Sunny Dog Training Ottawa

Belen was so helpful with our Daschund, Yoshi! We needed help with his reactivity/pullinh and a refresh on basic commands for him. We now have the tools to helps us and understand him better and its already has had an effect on our day to day life with him! If we ever need more help for more training we would love to work again with Belen.:)

When I first met Belén, Coco was anxious and reactive — we couldn’t even go for walks because he was afraid of other dogs and would react badly to them. He also got protective whenever someone came close to me. Looking back, I think we were both insecure and unsure of how to handle things. Belén taught Coco — and mostly me — how to gain control, confidence, and calm. Now we can go for walks, visit the store, and Coco can even stay home alone without barking. 🐶✨ I truly recommend Belén’s services to anyone who has been in the same situation I was. She has a special touch with dogs — and a gift for bringing calm to the storm. 💛

Mungo is a very sweet but very energetic bull terrier who liked to make his own decisions and would often not realize playtime was over. In general, we wanted to improve his focus, his recall, and his on-leash walking. We tried various dog trainers, but found that with Belen things really started to stick. Belen's program has a really good combination of simplicity and repetition that really worked for Mungo and he picked it very quickly. Her instructions and methods are very easy to follow and they are also realistic. We also boarded Mungo with Belen on two occasions and each time he came out better. When we walk him on leash and we encounter other dogs he is always well behaved and it is significantly easier to get his attention when you want it - and he even likes to play fetch now. Finally, we have had many dog sitters and dog trainers over the years for four different bull terriers and some were better than others, but of all of them Belen is the one who had things gripped the most. Not only did we trust her training, but we trusted her with Mungo. It was also pretty clear that he loved staying with Belen who also manages to be firm with dogs that she likes - a key thing for managing a bull terrier. We would recommend Belen without hesitation.
