Transforming Canine Behavior

I’m John McKay, a balanced and humane dog trainer in Kingston, Ontario. I come to you in-home or at a local park to help you with training your dog.

I love dogs. They are loyal. What you see is what you get. They are good for us and they need to be good in public as well. Nothing drives obedience in dogs as much as a strong reinforcement and clear communication. Dogs double down on what gets them results and abandon what doesn’t. They are a product of their everyday environment. In most cases, tweaks to your approach result in changes in your dog’s behavior.

I use positive reinforcement for basic obedience behaviors. I do not, and will not, use aversive methods. I do not use e-Collars. There are effective and ethical e-Collar trainers, but I personally won’t risk the chance of a dog associating pain or sensation with another dog or person.
