Welcome! Bienvenido!
My name is Angela! I am an animal lover and owner of goodpuppy dog training.
I believe all dogs are unique. They have their own personalities and mannerisms, therefore training is different for each dog. Whether it's basic manners, loose leash walking, or more specific behavioural issues. I provide 1:1 training in home and around your community working with you so you can have a calm and confident dog.
Communication, leadership, consistency, and the right mindset are all integral to a successful and happy relationship between you and your best friend. You can keep up with goodpuppy on instagram!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I speak 3 languages; English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.
Training and education experience includes:
ICS Canada and Fenrir Canine Leaders. Through my experiences with various trainers, I've developed a balanced style of training.
I have worked in the non-profit sector for 10 years in case management, working with people with physical and intellectual disabilities and folks with varying degrees of hearing and vision loss.
In my spare time I enjoy being with my two pups Willow and Nova, I like lifting heavy weights at my favourite local spot, Gains Performance Studio, and spending time with family and close friends. I am also a Blue Bombers fan.
