Our Company

At The Tired Pooch, we are dedicated to teaching owners how to better connect, communicate, read and understand their dogs. Having a mutually beneficial relationship where both canine and handler are thriving together. Do you know what your dog is feeling at any given moment? Do you know what motivates your dog? Maybe your dog is having some behavioural issues that you're both struggling with. Our trainers are committed to showing dog owners how to read their dogs' body language, understand their behaviours, and train their dog on a level that their dog will understand.

Our dog training services are geared towards each individual dog — there are no cookie cutter answers when it comes to training a dog. It's so important to train the dog that's in front of you. Our trainers will work with you and your dog, whether it be a new puppy that you have just brought home, to dealing with dogs with behavioural issues such as reactivity. We understand how important it is to be able to communicate and understand your dog in all stages of their life.

The Tired Pooch uses a reward-based balanced training approach and each dog is treated as the individual that they are. We specialize in dogs suffering with anxiety, fear, reactivity & aggression issues. Our trainers work with owners and their dogs to help them understand their dogs state of mind and emotions that are driving their behaviours. All dogs deserve a chance to reach their full potential for living a happy, fulfilling life along side their families.

With 7 years of professional dog training experience and a passion for working with and rehabilitating dogs, we're confident in our ability to transform even the most challenging dogs and help owners create a harmonious relationship with their companion that leads to a more fulfilling and enriched life together. After dealing with a highly reactive German Shepherd ourselves (one of our demo dogs, Lucifer!), we were inspired to step into the world of professional dog training and launched The Tired Pooch in 2019. Resolving these behavioural issues requires a solid understanding of canine behaviour and body language, as well as patience. This knowledge is crucial for helping our clients succeed with complex behavioural cases. Whether your dog is struggling with nuisance barking, jumping on guests, and leash pulling, or more serious concerns such as reactivity, aggression, and resource guarding, we're here to help. Our training approach focuses on strengthening the bond and relationship between you and your dog, working closely with you to achieve your goals.
