OUR DIFFERENCE
Our work takes us into dog-loving homes across Canada, delivering a world-class program, in-person or virtually, through online video conferencing or both. Our results are dramatic and powerful. We are highly referred year over year by past clients, humane societies, rescue organizations and veterinarians. We've worked with highly aggressive, level 5 biters and with breeds such as; Working Line German Shepherds, Bull Mastiffs, Dobermans, Great Danes, American Bull Terriers, Akitas, practically every breed or mix of breeds out there. Aggression comes in all shapes and sizes, but a dog's psychology is unique. As a canine psychologist and professional dog behaviourist I work beneath the surface of the behaviour to figure out the reason and most important, how to rewire dog's brains to think and feel differently. Once they think and feel differently, behaviour changes for life.
Our program is unique for several reasons:
Our program is unique for several reasons:
|
Holistically, we don't look at only one problem but all problems within your dog's life.
Lifetime goals for your dog are co-created, agreed and shared across our team. We are intensely focused on reaching the goals throughout our program. We specifically focus on your relationship with your dog, building it up to support the behaviours we put in place so you can sustain a loving, cooperative partnership for life. Every step of the way we coach, cheerlead, direct, teach and partner with you to help your dog. Our team invests time, energy and passion into teaching you to guide your best friend to a new way of thinking, feeling and behaving. 
|
Expert solutions are designed to match to your lifestyle and goals. Your learning style is accounted for in the programs execution; visual, auditory, verbal, physical or combinations. A companion-guide and tool-kit provides in-depth insight into our work together. A gentle and compassionate, scientifically sound approach has a proven track-record of changing often dangerous cases of behaviour. Our relationships are built to be long-term; we stay in touch, sometimes exchanging photos and stories for years. Science is our guidepost, but we are also known for genuinely caring for you and your dog. |
By joining our program, you enter the world of in-depth canine psychology, cognition and emotions of your best friend.
Our success is measured as follows: all of us completing the program resulting in a dog who has shifted the way he thinks, feels and behaves. The dog has deepened the bond with you and become a cooperative family member.
We’ve engineered our program thoughtfully and with precision to ensure it is adaptive to any behaviour case, while rigorous enough to enable profound change. It is highly-regarded within our international community of canine professionals.
Since success requires both you and our team, we screen potential clients to ensure they understand what the program entails; time, compassion, patience and energy. Our work together includes understanding your lifestyle and who you are as a caregiver. We adapt the program to fit your world, but it can never be without your commitment of time and energy to help your dog see the world differently, responding in new ways.
The program works with the most serious cases of aggression, and dangerous behaviour, successfully rehabilitating the toughest, often written-off pets. We do it completely fear and force-free.
Sparky Smith is the founder and lead Canine Behaviourist, registered with the Complementary Medical Association as a Canine Psychologist. We are an excellent alternative if unable to make an appointment with a Veterinarian Psychologist or Veterinarian Behaviourist. We work closely with you and your Vet, using the most current science and extensive international resources to meet the needs of dogs with psychological disorders, requiring medication in addition to behaviour therapy.
