Why use the term coaching?

I use the term coaching because I take a very unique approach to working with you and your dog. My goal is to coach you on how to train your dog and future dogs. This is done by offering only one on one training to each client so you and your dog get 100% of my time. We will work on the basic fundamentals of dog training as well as other issues you want to work on. We work on obedience, behavioural modification, nutrition, intro to grooming and more.

I believe a GOOD dog trainer is good at training dogs but a GREAT dog trainer is good at teaching people. I will provide you with all the tools you need cultivated to you and your dog as well as your goals and lifestyle so you can become YOUR OWN DOG TRAINER!

Invest in your relationship with yourself and your dog through training.

If your dog could verbally speak they would say many things I am sure. From “share your french fries please” to “let me off leash I won’t chase the squirrel I promise”. One thing I believe they’d also say is “Don’t blame me, if you don’t train me”. All dogs, no matter the behaviour, level of obedience, size, age and breed require training. If you are looking at where to get started you have found the right place to start! Welcome!

Improve your relationship with your dog.

Dog training should be FUN, that is why here I work with you as a family because your dog is family. We will work on a lot more than just obedience. You will learn about dog behaviour, body language, nutrition, physical, social, emotional and the cognitive health of your dog.

Client Testimonials

“Our results from Chloe's dog training services have been wonderful! Our dog Willow, had many issues with walking on and off leash, and we were always afraid that she would either run away or get injured as result of her lack of training. Chloe has provided us with the necessary tools and knowledge in order to continue building not only the confidence of Willow, but in ourselves as well. Chloe took the time to understand Willow's behaviour and provided valuable feedback through both physical and verbal demonstrations. Since working with Chloe, our walks have become a fun experience for both Willow and ourselves. We are forever grateful to Chloe for her exceptional training services, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to train their dogs.”

“Chloe has so much patience when it comes to animals (& their owners when they don’t catch on). She listens even when you just need another animal lover to vent to who understands where you’re coming from. She has never once made my concerns or questions about Max & Oliver seem invalid or trivial, she always answers or says c’mon and book a lesson, we’ll figure this out together. I couldn’t recommend her enough and would never hesitate to reach out to her for anything animal related.”

“We could not be more pleased with our E-collar training program with Chloe. Our dog Gary was a little bit of a shark when we first got him. As a new bull terrier puppy he was bitey, sassy, full of energy, curious, nosey and basically a full time job. While this was cute and everything, with my boyfriend being home only every other month this was a lot to deal with. When we first heard of the E-collar training we were a little apprehensive with the stigma around it. However, Chloe was super patient and understanding with us, Gary and all our questions and concerns. She always took time to address our questions and concerns as well as to get us comfortable with the e-collar before asking us to use it on our dog which was very reassuring.

By the time my boyfriend got home after the first month of training, Gary was like a brand new dog. He was still his crazy self but was able to control himself and was starting to get significantly better with listening, calming down and walking already. We loved the private lessons with Chloe which gave us one-on-one direction with our dogs specific needs. After we got the hang of all the basic commands she even came to Kent with us to help show us how to teach Gary to behave out in public and some training exercises we can do to build his confidence in public. As dog owners we appreciate all the support and care.

After only 6 lessons and lots of training at home, Gary has come so far from when we got him. With minimal mouthing, accidents in the house and such good behavior all thanks to Chloe teaching US how to help our puppy learn. We are forever grateful for all her help and would recommend her course to anyone.

Gary will definitely miss his favourite teacher.

Thank you for all you do!”

“Our experience training with Chloe has made our life with our boy Jake that much more enjoyable! We started private puppy classes at 9 weeks old, followed up with private e-collar lessons. While sometimes our weeks of training were exhausting and frustrating, Chloe assured us it would be worth it. We started to see big changes in Jake every week and he quickly became a well trained boy. Since he was 8 months old we enjoyed off leash hikes and walks on the beach and great leashed walks too. Now at 14 months old I see that all the hard work was definitely worth it and without Chloe’s guidance I don’t think we would have been as successful.”

“I can’t explain the heartbreak I felt when my boy Voorhees was labeled reactive and a fear biter; he had an incident as a puppy that made him fearful of men--especially strangers--then I coddled him, making him even more nervous. I wouldn’t push him past his comfort zones out of fear of hurting him. After his initial consultation, I thought I had broken him. Chloe assured me that with time and hard work, he’d be good as new—even after he tried to have a go at her. She stopped him with a firm “no” and correction; he was still plenty nervous, but he didn’t mess with her after that (She carries herself like she’s 10ft tall and bulletproof lol). Once we were inside, and safe, I emptied my soul to her about his behavior, his nervousness, and my own struggles with anxiety.

At the end of day one of the e-collar course, the change that came over him was almost miraculous; was he confident, happy, and even able to give Chloe a kiss. He trusted her, which was HUGE for him, and slowly over the duration of the program I was able to trust in him and myself. Voorhees needed firm guidance, lots of assurance (without the coddling), and plenty of treats. It was stressful, and could be frustrating at times, but the reward was yet to reveal itself.

Today, my boy is able to come to work with me, safely greet strangers, and can even bring his ball to my coworkers to say hello. He’s confident, curious, practically fearless, and trusts that new people can be kind.

I owe so much to Chloe and her e-collar program. She has taught me so much about myself, my abilities, and how important it is to do the training. Yes, we still have a lot of work to do, but thanks to Chloe, Voorhees and I have taken steps to being a better team, and even though we’re afraid, we can trust that we’ll get there. Chloe is much more than our coach, she’s our trusted friend and dearest treat lady.”

“I couldn’t recommend the personal E-collar training sessions with Chloe more! Having been a dog owner my whole life I never would’ve guessed I still had so much to learn. She taught me how to communicate properly with Ovi. How to read her body language correctly and how I am her voice and personal advocate for what her body language tells me. I feel so much more confident in public settings now that Chloe has taught me how to react properly if something negative should arise. This training was the best thing to happen to myself and Ovi, and you could tell Ovi loved the sessions just as much as me! Thanks again Chloe.”
