A star in the making!

Thanks Desiree and Deborah for the photo-shoot at Williams Park last October. I have enjoyed the photos of Zoey that I purchased and use one as my computer background at work. I recieve tons of comments / compliments, but now one of the photos has helped bring about a new opportunity! To my surprise, I received [...]

When three is a crowd

My husband, Jason, and I started with two dogs when we moved into our new home, Maverick and Keiko – both Shiba Inu’s. Being that the two dogs were getting older, we felt it was time to bring in a new addition to the family so Jason and I brought home our new puppy, Jax. Maverick (our male) was not very receptive [...]

A Little Positivity Goes a Long Way

A Little Positivity Goes a Long Way

Before: When I first got Boone at 5 months old, he’d just endured a 24-hour flight from Egypt. Now, at 15 months old, he’s still only been touched by three people – my sister, who was his first human, my boyfriend and myself. He is extremely uncomfortable with people coming up behind him and watches constantly [...]

Precious the Pitbull

  “I approached my first dog training session with lots of anxiety. I had already tried another trainer prior, and didn’t feel comfortable with their approach. Desiree’s professionalism and focus put me at ease.  My Pitbull X also responded favourably to Desiree’s gentle, patient technique.  After only one lesson I was able to walk my dog on leash [...]

Wee Mini Maggie

“I take my little 3lb Yorkie ‘Maggie’ with me everywhere; to work, the bank, even the dentist! So needless to say when I have to go somewhere that Maggie can’t, I worry. There is no way I would put her in a kennel. I want her to keep the same living and comfort she gets at [...]

Maggy the Bichon Frisee/Lhaso Apso

We hired Desiree to help us with personally training Maggie, our Bichon Frisee/Lhaso Apso 8 month old puppy. From the moment we talked on the phone, it was quite clear that Desiree had the knowledge and passion about what she was doing. When it came down to the training, she was extremely organized, clear and [...]

Flannigan

We loved having the convenience of Desiree coming to our home.

The one on one training made total sense. Desiree’s “customized plans” and training methods were easy to understand and follow, for both of us and Flannigan!!!

We would definitely recommend Desiree!

Michelle, Jason & Flannigan

Finnley the Bouncing Doodle

“I am happy to report, yesterday I sat in the kitchen and drank an entire cup of tea!  Earlier in the day I sat and did the “in his space”  thing about 5 times in a row.  He seemed to get the hint.  Then I had my tea and that was followed by a friend [...]

Rio- The Feisty Fido

Rio- The Feisty Fido

  When Rio and I first met with Desiree we could not pass another dog, with in 200 ft, without a huge outburst from Rio. Rio would pull, stand on her back feet, wine, bark, screech and froth, scaring many people and other dogs. Rio is 8 years old and has been this way since [...]
