Are you ready to take your dog from frantic to focused?
We believe that dogs are one of the best parts of life.
But we know that while they can bring us joy, connection, fulfillment, and a good laugh, they can also bring anxiety, frustration, fear, pain, and embarrassment.
With decades of experience working and training with high drive sporting dogs, we are experts in the particular needs of high-octane breeds.
Focus Dog Training can improve you and your dog’s quality of life with exceptional, non judgemental coaching and on demand learning.
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.
Focus Dog Training serves clients across Canada and around the world with digital training!

Aggression-ISH: Fear, Conflict, and Control in Sporting Breeds
for AggressiveDog.com
What happens when dogs who don’t bite get scared or angry?
Many of our most popular pet dogs have been bred for generations to not bite down hard. They’ve been specifically selected to be easy to handle and have a high tolerance for people. But does that mean they can’t be aggressive?
A lot of dogs described as hyper, rude, out of control, or even joyful, are actually deeply uncomfortable with people. Their guardians are living with the embarrassment, pain, and fear of having a dog they can’t control. They have been struggling, sometimes for years, to get help that takes the gravity of their situation into account. And the longer these problems are misidentified, the worse they get.
If you want to expand your understanding of aggressive and fearful behavior in dogs, have been confounded by hyper or rude dogs before, or if you’ve been struggling with your own dog’s big feelings about people, this webinar is for you.

How to Find a Responsible Dog Breeder (free!)
"The relationship that I now have with Fiddle is what I dreamed of when I imagined my future dog, but there was a significant period of time when I'd given up on that with Fiddle. When Fiddle and I are out enjoying nature together and she looks up at me with a big goofy smile, tail wagging away, I'm overflowing with joy and pride - enough to brighten even the darkest days.”
— Emily and Fiddle
