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!
Turn chaos to calm! We specialize in working with dogs who are just a bit much. Too much energy, over reactions and big feelings! 
  • Hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention
  • Barky/lungey/growly behaviours
  • Destruction and digging

With virtual and in person private coaching and a uniquely supportive class program, you will benefit from our extensive puppy experience and get off to the very best start!

"A trainer with true respect and dedication to canines! If you're looking to really bond with your dog, build skills for all kinds of scenarios, and improve both you & your dog's lives- this is the place for you!"

- Lorelle and Harlow
