Nous avons débuté les entraînements avec notre GSD en juin dernier. Notre chienne était vraiment réactive aux autres chien et aux étrangers. Rue Nous a vraiment aidé avec ses problèmes de comportements. Nous avons également travaillé plusieurs aspect, donc l'obéissance, les obstacles et étant mordu de chasse nous avons aussi travaillé sur la recherche de gibier blessé. Très satisfait du service reçu, je recommande.

Tony, Rue, and all the volunteers and co-op students pour their hearts and souls into the dogs. I traveled 12+ hours to WorkingK9.ca to select and train with my new K9 partner who will help me track, get illegal narcotics off the street, apprehend criminals, and protect me. After my training, I am 100% confident in my dog.

Most importantly, you can see the love everyone here has for the dogs and the craft. It’s obvious by their emotions when we have to leave, but even more obvious by the affection the dog gives back to the trainers, employees, and volunteers who helped mold him into who he is today over the course of a year and a half.

Working with WorkingK9 is absolutely amazing! You won't find a better trainer, with exceptional expertise, an ability to explain the "why" to every teaching to help you understand the importance in a fun way, the humour to keep things light, and the love he truly has for all animals, than Tony, he's truly the best.
I started with the Sunday group classes when my dog was 7 months old and within a few months, started doing 1:1 classes with Tony, in addition to the weekly Sunday classes. I ended up doing 2 rounds of 1:1 classes because it was fantastic to keep pushing mine and my dogs limits (e.g., obstacle course, scent work, protection work) and I continue to go to the Sunday classes for maintenance and my dog is now 2 years old.
I truly could go on forever about how amazing Tony is and how freeing and enjoyable it is to have an obedient dog by my side to enjoy every moment with.
I highly recommend him! He is fantastic!

We brought our English Mastiff rescue to Working K-9 to get over her fear of men. She's shown fear and aggression towards men ever since we rescued her and we knew something needed to be done. After 10 private lessons we've made a ton of progress. She's now at the point where she can go to the Sunday group classes and progress even more. This picture of Nayla with her instructor Tony would've never been possible if it wasn't for the incredible instructors at Working K-9

We just completed 15 lessons with Rue and wanted to send a thank you.
Pete is our second GSD and completely different from our first. Both of our dogs came from Rob at Carissima…we would never go anywhere else.

It was a rude awakening for us to have such an energetic, food driven alpha male and we weren’t sure how to navigate our newest addition. Rue took us on with patience, a calmness and a no nonsense approach.

Tony, we came in one week and you literally tore a strip off of us and although it felt shitty at the time it was exactly what we needed.

Since that time our family, as a whole has gotten on board and followed all of Rues rules and advice.
We are so proud of the dog that Pete has become and there is nothing we can’t teach him and nowhere we can’t go without him.
We look forward to more sessions at Carissima on Sunday mornings and continuing his training. As we’ve learned, the most dangerous dog is a spoiled one.

Thank you so much Rue!

Bert, Laurie and family

I took my 1 year old Doberman here for training, we did 10 sessions and the results are night and day. Went from no control to total control he now listens and obeys commands, no longer reactive to other people or dogs and has made my time with my dog overall a more enjoyable experience. 10/10 would 100% recommend!

Title: Comprehensive K9 Training Experience

I have enrolled my German Shepherd in a K9 training program with Working K9 and Tony for almost a year now, and the results have exceeded my expectations. Tony demonstrated exceptional expertise, guiding both me and my dog through a tailored curriculum.

From the outset, the emphasis on positive reinforcement was evident, creating a conducive learning environment. Tony's patience and clear communication were pivotal in addressing behavioural issues. Not only did my dog respond well, but the consistent progress was remarkable. Tony is very direct and honest. He tells you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. His honesty and constructive criticism has been extremely beneficial in our progress.

The program covers a diverse range of commands, reinforcing basic obedience while incorporating advanced techniques. The practical sessions are particularly beneficial, allowing for real-world application and enhancing the bond between my dog and myself.

What sets Tony and Working K9 training apart is its adaptability to individual needs. Tony personalized the approach to my wants and needs at the same time ensuring they suited my dog's temperament and personality, resulting in a more effective learning experience. Additionally, the emphasis on understanding canine psychology was enlightening and contributed significantly to the overall success of the training.

The facilities were well-maintained, providing a safe and controlled environment for training sessions. Tony's passion for canine behaviour was evident, creating a positive atmosphere that extended beyond the class.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Working K9 training programs to fellow dog owners seeking a comprehensive and effective approach. The knowledgeable trainers, personalized curriculum, and positive reinforcement techniques collectively contribute to a rewarding training experience for both dogs and their owners.

We are currently enrolled and will continue enrolling with Working K9.

Having a larger dog we knew that we needed the right obedience training and it wasn’t long before we knew we made the right choice with Working K9. Charlie our American Bully was lucky enough to have worked with Rue and we couldn’t be happier. Rue’s professionalism and knowledge of dog training was mind blowing. He was great with Charlie and Charlie just adores him. Any questions or concerns we had about Charlie were addressed right away. We quickly learnt that we as pet owners needed to be trained more than Charlie and we quickly understood why. We couldn’t be happier with the training and the way Charlie behaves because of it. We’re giving Working K9 and Rue 10/10. If you have the opportunity to work with Rue you won’t be disappointed. Great facility well equipped and clean. .
Thanks Rue you’re the best !!! See you in September
