Board & Train

We all dream of having the perfect dog - affectionate, well adjusted, obedient and calm. Just like the perfect spouse! I can’t help you with the spouse, but if you don’t have the time, energy or expertise (and who does?) to transform your dog into the perfect pet, consider the Deena Speaks Dog Boarding and Training service.

Quick fixes are not the goal here, this is not about teaching your dog basic commands. My aim is to create a more balanced and calm member of your family. The exact program that is best for you is determined through a free consultation prior to boarding, and all programs include telephone/email updates to suit your schedule and preference. Every program includes an at-home follow up session at no charge. Dogs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and I never have more than two dogs at any time, so space is limited. Dogs are boarded and trained in Deena’s home in Caledon, call me personally to discuss today.

We will work together to determine what’s best for you. Here are some typical situations and the time needed to rectify them:

For dogs with typical behavioural issues such as jumping, leash pulling, nipping, barking, counter surfing and rushing through doors: Three weeks.

For dogs with severe behavioural issues such as high anxiety or over-assertiveness, common with rescue dogs: Three-Four weeks.

For puppies at the critical learning age (between three and six months) the program develops structure, appropriate washroom behaviours and social skills to start them off on the right paw. Two-Three weeks.

The daily fee is $100 (boarding at $45 and the training at $55 per day).
