My board and train program provides a highly structured, results-driven approach to developing reliable, well-mannered dogs. Each program is customized to meet your dog’s individual temperament, goals, and learning pace, ensuring clarity, consistency, and lasting success.
Your dog will live in a home environment—not a kennel—where they receive daily, hands-on training and exposure to real-world situations. Over the course of 4–8 weeks, we focus on building strong obedience foundations, improving manners, and addressing behavioral challenges through clear communication and proven methods.
You’ll receive consistent updates and pictures throughout the program, and upon completion, we’ll conduct a detailed go-home session to transfer skills and set you up for continued success. This program is ideal for owners seeking professional-level results and a well-balanced, confident companion.
I offer a specialized Service Dog Training Program designed for owners seeking reliable, professionally trained support dogs for PTSD and anxiety-related needs. This program allows owners to start with their own dog, which I first assess for suitability and temperament to ensure they have the potential to excel in a service role.
Qualified dogs then board and train with me in a structured, home-based environment where they receive focused, hands-on training tailored to public access standards. Throughout their stay, dogs are gradually introduced to real-world settings and undergo multiple public access evaluations to ensure they perform with confidence, stability, and composure in any environment.
Upon successful completion, each dog is certified for public access and prepared to provide dependable emotional and practical support to their handler wherever they may need to go. This program is ideal for individuals seeking a trusted partner trained to the highest standards of service and reliability.
Our group classes provide a structured, engaging environment for both puppies and adult dogs to learn, grow, and socialize in a controlled setting. Each class is designed to help your dog build confidence, improve manners, and develop focus around new people, dogs, and distractions.
With intentionally small class sizes, every dog receives personalized attention and guidance to ensure steady progress. Lessons are tailored to each group’s dynamics—meeting dogs where they are and helping them advance at their own pace.
Group classes are offered seasonally, from spring through fall, and space is limited to maintain the quality of instruction. If you’re interested in enrolling, please reach out for current availability and upcoming session details.
Give your dog an stress-free, home-style boarding experience where comfort, care, and individualized attention come first. Unlike traditional kennels, your dog will live in a calm, home environment, enjoying daily outdoor play, cozy accommodations, and consistent routines—just like they do at home.
Throughout their stay, you’ll receive regular picture updates so you can see them happy, relaxed, and thriving. With personalized care from a trusted, professional trainer, your dog enjoys a safe and nurturing experience that goes far beyond standard boarding.
My journey into dog training truly began with my first dog, Sky. He was an incredible companion, full of love and personality—but he struggled deeply with separation anxiety. Through Sky, I learned how even small things we do early in a dog’s life can have a lasting impact on their behaviour and emotional well-being. Working through his challenges opened my eyes to the importance of understanding, patience, and proper guidance. Sky was my greatest teacher and the inspiration behind starting my own dog training business.
After Sky passed away, I felt a huge void in my heart. To honor his memory, I began fostering dogs in 2023 through an organization that rescues chihuahuas from Texas. Many of these dogs had come from heartbreaking circumstances — neglected, abandoned, or never having experienced real love. Fostering taught me the true power of patience, trust, and compassion. It also gave me hands-on experience working with small breeds, each with their own unique story and needs.
For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working hands-on with a professional dog training company, gaining valuable experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. During this time, I’ve helped dogs learn manners, overcome behavioral challenges, and develop reliable obedience. I’ve also had the opportunity to assist with service dog training, including public access work, which has been incredibly rewarding and deepened my understanding of specialized support training.
In early 2025, I took my passion a step further by completing a three-month course in Manitoba, where I learned to train service dogs. During that time, I gained valuable experience in kennel management, task training, and public access work. One of the most rewarding moments of my career so far was training a service dog who was later paired with a veteran living with PTSD. Seeing how that dog changed someone’s life reaffirmed exactly why I do what I do.
"I needed boarding for my dog, Sophie, and Kasia once again went above and beyond. She truly puts my dog's wellbeing first and provided regular updates with adorable photos throughout Sophie's stay. Her home is the perfect environment—comfortable, spacious, and welcoming—allowing Sophie to maintain her normal routine (especially her favourite activity: napping on the couch). It's never easy to trust someone else with your pet, but with Kasia, that trust comes naturally. I couldn't recommend her more highly!"

"Kasia is such an amazing trainer! I have two little Maltese dogs who used to struggle with walking on the leash and listening in general. After completing Kasia's board and train program, I've seen such a huge improvement! With her guidance and support, I've gained the confidence to keep up their training at home and build on the solid foundations she created. Walks are now so much more enjoyable, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Kasia!"

"I can't thank Kasia enough for everything she's done for Abbey! Abbey went in for board and train, and Kasia truly brought her out of her shell. She worked on proper socialization and helped build Abbey's confidence—and the difference is incredible! When we picked her up, it felt like we had a brand-new dog (in the best way!). Kasia also made sure we had all the tools and support to keep Abbey's progress going at home. So grateful for her dedication and care!"
