Take the Lead® with dog training with the dog of your Dreams!
At Ontario Dog Trainer, we believe that there are no bad dogs, only confused dogs. Whether you just adopted a new-to-you dog, a shelter dog, brought home a puppy, or want to brush up your adult dog’s training, there are important skills we can teach you and your dog to prepare your pooch for a lifetime of clarity, good manners and companionship.
Thoroughly understanding how a dog communicates is the first step to solving and preventing the most common dog behaviour problems.
Are you frustrated by your dog’s naughty behaviour?
- Excessive barking
- Ignores your call

- Displaying aggression
- Struggles with socialization
- Biting
- Digging
- Displaying fear or anxiety
- Chewing furniture or other objects
- Inappropriate excitement
- Separation anxiety
Does this sound like your dog’s behaviour? If so, learn how to experience the world through your dog’s eyes. At Ontario Dog Trainer we teach you to see the world as your dog sees it. When you can see and feel what your dog feels, you can connect on a deeper level. At ODT, you will learn to ‘talk dog’ to address your dog’s unwanted behaviour, without fear, force or aggression, with hands-on techniques, education, leadership training and practical exercises through the four unique programs we offer.
Establish yourself as the pack leader
If your dog could speak, it would say: “Lend me your eyes and I will change what you see.” Most dog owners believe it’s their dog that needs training.
At Ontario Dog Trainer, we teach you to see things differently. We teach you how to see the world through your dog’s eyes! The training and connection with your dog ultimately has to come from you. When you see things through your dog’s eyes, the ‘training’ becomes connection rather than conflict. Dogs live in the micro – they see everything – they even see you do things that you don’t even know you did! Your dog is responding to your cues, whether you know it or not and will always act to ensure its safety and survival. If you’re not acting appropriately, they surely won’t.
Pack leaders are always aware of the actions and behaviours of their pack. Learn how to calmly establish yourself as the leader by ‘tuning in’ to your dog and giving the clear signals it understands – in ‘dog talk’. Then once you are a worthy leader in the eyes of your dog, we’ll be in a position to start transforming their behaviour.
Respect, clear communication and rewards work together to create a mutually enjoyable and cooperative way to live with and enjoy your dog, whatever your goals.
