ABOUT
Ashley Hoedel
Canine Behavior
Specialist
What to say about myself?
​
I am a certified canine behaviourist through the Canada West Canine Center in British Columbia, I have been actively training dogs for over 15 years in both behaviour modification and performance. I have trained and competed in multiple dog sports all over North America including performing with SuperDogs & The canine stars. My dogs and I also have won multiple regional Agility Championships and have placed multiple times at the National Agility Championships. In addition I specialize in dog reactivity rehabilitation.
​
My goal is to show people the right way to communicate with their dog so that we can all live our best lives and have the most opportunities.
Methods
Our Way Of Training
Education in canine training is ever evolving. Methods are being discovered, discarded or altered every day. We are continually educating ourselves so that we can have as many training methods in our mental tool box as possible in order to offer the best and most suitable optional for each individual dog.
Methods we most commonly use are:
Positive Reinforcement
Shaping (Clicker Training)
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
​
Dogs also thrive on routine which is why we incorporate crate training into every program that we offer, including the day school. Crate training allows care givers (including you) a means to management, which is what is necessary to guarantee your dogs safety while keeping them comfortable and happy.
We believe in giving your dog choices and setting them up for success.
TESTIMONIALS
Clients Recommend
S.L.
Ashley is a terrific, highly knowledgeable and a skilled dog trainer. From puppies to senior dogs, she has the ability to identify the issue and help the owner address training challenges.
M.B.
We just finished the puppy class with Ashley and absolutely loved it. Not only did our pup learn so much and have an awesome time, but we were able to come out of the classes with tips and tricks to deal with his puppy behaviours at home! Ashley was so patient with Oliver and I'm pretty sure she is his favourite person in the world!
K.T.
I took my dog to Ashley for a Manners class and she is so patient with not only my dog but all of them. She is kind and just a great place to take your dogs, highly recommend!
