Glenda

        Glenda graduated, with distinction, from the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behaviour in 2014 to pursue her career as a Professional Dog Trainer.  She is also a Certified Trick Dog Instructor, as well as a Certified Instructor for the Puppy Start Right Program.   Glenda has also completed the Canine Freestyle Dance Program and her beloved dog Shasta is a certified ‘Canine Good Neighbour ‘. Glenda also attended and completed the DOGSAFE First Aid Proram in 2014 and again in 2017.

        Glenda has had a lifelong, ongoing, special interest and passion for the care, management, psychology and training of dogs.  She has attended many different dog obedience programs, classes and workshops throughout Vancouver Island and has owned, raised, and trained a wide variety of different breeds and breed-mixes of dogs as well as being well-experienced in the whelping and raising of litters of puppies. 

        Glenda's little dog Tucker is featured on the SHAW video entitled “Training Dogs in the Cowichan Valley”. Her other little dog ‘Charlie’ was her KPA dog and partner throughout the Academy course curriculum.

  Most of Glenda’s dogs have also performed Tricks and Agility at the yearly ‘Cowichan Exhibition‘ in representation of Cowichan Canine Behaviour and Training.

Another one of Glenda’s dogs, in representation of Cowichan Canine behaviour and Training,  was featured in the July 09 2016 ‘Brentwood College Black Tie Awards Ceremony '. Glenda had trained her dog Shasta to independently carry the envelope, containing the winner’s name in it, up onto the stage and present it to the announcer.

 Glenda previously owned and lived on, with her six dogs, a two- acre hobby farm in Cobble Hill which she had developed into an enriched, dog-friendly environment dedicated to the happiness, training, fulfillment and activity needs of her own dogs as well as the many dogs that had boarded with her throughout the years.  The dogs worked, trained and played together and any issues they may have had, individually or socially, were addressed in dynamic interplay. 

Glenda currently lives in Cowichan Bay on a 1/3 acre, dog enriched environment with her two dogs Shasta and Capone.

What Clients Are Saying:

Both Carmella and I had a great time in the Puppy Start Right program and we are amazed every day at how much difference both the program and its philosophy have made for our pup. Thanks again to you and Laurie!!!

Hero has been making lots and lots of progress. His only setbacks have been when I have pushed him too far. I am on summer break from teaching and have been dedicated hours each day to his training. Too many great stories to share, but I do have to share this one, for me it was his "graduation." Ever since our sessions with you at the house, I have been working with Hero on an "away" command, where he keeps away from being right in front of doors. For the last months, I drop treats on the floor at the end of the hallway by my living room as I go in and out the front door. I do it 100% of the time. A few weeks ago, high winds blew open the front door at 7:30 a.m. while I was sleeping. I heard Hero pacing in the living room and then whining. I got up to investigate and found Hero waiting patiently in his "away" location, waiting for his treat, rather than go out the un-supervised wide open front door and into mischief. It was worth every treat I had spent!!!!!
