Dog Behaviour Consulting and Dog Training in Vancouver, B.C.

Welcome to The ACADEMIC DOG!

We provide high quality one-on-one dog training and behaviour consulting to help people who are needing support with their companion dog. We are a husband and wife team with education and experience in dog training and behaviour. Our connection to other dog experts in the area, such as veterinary behaviourists, allows us to refer cases to others when needed. Learn more about us.

Our approach to dog training is empirically-based (where that evidence exists), with the rest taken from our collective experience with dogs and learning theory. We respect both owner and dog as partners with our goal of improving the relationships within the family unit. We focus on ethical, non-aversive, and biologically-relevant dog training that involves not only considerations of the methods of training but also the behaviours we actually train. We also provide dog wellbeing assessments and suggestions for improvement for those that want to provide the best care and possible home environment for their dog – no problem behaviour necessary. Take a look at our available services. Learn more about our animal welfare policy.

We also put on continuing education seminars and workshops focusing on dog behaviour to both professionals and the public. Learn more about our seminars.
