Canine United provides mobile private 1 on 1 dog training to your home. Based out of Surrey B.C & Langley B.C and servicing the entire lower mainland & GVRD. Whether you are looking for dog obedience classes or puppy obedience classes. Or more advanced dog training like dog aggression & dog reactivity training. This is what we specialize in! Family homes that are having problems with their dog’s behavior. Where we can come in and help make the family balanced and relaxed again. We train all dogs and all behavior’s issues, whether its a brand-new puppy and you want to start off right foot or senior dog that you may think is too old for dog training.. Whether it’s small problems, like pulling on a leash, jumping on people, house training or just basic commands.
Or larger issues such as; being totally uncontrollable, or having major fears and phobias like dog-to-dog aggression, dog to human aggression. Or maybe you have a pretty good dog already and just want to learn more and understand your dog better with advanced learning and training skills, where you can teach your dog on your own-to do almost anything!
All of our dog training services, consulting, and rehabilitation are done in the same type of program. The first session is an assessment, consultation, and Dog Training session. This gives you a good working platform on why your dog is having these issues, how they see the world, how they learn, and how we correct their behaviors. We do this because some problems are often misdiagnosed, and it is hit and miss sometimes.
Some issues are related to other issues, where the root of the problem is not addressed; therefore, the issue is not fixed and reoccurs. There can be so many different variations of why the dog is having behavior problems. Instead, you don’t have to keep going back, paying for additional training and wasting more time (which some unscrupulous Dog Trainers love taking your money).
This is also why we don’t do puppy training classes or dog obedience training classes. Don’t get us wrong, these are good classes, especially for puppy socialization, as long as you have lots of certified Dog trainers there to help, and it’s a proper run class.
Here is the problem we have with classes… We all have seen people take these classes and their dog still doesn’t listen, obey and has behavior problems. Also, you are tied down on a contract for 6 weeks to attend, while life gets busy and you end up missing some classes. With classes, you are not properly coached or helped in troubleshooting because the Dog Trainer is helping someone else and there is only one Dog Trainer and 8 people with their dogs.
Example: 1 trainer and 8 people in a 60-minute class = 60 minutes divided by 8 people = 7.5 minutes a person per class, multiplied by 5 classes (as 1 class is usually done without your dog) = 37.5 minutes each person total. Even if you add another certified trainer (double the minutes), it’s still only 75 minutes.
Common classes cover basic Dog & Puppy obedience and Dog Training but do not focus directly on behavior problems. People can end up trying to take the same type of class again later (maybe with a different company), resulting in another loss of time and money because they were not properly coached, trained, or explained things in the first place. Again, this is why we do it the Canine United way! Mobile Private One on one Dog Training at your home. Most often the dog will not be showing the behavior problem because it’s a place full of dogs and people, it also isn’t their home. it is also hard for them to pay attention, listen and learn.
With Canine United Dog Training we work to address all the problems, behavior problems, and dog training problems that you are having, and teach proper corrections on and off leash, behavior modification, commands and obedience, how dogs learn, behavior, psychology, body signals and how and what the dog is trying to communicate and tell you. This gives you the ability to use the skill and knowledge to fix the problem. Not all situations are the same and may have to be handled differently. And to be the best pet owner and now have a life experience that you can use if you get another dog! Plus, you won’t have to pay and go to Dog Training, Puppy classes, Dog obedience classes again, and can help your friends and dogs to make the world better for dogs and owners.

How the Dog Training program works
This is a specialized exclusive mobile private 1 on 1 Dog Training service done in the comfort of your home and on your time & schedule. To properly train your dog, diagnose & assess a dog, we need to see the dog in its neutral state and home environment to see what the dog is doing and why. Also, what is in the home environment, and other people in the house? etc. It is also faster and easier for a dog to learn in their home environment, rather than a class or park with distractions and other stimuli, which saves you time, money, and frustration. If your Dog is reactive or aggressive this is also the safest way to learn and train. Call or email anytime, open till 10pm daily. Weekend appointment times and later 6pm times as well. Servicing the entire lower mainland & GVRD.

