Since the Canine and dog training Industry is not regulated or mandated, there are lots of problems, false marketing, and just blatant lies. Sadly, it’s the pets and pet owners that suffer while others profit from it.
Did you know, anyone can say that they’re a dog trainer and start a website for $8/month, say they’re ‘the number one trainer’, have a cute business name, and some cute pictures of them with a dog?
Owning a dog for 10 years and ‘saying you have 10 years experience’, is like owning a car for 10 years and saying you are certified and can train people to be mechanics and race car drivers. How about having a lot of ‘certified’ emblems on their website that anyone can pay $30 to $80 a year to be a member?
Or, saying that they are certified or Government certified-when there is no such classification?! Some dog trainers have never taken any training or stepped foot in a classroom! Where others have taken an online course that’s multiple choice (where you can just Google the answers), and then a person who took the same online course before you in your area, checks your work with a dog, and boom, your ‘certified’ dog trainer.
Of course this doesn’t work, and that’s why we see people that have hired a trainer or gone through puppy or obedience classes, and they haven’t worked. Even worse, trainers who use prong, shock, or choke collars etc. If you need to physically hurt or scare and intimidate the dog to do something, then you are NOT a Dog Trainer or Training the Dog properly and it will fail along with the relationship between owner and their dog that they love so much.
This is what we specialize in! Family homes that are having problems. Have a private mobile dog trainer come to you in your home. We can come in and help make the family balanced and relaxed again and end the frustration and stress. All dogs and all Behavior’s, all cities in the Vancouver lower mainland area. Late appointments and weekend times available.
Dog to dog aggression, dog to human aggression, general dog aggression is very stressful for the animal and the owner. It puts the dog in a fearful, aggressive, panic, stressed, nervous state, and is always on guard and worried. Stop the stress and have a certified dog trainer come to you and have private in-home dog training in safe controlled way.
This is a fantastic service that saves so much time and money! Not to mention the frustration and sadness that comes with potentially having to re-home a dog, because it didn’t work out. There is so many pitfalls and bad actors in this area to look out for when buying your puppy or dog. Have a dog trainer come to your home and teach you what to look for. We can asses and visit the dogs or batch of new puppies.

I live in Invermere and one of my friends was raving about canine united, so as soon as I was in the lower mainland I contacted them about my dog. He was so nice and helpful and gave me new tools to help me and my dogs. Now they are doing so much better. He knew I would not be able to come back to Vancouver for some more training. He told me that i could call or zoom anytime for free to help out, and I have and it's been extremely helpful. You can tell he loves dogs and loves his job. It's really nice to see great customer service. We don't get to see much of that anymore. As soon as I am back in the lower mainland I will be seeing him again

I wanted to get some training for my dog because i started noticing increased behavioural issues. Ryan was able to pick up on a few things I never even considered. He suggested getting lab work and xrays if I thought it could be pain related. He suggested this before dumping a ton of money on training, and low and behold my dog had many things come up in xrays that the vet said he's likely in a lot of pain. After just one training session my dog is already doing better. I look forward to more training sessions with Ryan and have hopes that things will continue to change for the better. Thank you Ryan!!

I recently used the expertise of a dog trainer from Canine United Dog Services and I am so happy I did. I learned so much about how my dog, Chi reacts in certain situations. I learned about movement and how to teach my dog the best ways to avoid her reacting in ways that could be aggressive towards humans and other dogs. I have learned new skills as well that I'm sure will create an even better bond with my dog and I. I definitely recommend Canine United to those whom want to learn more about recall, reactive training and definitely knowing more about how and why your dog reacts in certain ways. I tested what I learned after and my dog Chi is already doing better! Tracy and Chi 🐾

I love the private 1 on 1 training in my home way better than group classes. Ryan was amazing with my dog and our family. There were so many things in my home that were affecting my dogs behavior that I didn't realize. She is doing so much better now after the training. Thank you Ryan so much!!! :)

So pleased and satisfied with Ryan's expertise and knowledge of all things dog!! Currently this is the 2nd puppy Ryan has helped us with training and understanding. Having had several dogs in my life, all we had these many years were Obedience Classes. Well I am glad not to be going through that stressor anymore and the one-on-one instruction is far superior in my opinion.
