About us

Let’s face it: if love alone could have helped you and your dog, you wouldn’t be reading this. That wonderful feeling can move mountains, but it can’t move a dog away from the dirty dishes in the dishwasher they are licking, the couch they are destroying, or the other dogs they are barking at in the street.

Your dog didn’t come with a manual. Everything you find on the internet, while much of it can be helpful, is hard to apply to the dog in front of you. Why? Because your dog is an individual. Here at For the Love of Dogs that is the start of all our training plans. We want to help you find what will work for you and your dog.

Through the use of sports training and mental stimulation we give your dog a FUN outlet to help you reduce and ultimately eliminate nuisance behaviours. We love to help our clients reach their competition goals. Not because we love competition, but because we love to see dogs used to their full mental and physical potential.  Our methods are tried, tested and respectful. No worries if your sights are not set in competition. All our trainers are brimming with ideas and exercises to give you a tailored behaviour plan that teaches your dog what you would like them to do INSTEAD of barking, biting, jumping, chewing, guarding, pulling….
