Dog Training - Dharma Dog Services

Your dog is a valued member of your family, enhancing your life in many ways. But when obedience or behavioural issues get in the way of fully enjoying your time together, professional training is needed.

Just like humans, dogs don’t come into this world with an innate knowledge of how to best behave in all situations. Dogs don’t automatically know the rules of your home or how to engage with other humans in public. Proper training is a crucial part of ensuring your dog has a happy, enjoyable life with you.

With in-home Dharma Dog Training, a focused and customized one-on-one training plan is developed to fit your specific dog and family needs. Your home is a great place to work on training or behaviour modification for your dog. After all, it’s where you spend the most time together!

Working together in a familiar and comfortable home environment is the most stress-free and quickest way to see positive results. Dharma Dog carefully evaluates your dog’s environment, interaction with those in your home, history and past issues. We then work with you to develop a systematic training plan, based on your dog’s temperament and not his breed.

DHARMA DOG TRAINING CAN HELP YOU WITH THESE ISSUES

If your dog has any of these behavior issues, we can help you build a strong, trusting bond that will last a lifetime!

MEET DHARMA DOG FOUNDER: NIK FABISIAK

Dharma Dog’s Nik Fabisiak has worked with thousands of dogs in his career. As a respected trainer and certified dog behaviour specialist, he helps owners understand and learn natural, canine communication.

Using positive reinforcement combined with good-natured fun, Nik and his training staff work with you how to train your dog to respect you and your decisions. Working together to build a solid foundation of implicit trust, you will see quick results as your dog looks to you for direction.

Nik’s energetic, upbeat approach provides motivation and instills confidence. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly with your dog in a positive manner. Instead of getting frustrated or angry, you’ll gain an understanding of how your dog views things going on around him.

As Nik says, “My goal is simple: help humans learn to communicate clearly with their dog. Not the other way around. That’s why my approach with dogs is to speak and listen in dog.”
