Carina’s program is amazing! When I had my child the best investment I’ve made was postpartum doula. I feel exactly the same about getting this training for my puppy! The program is very thorough and information (including videos) is available to you at all time! Carina is kind and supportive and truly takes time to understand your needs. And then she is available over the phone at any time! We are very grateful for the support and knowledge!
Carine, I just want to thank you so much for your help in training myself and our girl Sadie. I love the positive reinforcement, it also brings Sadie and the family closer. She loves when we do our training scheduling everyday which gives her structure in our lives which makes a happy puppy. When you came today she was so happy to see you, she knew it was learning time. We have just had Sadie for two months since she was adopted from another country and was in poor condition. You help bring out her personality and gave her and our family the confidence to work together. I look forward to using our skills we learn from you throughout her life. again thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to our beautiful girl Sadie and our family.!
We worked with Carina in the summer and into the Fall of 2021. We were having difficulty with our COVID puppy’s separation anxiety and some other behavioural issues. Carina came up with a detailed plan for how to address the issues incrementally, to allow him to adjust gradually. We’ve seen great progress with him but also in our knowledge and confidence in how to support him and meet his needs. Her approach was always on building on our relationship with our dog and how, even when he is showing behaviour we don’t like, we can use positive reinforcement while fostering that bond.
We did some group classes previously and looked at the available online resources but they’re really no substitute for one-on-one time with a professional who really gets to know you and your dog.
We were nervous that a trainer may judge us or our puppy but our experience with Carina was just the opposite. She really listened to us and what we wanted for our home and our dog and met us where we were. We never felt judged or that she was pushing us into something that didn’t work for us. She took time to understand our lifestyle and did not try to push us into anything that we could not realistically do.
As first-time dog owners, it is easy to think that every concern is a major problem or will be forever. Carina was great at putting things into perspective for us and explaining what is normal behaviour and why. She was available by text, which was very helpful as things came up between sessions and we needed guidance.
She’s relatable, friendly and kind and our dog loved her instantly! So much of dog training is about training the owners and it was important to us to find someone we felt comfortable with.
If you are looking for a trainer or considering whether the investment is worth it, I highly recommend calling Carina, it was certainly worth it for us. We have a calmer, more confident puppy that we understand much better!
