Are you ready to take your dog from frantic to focused?

We believe that being a dog guardian should be fun. But we know that while dogs can bring us joy, connection, fulfillment, and a good laugh, they can also bring anxiety, frustration, fear, and embarrassment.
With exceptional, non judgemental coaching and on demand learning, Focus Dog Training can improve you and your dog’s quality of life. 
We only work with a small number of clients at a time in order to prioritize individualized training plans and support for the entirety of the training process.

As well as in person training in South Surrey & White Rock BC, and puppy class in Richmond BC,
Focus Dog Training serves clients across Canada and around the world with virtual training!

Upcoming Live Webinar: Understanding Exercise

How much exercise does a dog need anyways?
While we have vastly expanded our understanding of enrichment and other aspects of dog care and training, how we exercise our dogs is still a frequently overlooked subject.

Exercise is an integral part of how we care for our dogs, and can frequently be the linchpin in behaviour and wellness plans.

But the way we talk about and understand exercise is still overly simplistic and hard to navigate for trainers and guardians alike. Understanding Exercise lays out a framework for understanding and implementing this critical component of care.
