Lisa started her life in dogs 30 years ago as a dog groomer. Her days working with dogs were put on hold as she raised her son and daughter, and she has now re-entered the industry in the capacity of a dog trainer. She has now completed her certification with Canine Academy and holds a specialty certificate in Separation Anxiety treatment. While away from her career in dogs, Lisa spent 25+ years in the financial industry, bringing customer service to a whole new level with her desire to assist above all else. Lisa particularly enjoys working with exuberant and joyful dogs to teach them that calm behaviour can be rewarding too!
Datta Sai Borra is a passionate dog trainer driven by an enduring love for canine behavior. His journey began with his first canine companion, Molly, whose presence ignited his fascination with dogs. He went on to study Positive Reinforcement and Operant Training in Hyderabad with Jaana Rahamaki and Karita Böstrom in the Chicken Training Program, where he learned the virtues of patience and composure, laying the groundwork for his approach to dog training. With six years of experience, he has encountered diverse breeds and temperaments. He continues, however, to find his true delight in nurturing the potential of puppies, moulding them into beings of unwavering happiness, obedience, and zest for life. His ultimate goal is to create a stress-free world for all dogs, fostering unbreakable bonds between pet parents and their furry friends. Empowering owners with positive reinforcement tools, patience, and dedication. “I dream of a world where no dog is abandoned due to solvable issues. Each day, I strive to guide dogs and owners to a harmonious existence of boundless joy, trust, and camaraderie.”
Gabriel has been working with dogs for 5 years, and he's been a trainer for 4. After working in software for a few years, he decided to change things up and pursue something that he felt more passionate about, so he started working with dogs. When he learned just how much of a difference he could make with dogs and their owners, his objective became clear: to strengthen the bond between owners and their pets. Since then, he's gotten certified with the Council of Certified Professional Dog Trainers, he's received both his Fear Free Trainer and Fear Free Shelter certifications, and he's taken Pet First Aid and CPR classes as well. Known for working with fearful dogs, Gabriel puts a specific emphasis on the physical, mental, and emotional wellness of all his clients, dogs and otherwise.
Dog professionals who have earned their KPA CTP or PDTC have been through extensive training, use only positive reinforcement training methods and are experts in clicker training.
They are dedicated to continuing education and must uphold a standard of excellence.
Currently, dog trainers are unregulated, so a trainer who has invested the time and tuition to voluntarily achieve certification is the kind of individual you’ll want to work with.
And when you hire a Certified trainer, you can be sure that the help you receive is useful, kind, knowledgeable and professional.
Save on the hourly rate with a 5 or 6 session package, save time with the "Day Training" option, these dog training packages can accommodate the busiest people with the most hectic schedules.
All of the packages come with flexible scheduling, hours that don’t expire, and can take place at your home, my training area in North York, or by remote video.
