🐶 Private Dog Training & Behaviour Support
Whether you’re starting with a brand-new puppy, building everyday skills, or navigating behaviour challenges like barking, reactivity, or fear—private training gives you the support you need.
At Christine’s Canine Consulting, we offer in-person and virtual training for dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Every plan is tailored to your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals. No cookie-cutter programs. No one-size-fits-all solutions.
Using science-backed, reward-based methods, we focus on trust-building, clear communication, and behaviour change that actually lasts. It’s not just about training your dog—it’s about understanding them, supporting their needs, and building confidence on both ends of the leash.
You’ll learn:
Practical skills for daily life
How your dog thinks, feels, and learns
What they need to feel safe and thrive
How to communicate clearly for lasting change

Real-Life Training for Real-Life Dogs
Most families begin with a Starter Session to get clear answers and a tailored plan. From there, you can choose the level of ongoing support that fits best.
Packages start at $400+hst, with pricing based on the level of support your dog needs.
🐾 Puppy Essentials
Support for raising a well-rounded pup from the start.
Foundational training, socialization, house skills, and confidence-building.
🎓 Life Skills
Everyday manners and real-world training.
Training should be about communication not commands, and having control without being controlling. Great for adolescent dogs or adults who need a refresher.
🏡 Welcome Home
For newly adopted or fostered dogs.
Help your new dog settle in with structure, safety, and support. We’ll focus on trust-building, decompression, daily routines, and setting your dog up for long-term success in your home.
❤️🩹 Better Behaviour
Support for reactivity, fear, and big emotions.
Life with a dog who barks, growls, pulls, or shuts down isn’t easy—and it can take a serious emotional toll on both ends of the leash.
The Better Behaviour Program helps you understand what’s really going on beneath the big behaviours.
Whether you're dealing with leash reactivity, fear of strangers, handling sensitivities, or tension between dogs at home, you'll get clear guidance and a plan that feels manageable—not overwhelming.

🐾 Not Sure Where to Begin? Start Here.
A Starter Session is the perfect first step. It gives us a chance to meet, get to know your dog, and talk through your goals in a relaxed, supportive environment.
You’ll leave the session with:
✅ Immediate strategies for your top concerns
✅ A clearer understanding of your dog’s behaviour
✅ A written plan with next steps and priorities
✅ Short-term support and access to helpful resources
It’s also a great way to see if we’re the right fit—before committing to a full training program.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

I use reinforcement-based, reward-driven methods that focus on creating lasting behaviour change while helping you feel more confident and making everyday life with your dog a bit easier.
I don’t use tools—no prong, electric collars (shock, beep or vibrate), choke chains, or leash pops. Instead, we look at the whole picture, including your dog’s history, environment, daily life, and what tends to influence their behaviour, to design an approach that actually fits your life.
Working with me means building a more connected relationship with your dog—one based on trust, communication, and mutual respect. I’m not just here to help your dog behave; I’m here to help you understand your dog and discover the why behind their behaviour—so you get lasting change, not just a quick fix in the moment.

That depends on your dog, your goals, and what’s going on at home. Some clients need just a few sessions for basic manners, while others benefit from ongoing support—especially for behaviour concerns like fear, reactivity, or issues adjusting to a new home. If you’re not sure, we can start with a starter session consult and go from there.

Yes—this is actually one of my specialties. Many of the dogs I work with are newly adopted, have unknown social history, or are dealing with fear, stress, or reactivity.
My approach is tailored to each individual and focused on building trust and teaching new skills at the dog’s pace.

In some cases—like severe aggression, complex anxiety, or issues tied to medical conditions—I may recommend we bring in another professional such as a veterinary behaviourist.
