We’re so, so grateful for K9 Academy and Anesh’s expertise. He’s truly helped turn our life around with our adolescent pup. 🐶 We started private sessions with him three months ago because our 1 year-old English Setter, Pippin, had been incredibly fearful of traffic noises most of his life, and was basically unwalkable. This was causing a lot of stress for us and for Pip, especially as we had been pouring in hours of training each day for months (under the advice of a previous trainer) with next to zero results. We were exhausted and at our wit’s end. Enter Anesh. Though it took us as humans a bit of time to trust the process and to feel confident about the training techniques, we stuck with it and began seeing the positive impacts rather quickly. ✨ Anesh went above and beyond to help the dog in front of him because it’s clear he genuinely loves dogs and wants what’s best for them. He took it session by session, evaluating Pippin each time and tailoring his recommendations based on what he observed. Though he appreciated Pippin was a tough dog to train for the average dog owner, Anesh was confident we could cut through the chaos with persistence, and insisted we put the work in ourselves rather than send him in for, say, a board and train. He could have easily just taken more of our money, but instead, he chose the most suitable training program and approach for Pip’s wellbeing. And that has done wonders for ours and Pip’s relationship. 💗 Throughout the process, Anesh always answered our questions and concerns, and was genuinely fun to be around. A lot of dog trainers can be condescending and intimidating, but Anesh has been nothing but kind, patient and positive. His style is a good blend of fun and no-nonsense, which translates well into his training techniques. As we enter the new year with our much more confident, fulfilled, obedient, off-leash reliable dog, we wanted to pass along our thanks and appreciation for Anesh and K9 Academy. 🙏🏼Looking forward to an adventure-filled 2026 where Pippin can live his best life.
Enjoyed passing level 1! Can’t wait to start Saturdays again in the new year for Level 2!! Rosie has grown and become such a calmer pup. Thank you.
We had a wonderful experience with K9 Academy while training our first dog, Teddy. From the very beginning, Rosa, Anesh, and their team made us feel supported and confident as new dog owners. They helped Teddy learn to walk on leash calmly, which has been a game changer—our young kids can now take him on walks with confidence and ease. Even though Teddy picked up the training quickly and was showing great behavior from the second day, the K9 Academy team continued to check in with us about his behavior at home. They provided thoughtful guidance and practical tips to ensure we could lead Teddy effectively beyond the structured training sessions. We are very grateful for their expertise, professionalism, and ongoing support. K9 Academy has not only helped Teddy thrive but has also given our family the tools to enjoy life with him to the fullest. Highly recommended!
Anesh and the K9 team were amazing to work with. We did the Level 1 & 2 obedience courses with our Australian Sheppard (Joey) and it has completely changed our lives with our dog. We signed up for these courses because Joey would pull while walking on leash and we had zero confidence in his recall when there were distractions. After the first training session his on leash walking improved immediately and was further improved after each session. Throughout the level 2 class we were taught how to properly use an e-collar and Joey learned what a correction with the e-collar meant. Now we fully trust him off leash, even with lots of dogs around and other distractions. Most of our walks now involve periods of Joey being off leash, and we live downtown Toronto with parks that are very busy. The training was worth very penny and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Our specific goals from the training were exceeded and Joey's overall behavior is much better.
Right from the beginning I knew this was a place for me and my puppy from our first interaction and education Anish and Cass provided. I would recommend anyone that is new or even has some knowledge with dogs to unlock your dog’s potential. I have done their puppy program, beginner obedience program and advance obedience which was worth every penny. A nice thing I would like to add is that it was fun and nice see your dog progress through the class with their little classmates and see all the dogs grow together. Also, aside from training you can do dog social, hikes and other fun events.
