• Unlike traditional trainers or schools, Dog Dad works with both the dog and the human. His focus is on leadership, respect, and psychology- not just obedience drills or treat-basaed training. He also specializes in high-risk and complex cases other trainers often turn-away or send their clients to him.

  • No. Training is treat-free. Dogs don’t need bribery to respect their leader. Instead, sessions focus on communication, trust, and natural pack dynamics.

  • Yes. In addition to virtual and local sessions, Dog Dad offers fly-in services across Canada and internationally, as well as farm visits and multi-animal coexistence training.

  • Absolutely. Many clients come to Dog Dad as a last resort after standard training methods have failed. His expertise lies in difficult, psychological, or high-risk cases.

  • While dogs are the main focus, Dog Dad also helps with multi-animal households and farm environments, teaching dogs to coexist peacefully with other animals. With decades of ranch experience Dog Dad understands the whole eco-system of animals.

  • Because every dog and every situation is unique, Dog Dad creates custom training programs with individualized pricing. After a free consultation, you’ll receive a tailored plan that fits your dog’s needs and your goals.

  • Both. A key part of Dog Dad’s method is empowering owners to become confident alpha leaders. That way, once training ends, the bond and hierarchy structure continue for life.

  • Results vary with each dog and owner, but clients consistently report better behaviour, deeper trust, and a stronger, lasting bond. This is not a quick-fix- it’s a transformation. Owners must be ready to reflect and work on themselves through Dog Dad’s teachings, as much as their dogs will, to build the strong dynamic we are after.
