What is "Real Life Canines"?
And why is our dog training different than other
dog trainers in Barrie and Simcoe County?
First, we need to clarify what Real Life Canines is NOT.
This is NOT internet dog training.
Real Life Canines does NOT offer "tips and tricks."
- There is NO "quick fix" or band-aid solutions for mild or serious behaviour problems.
- There is NO solution of "Does your dog do 'X'? Just do 'Y' and you'll be saved!"
- There is NO gimmick, dark arts, scientific formula, voodoo, drugs, method or magic spell.
In Real Life, tips and tricks are NOT long term solutions for even minor issues.
Quick fixes are about the quick and don't offer a Real fix.
Gimmicks, formulas, methods, equipment and techniques don't address the foundational issues in the relationship that need to change to create lasting change.
Real Life Canines is NOT purely positive.
Real Life Canines does NOT use any unnecessary equipment like E-Collars, excessive treats or force.
Think of a relationship you have with another person- If it's not built on a solid foundation of clear, honest and fair communication, it's only a matter of time before it breaks down.
Relying on equipment, food and toys, having to constantly force or bribe for bare minimums is not a healthy or sustainable relationship to have with a dog.
​​
What makes Real Life Canines different from other dog trainers in Barrie and the surrounding area of Simcoe County, is, how we look at the dog and the underlying relationship. We are looking to diagnose and resolve the true causes of bad behaviour, not simply treat the symptoms. How we understand the dog and how that impacts our training is what sets us apart from any other dog trainer in the Barrie area.

At Real Life Canines, the dog comes FIRST. ALWAYS.
All the money, five star reviews, social media followers and popularity
will NEVER matter more than doing what's right by the dog.
