ABOUT PAMELA

                                                                 Pamela Owen-Certified Dog Trainer

​

Pamela's passion is helping dogs and people meet their full potential. She has come to understand that our dog really is our mirror and in order for them to change, the person must change first.

Pamela has years of experience working with dogs and puppies, many who are challenged with aggression, reactivity, fear and behaviour.  She also has an extensive background working with people educating, counselling, facilitating and programming as well as coaching team and individual sports.  All of these experiences have provided her with knowledge and insight about dogs and people and how to work with them to achieve success.  In 2015 Pamela left her career working in healthcare and community development to follow her passion. She entrenched herself in a 2 year mentorship training program which included running a daycare for reactive dogs. 

​​​

As no two dogs or people are the same, Pamela's goal is to provide you with an in-depth understanding of who your dog is and individualize the training to meet the specific needs of each dog and person. Just like people, different breeds as well as rescue and shelter dogs respond to different training methods. Each client and dog is treated as an individual.

Pamela offers extensive knowledge and experience working with all breeds from toy to giant including rescue and shelter dogs. As well, all ages from puppies to senior dogs. Beyond basic obedience, she will provide you with the tools, knowledge and skills needed to train and address any behavior issues that you may be challenged with.  Pamela will teach you that by staying calm, kind and patient you will achieve effective results. Using diverse training methods from dog sports to behavior modification, Pamela will help you create a strong relationship-partnership with your canine companion and understand what is needed to engage and motivate your dog. Most importantly, she wants you to have a fun and positive relationship as well as the ability and confidence to handle them in any challenging situation.

Training takes place in various environments utilizing both outdoor and indoor spaces such as parks, beaches, plaza's, your home etc. to help you work through real life challenges. From puppies to adult dogs, Pamela's goal is to help you develop a confident, well-adjusted and mannered member of your family that you can take anywhere. 

Offering: basic and advanced obedience, leash walking, recall classes, 1-1 private training, manners, impulse control, engagement, group walks and socialization.
