Meet Your Trainers
Aaron
Aaron is a registered dog trainer with the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers (CAPDT), the only recognized regulated organization for professional dog trainers in Canada. He follows the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) approach which is the best practice for all professional dog trainers. He specializes in obedience, reactivity, building confidence, aggression and much more!
Aaron’s natural ability to understand animals in a deeper and meaningful way along with his many years of experience working with pet owners and their pets, allows him to know and understand the dogs he trains (in ways others can’t) to harness their inner potential for success.
Additionally, he has worked with shelters across Ontario training shelter staff, new pet owners and their rescued pets. In his efforts he has created rehoming programs, rescue integration best practices and rescue interventions.
