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!

"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
