WELCOME TO CLASS!
My darling French Bulldog Maggie has passed this course with distinction. This would not have been possible without the fine teachings of Karen and Bev. Both these ladies conveyed instructions clearly and with humour, making the hour fun and interesting for both dog and owner. Maggie and I thoroughly enjoyed the course and plan on being back for more next fall. With many thanks,

Wanting to be new dog owners, we got 16 weeks old puppy, named Pepper.
Shortly after bringing Pepper home, she was attacked by much larger dog and
seriously injured.
After consultation with the vet, we came to understanding that Pepper maybe
traumatized by the horrible experience.
We soon realized this was the case, Pepper was scared of other dogs and continuously barking.
We contacted Lisbeth at Cowichan canine, who came to our home and gave us one on one lessons.
We found Lisbeth to be very knowledgeable , professional and patient with novice dog owners.
Lisbeth invited us to the Cowichan canine facility, where we were introduced to the staff and
other dog owners.
Being so impressed with the dedication of the staff and variety of classes, we enrolled Pepper
immediately.
Whenever we have any concerns or questions, Lisbeth is always quick to respond.
Pepper became much calmer dog after reactive dog classes, so I am enjoying walking with her.
To Lisbeth and the stuff, Thank you for everything.
