At Good Boy Collective we are advocates for Positive Reinforcement training. Why? Because we believe that training your dog should never involve fear, force or pain. Training should be a positive experience for you and your dog, to guide you in having a happy and healthy life together. It’s important to remember that training doesn’t end after puppyhood - it is a lifelong journey and lifestyle!

Here are some resources to assist you in choosing a dog trainer: 

• American Veterinary Society for Animal Behaviour: Choosing a Dog Trainer
• BCSPCA Guide to Choosing a Dog Trainer 

Here are some local Dog Trainers that we recommended:

• Bravo Dog 
• Canine Connection 
• Q&A Dog Training
• Positive Paws Training
• Candor Canine (Based in Winnipeg, MB but can do virtual lessons)
• In Partnership Dog Training 
• Evolve Dog Training

The BCSPCA also has a resource of AnimalKind accredited dog trainers. For more options, please see the AnimalKind search engine here. 

*please note: GBC only recommends these specific trainers based on our personal experience with the trainer or from a trusted source recommendation. Choosing a dog trainer is a personal choice and we advise you to use our resources to aid in your decision.
