Professional, positive dog training on Vancouver Island

We signed our dog up for puppy socialization class and Mojo loved Tara so much we booked her for individual training sessions. We learned so much and got excellent tailored help for Mojo's needs, plus there is lots of ongoing support if we need more help later on. Highly, highly recommend individual training with Tara!

We brought our puppy Lola to Level 1 Obedience class with Meg. She was an incredible instructor. She explained and demonstrated the training clearly and was fun and patient. She always checked in to see if we had questions and was also happy to answer questions outside the curriculum. When we had missed a class, she took the time to show us what we had missed. We learned a lot and were so impressed by how quickly our puppy learned each task. Taking the class with Meg helped build our confidence with training our puppy using positive reinforcement. We can’t wait to take her to Level 2!

I was so impressed and happy with the work Danika did with my dog Higgins and I. Higgins is two and had a bad habit of jumping on people when he was excited - not aggressively, but given he is 80 lbs, he could hurt someone badly. Danika provided 4 private lessons and stayed very focused on the problem of jumping. She was knowlegeable, professional but also very fun to work with. Higs never never wanted her to leave! Most importantly, I now know what approach to take to make sure he stays under control.

We've been taking out puppy to BabyDog's socialization classes. Both the puppy and I learned a lot! We found Ruth to be very knowledgeable and helpful - enough so that we ended up registering for a private training session and an obedience class through BabyDog, both also taught by Ruth. Our puppy has learned a ton and so have we. Throughout the entire process Ruth has been wonderful, and we can't recommend her and BabyDog enough!

It was an absolute delight to work with Aviva to help 5 year old Happy, a Crested Maltese Little Man, to feel safe no matter who we encounter walking about and to more immediately respond to directions given. Aviva made it fun to learn for both Happy and me.

Took the level one Obedience class with BabyDog and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Great communication and help from the Admin team before and during the classes. Our Instructor Meg couldn't have been better for us / our dog Marcus. It was amazing how quickly he would learn from her and set a platform for us to continue with. Highly recommend to anyone with a new rescue dog looking to learn more!

Emma was our trainer and she did a fantastic job with our nervous rescue pup! We saw incredible changes in her behaviour over several sessions with her. Definitely recommended

I would highly recommend BabyDog Canada for anyone's puppy training and socialization needs. Aviva and her team of trainers and helpers, are knowledgeable and supportive. I grew up with dogs and have learned more in these classes now, than all those earlier experiences with my previous dogs. "Had I known then, what I know now"... Thank you Aviva and team!
