"If your dog is in need of training, Southwest is the answer!"

"★★★★★ - Since working with Devin, my dog Ace has improved in terms of both his obedience and his behavior. Leash pulling/biting, jumping up when guests would arrive, and recall were all problem areas for my pup. Devin put together an adaptive plan to put these to rest once and for all, and was there every step of the way to consult whenever I had questions or was stuck.

    What is the difference between obedience training and behavior modification?

    Obedience training focuses on teaching your dog cues and commands; think sit, down, stay, leave it, come, etc. Behavior modification fixes more serious issues like resource guarding, anxiety, aggressive behavior, etc.

    What type of trainer are you?

    I use a positive approach. I believe understanding how our dog's function on a cognitive and emotional level is the key to success when training.

    How long are your training sessions?

    The sessions go between 1-2 hours, usually being closer to 1.5 hours. Time is dependent on two things, what we are working on with the dog, and the dog's temperament throughout the session. We go by the dog's pace, not our own.

    Do you do Private Dog Training Outside of Montreal?

    Yes. I do training off the island of Montreal within a reasonable distance. Any location outside of a 20km radius will be subject to a travel fee.
