Canine Education

My dog Rocky and I recently completed five training sessions with Josh and it was AWESOME! Rocky is a one-year-old husky mix from a northern community, and he had a LOT of trauma when I adopted him that causes him to be very reactive on leash, especially towards other dogs. Through the one-on-one sessions, Josh was able to pay special attention to Rocky, diagnose his particular issues, and give us advice that was specifically tailored to our context. In just those five sessions, Rocky was noticeably calmer and more attentive. Although we still have a lot more training to do, especially now that we’re back in our community, I feel much more confident with the training tools and games that Josh gave us. Thanks Josh! For your knowledge, kindness and love of dogs, no matter where they come from! Rocky and I are so grateful! More...

We can't say enough great things about Josh and his methods!! My partner and I completed the leash reactivity class with our pup via zoom, and Josh found a way to make it engaging, fun, and so SO helpful! We learned so much and we've seen amazing progress in our pup. The techniques we learned helped our Finn to not only have better leash manners, but become a more confident and well-behaved fur baby all around! We're so grateful for Canine Education and would highly recommend to anyone :) More...

We just finished the Puppy 101 class with Josh. Despite being on a zoom, the course was super helpful. We got individual feedback while we were training and I could see a progression in our puppy every week. I am looking forward to the next one- hopefully face time face next time! More...

We learned a lot about how to get our dog to do what we want her too, even in quarantine, Josh was super helpful and was always ready to answer questions or any concerns we might have. Sasha our German Shepherd pup was more then happy to comply with the training. she is now getting a little more verbal outside because she wants to play and interact with people on her walks or just been in the back yard with us. I can't wait for the next class to start. It will be good for Sasha to learn new things, as she is getting bored of the things we do with her lol. Thank you so much Josh for the help and the dedication during these times. Stephanie,Wayne and Sasha More...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Josh has been such an amazing source of information. My boyfriend and I are first time dog owners and taking these classes with Josh has given us the confidence to help our pup get started on the right paw. and he ensures that as our puppy's hoomans, we show affection at the right time and what is the right way to correct undesirable behaviour. Our classes continued online via Zoom, and it was sooooo appreciated because we were starting to feel so lost without Josh during this strange Covid times... Josh wanted to make sure that we weren't abandoned and that we still had the support we needed. Josh, thanks for your kindness, your patience and your thoughtfulness. Can't wait to continue the next level of classes with you! More...

Josh has been excellent with my dog who was having some aggression issues at the door, leash pulling and distractions outside, and most importantly separation anxiety (a very difficult issue to tackle). His knowledge and patience has proven invaluable in my life, my relationship with my dog chorizo is so much better, and the improvements with Chorizo's separation anxiety have given me my life back! Keep in mind, like anything in life this is not a miracle cure for dogs, you must work WITH Josh and implement the tools he gives you diligently and consistently. With effort and persistence everything josh has told me to do with chorizo has translated into incredible results. If you're on the fence about whether or not Josh can help your dog, don't be, he's amazing More...

We just started working with Josh after getting our new puppy a few weeks ago. He came highly recommended by several colleagues and he did not disappoint. He has taught us so much and has such a wonderful, positive approach to his training. He is excellent with our kids as well and has incorporated them into each training session with our pup. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him more along the way. Thanks again Josh!!! More...

Working with Josh was a true pleasure. He made the adjustment period of adopting our first rescue a very easy one. As a first time dog owner, I was not very confident, but Josh's training approach and calm demeanor quickly changed that. I really appreciated his concern for not only the training of the dog, but also helping me feel more comfortable as a dog owner. Techniques are easy to implement and practice, and they really work!! BEST RECALL EVER! With simple techniques and positive reinforcement, I now have a dog on a loose leash who is fairly obediant. Of course there always more to work on, and it will be possible because we built such a solid foundation with Josh. Super nice guy, hard worker. Highly recommend. More...

5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have two Australian shepherd 3 and 4 years old. One has anxiety and because of that my other dog becomes protective and barks and growls at some people and my old would get very protective over his food and toys with my other dog. Josh came over and corrected the food and toy issues immediately and it’s worked ever since. We also worked on basic obedience like sit stay and lay down without any treats. My biggest problem was when I would walk my 2 dogs they would bark and growl at people walking by and other dogs they would bark and growl as well. Josh had brought two separate dogs and we practice how to correct my dogs from not acting this way when passing people and especially dogs. It took 2-3 little corrections and they got the hang of it! End result I was able to walk side by side with another dog in the middle of my two dogs!! I highly recommend josh. I’ve done puppy obedience with him years ago and I took private classes to focus on exactly what my dogs needed and they surpassed by expectations. He was amazing! Super helpful and showed me all the ways to teach them and if I needed anything he was always a call or message away! Thank you so much josh! More...

My wife and I met Josh for the first time (not the last) in April 2014. We had adopted a rescue, Indy and desperately needed some behavioral advice. We were already signed up with another school but after meeting with Josh, we cancelled and signed up with him for private lessons.

He told us any dog can be trained with any type of collar....we were very skeptical....but it was true. The obedience was amazing - new techniques for us and Indy responded very well. Unfortunately, there were some extreme behaviors with Indy that just weren't working out for us. We had to return him.

We had already had our second pup reserved and Skye the black lab came to us at the end of June. We signed up for kindergarten classes and the basic obedience I class with Canine Education. The socialization was excellent for Skye and we were taught what to look for when dogs meet.

That was very important for us as our other lab, Ben from 14 years ago was bit in the face at 8 months old. My wife was more traumatized than Ben was, which led to Ben not being as well socialized with other dogs. Passing other dogs on the street was an issue.

Skye's body language between small and large dogs is evident. She knows to restrain herself when they are smaller. We've even met with Josh again recently for a private session as Skye is the worst puller we've ever had. He taught us positive reinforcement with treats which worked with her instantly. Now walking is a pleasure instead of a nightmare. If only we could train squirrels to stay away....all would be perfect.

We highly recommend Josh and his team at Canine Education. Their approach is humane and effective. They offer alternatives if one method doesn't work for your dog. More...
