Imagine getting a puppy in May 2020…only to realize that most dog trainers had stopped working due to the pandemic, despite (at that time) easing restrictions. Serena has been a God-send for our pup (@brooklyntheshibainu), as we’ve practiced a) socializing despite social distancing and b) reinforcement of obedient commands. As a result, Brooklyn has been obedient and easy to work with as he continues to grow! It’s super clear that Serena prioritizes doing the right thing for the dogs, as she gives out tons of advice whenever we need it. Thanks for all you do Serena!

Our miniature poodle Tori took Serena's class this spring. Serena's classes helped us to better communicate with Tori. Her classes were easy to follow and practical and she was extremely patient during the classes and answered all the questions we had. Thank you Serena.
We and of course my lovely 15-month-old golden love Serena. Her class is engaging, practical and easy to follow. She offers tons of useful training skills in class, and addresses any questions /concerns after class, which makes new parents like us worry-free. We have seen my pup's obedience improved over time (9 months) and we can see the benefits of training with her in the long-run.
Serena knows dogs. We love Serena, she is more than a dog trainer to us, she really cares about your dog and has become a good friend to us and our dog. If you're looking for someone to train your dog for you, look elsewhere. If you'd like to learn how to train your own dog and create a strong bond with your pup, Serena will be great help for you. Not to mention, if you'd like your dog to socialize with other dogs you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere better to go. Group classes are outdoors and in a wide variety of places in Burnaby.
Serena is AMAZING. If you have a dog and you’re wiling to put in the work, don’t question it and contact her. I cannot recommend it enough. A bit about us: our dog is a timid, easily scared rescue pup. She has some issues with aggression towards other dogs, as well as leash pulling. In times of fear we would find that nothing would make her listen to us. We tried other training in the past, but found it to be unrealistic - she’s a very good dog in the home and in safe, familiar scenarios and felt nothing was sticking when we then took her out into the real world. I was concerned about taking our to a group training environment, in fear that she would be problematic for other dogs. Serena reassured me from the start that it’s a controlled environment and the exposure would be good for my dog. She was absolutely right! Serena is super realistic in her approach - you’re not training for hypothetical scenarios or doing things you wouldn’t need at home. You’re training to ensure you and your dog understand each other more, and teaching them about the benefits of paying attention to YOU and not other dogs/people/cyclists/you name it. You’re in different surroundings every week with changing groups of people and dogs, just like the real world. Serena’s classes aren’t a place where you let your dog off leash to “socialize” and chat to other owners. They’re a place where you have to be fully focused, engaged and giving your dog 110% of your energy. The connection we have built with our dog which we will continue to work has rewarded us ten fold - our dog is so much more confident, relaxed and is becoming less reactive. We love Serena, and our dog loves Serena’s treats - hah!