EXCELLENT Based on 75 reviews Posted on Google Patricia BainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Canine United Professional Dog Services quite by accident, and I am so happy I did. My Georgia, is 5 1/2 years old and I have tried many different companies that did dog training. The first thing that jumped out at me was there is no contract, you simply book a training session and go on from there. Ryan is such a knowledgeable man. Georgia and I have learned so much more than we ever did at the other establishments. We have had 3 sessions so far with Ryan, from walking properly on a leash, her reactivity to other dogs and we are now working on the recall. Ryan explains why things happen and it all makes sense. I 100% recommend Ryan for dog training. So glad I found him, and Georgia loves him. I simply have to call, email or text Ryan is we run into any problems. Call Ryan, you will be glad you did. Jim and Patricia BainPosted on Google Tina O'DellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are very pleased with the new and improved Ozzie!! He’s more confident and walks on the new leash like a charm. All the directions and insight from Ryan was more then we expected, definitely has made a difference in our world. Ryan is professional and always communicative with us, highly skilled and down right “ Knows his stuff” we can’t be more happy “Ozzie too “ thank you RyanPosted on Google Cori KeatingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So impressed with Ryan and the wealth of information he has. I’ve had dogs all my life, but not one like Pepper and I learnt so much new info to build a better relationship with my Pepper. I thought before calling Ryan my issues with my high strung Aussie Doodle were not serious enough for a dog trainer. She’s not aggressive, just reactive and I could deal with it. But Ryan validated my concerns and seemed to know exactly what training Pepper and I (mostly) need to build a better life long connection. Thanks Ryan!! I’ll definitely be calling back for the next leg of learning.Posted on Google Vasilica WattsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan has been patient and friendly, explaining the psychology behind why helping the dog the way we were trying to may not work. We have had our three year old Texan rescue for about six months now and have used Ryan on and off to support in our home and with my in laws as well, since the first week we got him. We had a very scared rescue prior and wish we knew about Ryan back then. Working through his suggestions, we have seen huge improvements and are grateful.Posted on Google Elizabeth HaidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan is very easy going, good teacher and knowledgeable. I 💯 recommend Ryan.Posted on Google Joslyn RosellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience! Ryan is clear, concise and an amazing teacher! Our Zoey changed overnight with his knowledge of behaviour and feeding! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for some training! We would not go anywhere else!Posted on Google Kristine ThiessenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan was fantastic with helping our puppy deal with his fears. He got our puppy to trust him within 15 minutes of being here. He gave us some great tips that we will be putting to use asap. We definitely will be using Ryan in the future for any issues with twix. Thank you so much Ryan!!Posted on Google EmmanuelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Ryan upon an incident that made it clear I had already waited too long. Just after the first session, the difference in my dogs behaviour walking and around strangers improved dramatically. Since our first meeting, continually applying what Ryan told me, it has become so apparent how trainable my dog actually is despite my previous views due to my own mistakes/misunderstandings. Cannot recommend Ryan enough, I will continue with him even when I feel I’ve hit “ that point “ with my pups just to make sure my upkeep doesn’t slide. Trust Ryan, he is beyond friendly, a true dog lover at heart and more knowledgeable than google ( which is hard to accomplish considering the infinite amount of “ knowledge “ that google holds )Posted on Google Jessie KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oh my goodness, blessings to Canine United for helping us with our new 10 week old lab puppy! Ryan was absolutely fantastic and he taught us so much that we didn’t know! So much of what we were reading on the internet was leading us down the wrong path of training, specifically with nipping and biting. We were getting to a breaking point with the biting puppy phase and Ryan gave us the best advice and after only THREE days, our puppy is now so much better. A sincere thank you to Ryan and I’d recommend his services to anybody with a new puppy!Posted on Google AndrewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Canine United enough. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, helped nip all our puppies behavioral issues in the bud. Also teaches a lot of tips and tricks for everyday dog life. I always initial had some doubt how easy Ryan made corrections sound, but what he's able to show and teach seems like a miracle.
