Pet Boarding Training in Ottawa

“When I first came to Discover Pet Training with Marisha, I had a nervous and shy Border Collie mix. She was 2 years old and had only been with us for a couple of months. Marisha showed great patience with my nervous girl, and has earned both her trust and love. Since then (almost two years ago now) we've done ALL kinds of classes with Discover Pet Training- beginner and advanced obedience, agility, loose leach walking, stretching, and she even holds a trick title! My shy little dog was lacking some SERIOUS confidence (which I admit sounded crazy to me when Marisha said it out loud). My dog is a completely different dog today. While she can still be nervous with new some new people, she trusts me enough to know she's safe, and Marisha has taught me how to read her body language and remove her from situations if needed. My dog has very strong sit, stay, leave it, and recall commands. People love that she can wave goodbye to them, or jump through a hula hoop with just a one word command. Kids like that they can give her a hand signal to sit, she's learned to present her side to people when I tell her to "say hi", she knows that "focus" means to make eye contact with me, and not break it. She can "check in" on a walk, she sits to cross a street, and I'm not joking when I say that she will turn left or right on command. Marisha has totally changed the balance of our household with her training! I am forever grateful to her in teaching both my dog and I how to have a good relationship and build on basic skills. We love that she offers not just basic obedience classes, but fun and unique ones too that gave a smart dog the chance to build her confidence and both of us the opportunity to bond through training while she was adjusting to a new home. I know this is a long post, but I have so much positive things to say about Marisha and Discover Pet Training that I could go on forever! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs manners, confidence, or just got a new dog or puppy during the adjustment period. This is an actual photo of my very happy dog during an outdoor session of training class.“

“Our pup had a check up that went well. The nurse was attentive to our pup during the exam and the doctor explained things and was gentle with him. We also had a grooming that went pretty well for the first time. Our dog was so soft and fluffy when done. The staff was friendly and helpful all round. A bunch of thank you for everything.“

“Wonderful Staff, very welcoming as a new client. Will definitely be my vet for years to come with my pets!“
