True Instincts Dog Training

Welcome to our website and thanks for considering us in your journey to understand and improve your dog's behaviour and training. It is important to us that we are a good match for you and that you understand our approach to training. 

We are a small group of professional dog trainers (aka “animal behaviour geeks”) that are passionate about animal welfare and educating pet owners using positive reinforcement training methods and identifying how to set your dog up to be successful. Our goal is to teach you, how to teach your dog using positive reinforcement which works by teaching your dog the behaviours that you want your dog to learn rather than trying to teach your dog “not” to do certain behaviours. Dog’s understand DO. This is the concept we work from!

We are well-versed with training and behaviour and have helped hundreds of owners achieve the goals that they strived for. Behaviour is always evolving, we may be able to offer simple solutions for many different behaviours but you may find that some of the more complex behaviours may take longer to change and require a training program for you to follow to achieve your desired results. 

We are amazing problem solvers who come up with creative ways to decipher behaviour challenges using force free, fear free methods. We do not promote the use of choke chains, prong collars or shock collars as a primary way to train, especially if we can achieve the desired results without their use. 

If you want to learn more about how we train, sign up for the pre-recorded training seminar and meet our trainers, learn how to work positively with your dog, solve simple behaviour challenges, dog body language and more. 

Due to our small class sizes, commitment to our clients and living a well-balanced work/family life we have limited number of spots available at a time.
