Capable Canine Consultants offers positive reinforcement dog training that is effective, gentle, and a fun  way to teach your dog, using proven, science-based methods. Positive reinforcement rewards dogs for doing what we want, and with practice, increases the occurrence of appropriate behaviours, while reducing, and eventually eliminating, behaviours that we feel are inappropriate. I can help your dog build focus, and create a strong relationship built on trust, while developing in you a solid understanding of how dogs learn. Because all dogs are different, I work individually with each owner to help fine-tune the training process when necessary.

Over the last ten years, area of focus in dog training has been behaviour modification for fearful and fear reactive dogs, via science-based, gentle, and humane training methods. In 2012, I obtained certification as a Certified Behaviour Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI). Behaviour Adjustment Training helps animals gain confidence and social skills, and is a natural method that creates an emotionally safe interaction with minimum intrusion. The CBATI certification is globally recognized, and I am one of only two certified instructors in the southern Ontario area.
