free training that makes sense on both ends of the leash
I wish I could give more stars!!! Meg is the absolute best. Hands down one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had with a dog trainer. Our puppy Rosie absolutely loves her and actually listens! Meg not only taught our dog many useful things but she gave us so much knowledge that we never would have known before. You can tell she actually is passionate about what she does, genuinely cares and wants to see you and your dog thrive together! Meg, thank you for everything. Best dog trainer in Victoria hands down!!!!!
Baby Dog puppy socialization classes are such a blast. Watching your pup learn how to interact and have fun with dogs of all sizes in a controlled environment is great. As a new dog owner this is exactly what we needed.
Took our pup to socialization classes for several months. What she and we learned there was invaluable to create a friendly we’ll socialized young dog. The information learned at the classes continue to help us train our dog even though she’s aged out of the class. The weekly news letters we continue to receive are also extremely useful with great information on caring for and training our dog. Recommend Baby Dog very highly.
Aviva was an excellent trainer. My dogs are walking better and becoming less reactive to other dogs. I have noticed a real difference
Our puppy has had some challenges with socialization and the trainers at Baby Dog have been terrific with us and with our puppy. Highly recommend them!
I have worked with Dave Tomey and can't say enough about how much he has helped me and my little dude, a Mexi rescue who was terrified of his own shadow and struggling to adjust to a new environment. I highly recommend Dave's services.
Meg was wonderful. She had such a calm approach with all the pups and understood they all come from different backgrounds. I highly recommend. :)
Between the fun puppy meet and greets and the training, this was a great time for our little Cairn Terrier. Emma was engaging, knowledgeable and excellent to work with and we couldn't be happier with the outcome!
