Dog Training common problems, Behaviour problems, Dog reactivity & Dog Aggression
How the Dog Training program works
This is a specialized exclusive private 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.

Dog Training Home Visit to:
- Assess the dogs complete background history including medical, behavior, prior training, how and where the dog was purchased, any traumatic events, etc.
- Evaluate home environment inside and outside (no need to clean or make ‘fake house’, as a neutral/normal environment is best. We have pets, and live just like you!).

- Explain everything to do with dogs and any question you have (as many and long as you like).
- Create a unique and individual plan for the dog(s) and the owner for problem solving behavior problems, training and everything listed above, so we can make the fastest progress.
- Go right into one-on-one dog training and coaching for these problems and how to fix them in your home, backyard, outside and walks in real world situations, or where ever these problems are happing.
- We can get a lot accomplished in a session; it may seem like a lot but our dog training sessions are 90 minutes. When most are just 60 minutes long.
As with all of our services, sessions are in the comfort of your own home, on your terms, and schedule. We will never leave you unsure or not understanding what we worked on during training. After our training session(s), if you encounter obstacles with what we trained on, you can always call, email, or Skype with us personally; we are there for you continuously, with no extra charge-as that’s the Canine United Dog Training way!
Having a good certified dog trainer is like having a good mechanic, it’s a relationship for life that you can depend on, and use, as we always want your business later if you need it or just want to upgrade your dog relationship and skills.
All services come with paperwork, hand-outs, brochures etc. That you get to keep. This is a life experience that you can benefit from for the rest of your life with your dog(s) now, and dogs in the future.
We always promote you to help others and their canines with what you learn, making the world a better place for all dogs because now you are a part of Canine United Dog Training.

GOOD Based on 60 reviews Brandy Hamilton2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 Dawn Hoch2024-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!! Tracy Johnson2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 🐾 Alice Turner2024-10-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!!! :) Marleen Greeve2024-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan is very caring, loves dogs and a great trainer. I would definitely recommend him Jennifer Kirk2024-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan is super knowledgeable on all things relating to dog behaviours, and pleasant to deal with. Very professional, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommended! I am Jnglwmn2024-06-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
