Testimonials
We have a 126 lbs. Rottweiler who did not play well with other dogs. We wanted our daughters dog to be able to play with our dog, but it was war! After 3 sessions with Karen, they now play in the pool together, run & play together and walk side-by-side together.
​
Well done, Karen!

"Karen was instrumental in helping us take a very large breed dog that we had rescued and who was initially totally out of control, and not only taught him how to be a dog - but a dog that became the best family pet we could ever ask for.
​
Her knowledge and experience of the canine world is exceptional !"

Mike Rusheleau (Markham, ON)
Having an American Bulldog, it was imperative that I find the right obedience trainer. One with knowledge in obedience, behavioural issues, breed traits and possess years of hands on experience. Luckily, I was referred to Karen at TlcdogsandMore, where I found just that. Classes were personable, attentive, thorough and highly educational. Karen educates dog owners on the why's, when and learn how to anticipate what's about to happen before it does.
I've never had so much fun learning & bonding with a dog. TLCDOGSandMore is a MUST for any and all dog owners, no matter what age, breed , background or behavioural issues. I highly recommend Karen at TLCDOGSandMore!!!

I have done 2 sets of classes with Karen @ TLCDOGSandMore, Levels I&2 with my Boxer Penny, and Level I with her adopted brother, Chance.
I have to say that these classes were amazing! The dogs love Karen & Karen loves the dogs. I really didn't know what to expect getting a Boxer, worrying they would be hyper and crazy, thus we enrolled in obedience classes with Karen right away.
Penny was 16 weeks old and by the end of the 1st class, it was clear she was the smart one & I was the one needing the class. Thanks to these classes at TLCDOGSandMore with Karen, I can take Penny anywhere. My 8yr old daughter can walk her, ride her bike with her. I look forward to my next class, Canine Good Neighbour certificate course..
We then adopted Penny's 18month, 85lb brother, Chance, who was was scared and afraid of everything and everyone. We started immediately with Level I with Karen and after completing just the Level I obedience class, Chance is a more confident, happy dog. Karen just didn't teach sit, stay, here, but helped me to build a bond with him and achieving a more balanced dog. When we first adopted Chance, I couldn't control or manage him on a leash. After level I with Karen, I'm able to walk both dogs together and everyone enjoys a relaxed walk. Chance's next challenge the next class, Level 2.
Thank you Karen, for helping me be a better dog owner and training me how to have fun working with my dogs!

Health, Happiness & Knowledge
Think Again HumansA dog's brain possesses a social & emotional IQ that far surpasses that of a human | Dog FearLack of training &/or poor socialization are the top reasons for dogs being abandoned & discarded at animal shelters. Approx 15 million dogs/year are euthanized in North America alone! |
---|---|
Aggression, Dominance...Growling is the symptom, lack of direction, fear or confusion are the real causes of aggression. | Dogs Read Our MindsMost dogs can read their owner’s innermost thoughts as easily as an open book (published in large type) |
Counter CruisersRead your dog’s body language so you can anticipate what he’s going to do and re-direct him before he’s in full swing (ie. jumping up, pulling, counter-cruising, lunging etc.) | How Puppies UnderstandDogs don’t understand our language until they are taught. It takes time to teach them what we want them to do. There are no short-cuts, miracles, magic wands or wonder-dust – ONLY understanding |
