EXCELLENTBased on 12 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Adrienne Catlos2024-02-12Brice is simply the best. His goal is to be every customer’s last trainer and he is definitely ours. My pup momo is very smart but also very independent (read: stubborn) and in just two weeks she was an obedient little working dog. Regardless of the challenges you have have with your dog, I’m confident Brice can help you solve them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Amanda Dorner2024-01-02Brice helped teach my dog and me several life-changing walking skills in our first 1-hour training session. I went from having extreme anxiety about walking my dog, to feeling much more in control and able to handle him.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jaime Lanka2023-03-15I am very grateful to have had Montreal spend time with my dog who I was beginning to think I had no control over. He has thoroughly explained the behavior and how to change it and given me all I need to keep the work going so that I can feel more confident walking my dog!! Totally recommend Montreal.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Melissa Ramirez2023-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.William Parry2023-02-23Great experience with Total Dog. I have a stubborn as hell Bull Terrier and Montreal, one of the behaviorist trainers did an outstanding job with him. From obedience commands to walking on a leash (which he outright wouldn’t do before). Very impressed and very grateful. Montreal is one of the best.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Renee Bagneris2023-02-17Montreal trained my mom’s dog Elvis who was at the time showing aggressive/reactive behavior. We thought we had no hope. We were going to re-home him or put him down. Montreal taught us that patience and leadership is the key to success. In two weeks we had a changed dog. We knew that we had a lot more work to be done also by us as pet parents it has now been four months and Elvis is doing great thanks to Montreal for showing us how to have patience with our fur baby I would definitely recommend him as one of total dogs best trainersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Christine West2022-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kate Gross2022-03-19I have had a WONDERFUL!

Here's What Our Therapy Dog Training Program Offers
Welcome to our Therapy Dog Training Program, where we specialize in preparing dogs to provide comfort, support, and companionship to individuals in need. Therapy dogs play a vital role in various settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and rehabilitation centers, by bringing joy and emotional support to those they interact with. Our program focuses on teaching dogs the necessary skills and behaviors to excel in therapy work while also nurturing their natural temperament and instincts.
Temperament Assessment: We begin with a completely free therapy dog training session where we will be conducting a temperament assessment to evaluate your dog’s suitability for therapy work. We look for traits such as calmness, friendliness, confidence, and adaptability, which are essential for successful therapy dog candidates. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalized training plan tailored to meet your dog’s unique needs.
Basic Obedience Training: Our program includes comprehensive obedience training to ensure that your dog responds reliably to basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and leave it. These foundational skills are crucial for maintaining control and ensuring safety during therapy visits.
Socialization and Exposure: We expose your dog to a wide range of environments, people, and animals to help them become comfortable and confident in various situations. This includes visits to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, parks, and other public places where therapy dogs may work.
Human Interaction Skills: We focus on teaching your dog appropriate behavior around people of all ages and abilities. This includes gentle greetings, accepting petting and handling, and maintaining calm and composed demeanor in crowded or noisy environments.
Therapeutic Techniques: We introduce your dog to specific therapeutic techniques, such as gentle nudging, leaning, and providing comfort through physical contact, to help them engage with individuals in a meaningful and comforting way.
Handler Education and Support: We provide comprehensive education and support for therapy dog handlers, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate therapy visits successfully. This includes understanding the roles and responsibilities of therapy teams, learning about hygiene protocols, and managing interactions with clients and staff.
Guaranteed Results, Continuous Support and Guidance: With our Results Guarantee we promise to reach the goals that you set forth at the start of the therapy dog training program and we will provide unlimited lessons until those goals are reached. Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with the lessons. We also provide unlimited ongoing phone and email support, to address any challenges or refine skills over the lifetime of your dog.
With our Therapy Dog Training Program, you’ll give your dog the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others while also strengthening your bond and creating meaningful connections in your community. Whether you’re looking to volunteer at hospitals, schools, or other facilities, our program will prepare you and your dog for a rewarding journey as therapy partners.
