Virtue K9

Virtue K9 Our philosophy is simple. Great dogs are stable, confident, and obedient. Great owners are consistent, clear and encouraging.

We teach people how to be great dog owners and how to train their dogs to become great dogs.

She’s back!

After recovering from surgery, Winnie is back to work! She lost some fur during the process, so she’ll be rocking a t-shirt to keep the cold out until her fluff comes back. Coincidentally, 101 Dalmatian’s, which was the movie that made me fall in love with rough collies as a kid.

Huge thank you to Dr Grant at Deer Park Pet Hospital for taking such great care of her and putting the pep back in her step!

The Switzerland table (neutrality table) got a facelift!

A concept I picked up during my time with , the Switzerland table is used to teach dogs neutrality to one another. A great tool for working through reactivity!

Winnie and Fitz are taking it one step further and showing their affection by holding paws ❤️

For Sparta!
That’s right, this 8 month old guy’s name is Spartacus and he is as mighty as his name! He had a great first session today and learned that screaming is not the path to getting what he wants. Very excited to see him grow and where his adventures take him!

I had the pleasure of visiting the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary () last week. As a trainer, it was so fascinating to watch the wolfdogs interact with each other and the wide range of how they responded to humans. I have so much respect for the role Yamnuska plays in education and awareness. Also, a huge thank you to the staff for humouring me and all my questions, even though it was freezing outside!

Being informed about the genetic and individual needs of an animal before you bring them into your home is critical; not every lifestyle or home is the right fit for a particular animal. Inquire before you acquire!

Thank you Fort McMurray! The fox, deer and even the Aurora Borealis came out to say welcome back home.

We had a great weekend working with some great dogs and their humans and are grateful for the opportunity to say a last goodbye to another. The loss of a dog is devastating. Especially for their families but also for everyone else whose lives they touch, including their trainers. I’m honoured to work with such amazing canine and human teams at all stages of their lives. It truly is the best “job” in the world.

Also huge shoutout to helper Kate for holding out until our last day before going into heat! Great timing, kid!

So long until next time!

Huge shoutout to this pup who has been rocking her in-home sessions!

Did you know, we provide in-home private training sessions? In these sessions we come to your dog and do the training so you don’t have to be home. We provide mental and physical exercise and work towards the goals of your training plan. This is great for those long days away from home, or when you’re running short on time.

Have questions? Send us a note and see if this could be helpful for you.

Forever grateful for clients who take the time to provide feedback!

“My 7 year old golden retriever has had many obstacles to overcome with me during our training sessions; such as food aggression, biting, jealousy over toys, scared of getting in vehicles, not wanting to retrieve and return toys, getting over fears, and lack of recall confidence.

Jennica has worked with me on all of those obstacles and even helped me become my dogs best friend. Jennica has shown me that there are so many different approaches to training dogs based on what they are driven by, such as, play, praise, or food. Jennica tailored each session based on my goals, while also encouraging my dog and I to work on our bond.

Our latest accomplishment with Berkley has been recall work. I purchased a long lead from Virtue K9 and with some advice, and a little encouragement, my dog is recalling better every single day!

Another reason that I love Virtue K9’s training platform is not only are in person sessions amazing, but I’ve also done virtual and phone call sessions with Jennica, and they have been full of education, knowledge, and tips.

I highly recommend VirtueK9. Their training program has been life changing! My dog and I have never been happier.”
