Services.
Private Sessions
Our private sessions are conducted in your home and is customized and to your dogs and household’s needs. If you’re truly interested in gaining maximum control in the shortest amount of time, this may be a more realistic option. Location is also not limited soley to your home as we often like to work out doors or in the necessary environment required to achieve the desired corrected behavior with your dog.
Private 5 Week Course
The 5-week course is much more structured and focuses on basic obedience and formal manners. We cover all basic commands such as: Heel, sit, down, extended sit stay, extended down stay, come and a finish command to return to your side. We will also concentrate on how to safely play with your dog. It will also provide a strong foundation for off lead control.
Semi Private 5 Week Course (2-3 People)
Our Semi-Private classes are for people wanting to do the 5 week course with another friend or family member. This not only is to help save on the cost of the course but to also to share in the experience of having a buddy to train with. This course is essentially a carbon copy of our 5 week course.
Board and Train in Toronto
We offer board-and-train programs tailored to your dog's needs. Puppies receive foundational obedience training—sit, stay, down, heel, and proper leash walking. Our minimum stay is one week, with three weeks recommended. Housebreaking for puppies starts at $1000/week. Adult dog training is customized to client goals.
Home Boarding in Toronto
We provide an exclusive, personalized boarding experience, accommodating only 1 to 2 dogs at a time in our family home. Your dog will never be kenneled and will enjoy a warm, home-like environment, interacting with our children and personal dogs. They will participate in daily walks and accompany us to client training sessions, where they actively engage in training activities. Advanced reservations are highly recommended to secure your spot.
Consulting
We assist clients in resolving particular or a multitude of behavioral issues, ranging from simple barking to full-out aggression, by providing several options and suggestions. For those looking to add a new puppy, adult, or rescue dog to their family, we offer guidance in selecting the perfect companion tailored to your family's lifestyle. Additionally, we consult on essential areas such as nutrition, crate training, housebreaking, trust, and bond-building exercises. These services can also be conveniently provided from the comfort of your home through online consultations.
What our customers are saying.
We are very grateful for the excellent obedience and foundational skills taught by Romeo. As a young puppy, Clover had a lot of energy when meeting other people and animals. He taught us how to handle a variety of situations, and we really believe his advice was customized to our specific needs. The training classes have been a great experience for our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Clover (and also for us!) to learn about how to work together. Romeo has taught us how to communicate with Clover, set boundaries and get consistent results.
Clover, Katherine & Dave
With Romeo’s training program, the classes are directed towards each dog's obedience problems. He makes time for each client and gave us the knowledge and skills that made training not only valuable but fun. Having only six dogs in the class was a great advantage as each of us got to know the other dogs in the classes and the owners could socialize. Kobo and I took two of your six week training sessions and I left with confidence and continue to use the tips taught and have had many comments on Kobo's excellent behaviour. Thank you so much!
Kobo & Cheryl
You have taught Spencer not to act like a vacuum cleaner and he is doing much better when we see other dogs. Both dogs are also walking in a much more civilized manor. The dogs no longer bark and jump up upon guest arrival, they just sit in place. Romeo has helped us in so many ways. Thank you. We hope that Romeo will continue to be our trainer and dog walker as we are not sure what we’d would do without you.
Bentley, Spencer & Lyndsay
