Pet boarding/training in Scarborough

“So happy I stumbled on captain k9 for my dogs raw food. I have a gsd/mal mix and was getting raw food from local pet shops - paying absurd prices for mediocre quality. The food from captain k9 is not only better quality but prepared with care, leaving some chunks instead of a wet mush.

Their grab and go combos make raw food on par with quality kibble. And my pup seems to not hate their veggie mix“

“Our experience with GK9 has been nothing short of perfection. We brought our golden retriever, Henry in at ~12 weeks old as soon as he completed his shots and we stayed from the Puppy program right through to Beginner Obedience where Henry earned his first diploma! I went into this simply wanting to be able to walk him with ease, knowing how large he was expected to grow. Through Mark's amazing guidance, not only did Henry stop pulling within our first 2 weeks, but he has since gone on to master a number of commands. Mark has been a wonderful support to my family and I, teaching each of us (adults and teen), our roles with Henry and how to adjust based on his interactions with each of us. Rita and Chris have also been super responsive anytime we have needed to be in touch. We look forward to continuing with additional programs in the fall!“

“Angelkerr Dog Training demonstrates a profoundly sophisticated, psychologically informed, and intuitively calibrated approach to canine behavior that immediately distinguishes them from conventional obedience programs. Their methodology goes far beyond basic command structure and instead focuses on cognition, emotional thresholds, temperament shaping, and the deeper neurological learning patterns that determine how dogs interpret and respond to the world.

I brought in my Pomsky, a breed celebrated for its sharp intellect, quirky independence, and famously stubborn problem solving nature. These dogs do not respond to inexperienced handling because they learn quickly, test boundaries, and outthink weak structure. Angelkerr understood my dog’s accelerated learning speed, contrarian tendencies, and motivation hierarchy. The training was tailored to his mental pace and instinctual wiring, and it harnessed his personality rather than suppressing it.

Condo living adds another level of difficulty. Limited square footage, hallway encounters, elevators, constant sounds, guest interactions, and urban stimulation create a unique behavioral environment that most trainers never account for. Angelkerr provided guidance that directly applied to real life scenarios instead of generic backyard based instruction. That level of contextual awareness is incredibly rare.

I am not a beginner with dogs. I have bred, raised, and worked with many throughout my life, and I am familiar with reinforcement timing, confidence shaping, drive development, and behavioral conditioning. Even with that background, I was genuinely impressed by the depth, clarity, and intelligence behind the explanations and techniques. This was not guesswork, trend driven training, or superficial command teaching. This was true expertise.

Angel was highly professional, extremely accommodating, and communicated with crystal clear precision. There was no confusion, no vague wording, and no filler advice. Everything was intentional, structured, and rooted in behavioral science.

I left the session feeling equipped, confident, and with a far deeper understanding of my dog’s behavior and how to guide it effectively within the realities of condo living.

For owners with intelligent, strong willed, high drive dogs, especially those in urban environments, Angelkerr Dog Training stands in a category of its own. A rare blend of psychology, real experience, and refined technique. Strongly recommended.“

“I purchased the bath and trim package with an upgrade luxury package. Marshall did not receive a nail trim, nor were his anal glands recessed. However, his haircut was perfect, aside from some brown spots being missed around his mouth. The attendant who worked on him has many great reviews below, I believe she was having a bad day as when I called for a follow up regarding his nails not being trimmed, I was advised that she went home early. I am grateful for his cut, but he is still stinky and I have to do his nails myself. Oh well, thank you for your service.“

“Great staff, I got in for a last minute appt. For 30 mins after I called.. was happy about that“
