The Ontario Dog Trainer

The Ontario Dog Trainer and Karen specifically are amazing. We had a hard time thinking about leaving our puppy anywhere - but we couldn’t have been happier - she was loved and came back better trained after a couple weeks then we could have ever done. Karen was constantly keeping us engaged with videos of Bella that prepared us to keep up with the process. She was also incredible with our two young sons and ensuring they were set up for success. We highly recommend The Ontario Dog Trainer for any of their programs.

5 Star review for Karen and her training facility. I have taken both our dogs to her facility and it has certainly put the joy back in to dog ownership. Our newest addition "Romeo" is a very energetic Picardy Spaniel and the results have been like night and day. I can't thank Karen enough for her dedication and insight.Her years of dog training is unmatched . Highly recommend.

I consider Karen to be one of my most important mentors. I met Karen when I had been training about 5 years, and my path since meeting and working with Karen has made me not just a better trainer, but a better person.

I have attended numerous workshops at Karen's facility, I have also taken workshops taught by Karen. In fact, I was one of the people who relentlessly asked her to share her knowledge and to teach to other trainers because I had so much respect as to how she trains not just dogs, but people. She has a unique way of explaining and teaching concepts that really helped me to further grasp and see deeper into methods, as well as how to apply them.

Watching Karen train a dog is a thing of beauty. But Karen also continuously learns from others, which is amazing in itself that she is always trying to further herself.

I highly recommend Karen as a trusted resource to learn from, someone who will be honest as to where you need to focus and improve, and someone you will never forget meeting.

We just finished our 6 week training course with our yellow lab Harley and couldn't be happier with how he responded. Karen and Tammy were very professional and helping us understand how a pack dog thinks was key. We look forward to the dog walks further training if need be. Thanks Karen

As an apprentice trainer and having worked in the dog industry for the past four and a half years, the best learning I have had has been at her facility. She runs a very organized business and tailors her training to what a family wants in their pet. Dogs that stay with them are well socialized and have the benefit of being the best they can be. Karen is professional, caring, knowledgeable and open with her policy and procedures. I highly recommend her and her facility.
