About Us

---

Annie, has completed her studies in dog training through Penn Foster College and is continuously updating her education to better assist her canine clients in around the Cold Lake and Lakeland areas.

Annie, has been helping and working with both pets and their owners since 2009 in her home town of Pembroke, Ontario, where she ran a very successful doggie daycare until 2018.

Since moving to Cold Lake, Annie has taken her years of experience of working with multiple breeds of canines and turned to the love of training. 

 In 2023, Annie became certified with Canine Health Canada as a Canine First-Aid Instructor. This is a wonderful  opportunity for the Cold Lake and Lakeland area's as it allows Annie to teach Canine Emergency First-Aid but also K9 Working Dog Emergency First Aid Response, Canine Health and Emergency First Aid for working Service and Therapy Dogs, First Aid Fundamentals (online or one on one training), I Can Help - Dog Safety and First Aid for Kids and our new course Breeders First Aid! 

 Start your new puppy or dog out right by having one of our trainers come to you! Puppies should start training the very second they come into your home. Crate training, house breaking, manners and basic obedience are all taught at 8 weeks when puppies come home. The misconception is that you need to get your puppy out to get socialized is just that, a misconception. Your puppy needs you to advocate for them to be away from other dog's and puppies and places where they visit until your puppy is fully vaccinated with a minimum of at least two rounds of vaccines and bordetella (kennel cough). Older dogs and rescues also benefit from private training lesson before going into group classes. 

Starting at $75/hr 

 Group obedience classes are offered run on a regular basis. Classes are one in length for a total of 6 classes. All breeds are welcomed, dogs are require to have bordetella and puppies must have at 2nd set of vaccines and bordetella to participate. These rules are in place for the protection of your pup/dog. Titer test result are accepted. 

Starting at $200.00 ( 6 x 1 hour lessons )

  My dog behavior modification work involves an intimate understanding of your dogs natural and individual history. Behavior modification involves training our dogs new acceptable and wanted behaviors. With behavioral modification we will be teaching your dog instead of them believing they figured it out on their own. An example of behavior modification is a dog that jumps on it's owner and guest, we modify this behavior by teaching the dog that by invading 'our' space it's not rewarding. This usually is a self pleasing behavior that has been learned from an early age. Book with me today to get those unwanted behaviors rectified. 

I also work with aggressive behaviors.
