We and our dog had great experience with Private Foundation classes led by Claire Blumenthal! We could see the results after the first session, and gathered a lot of useful exercises and information in just 4 lessons. It's definitely worth it if you have a new dog and want to have more structured approach to their training.
Stephanie was the most amazing trainer! We did the reactive class and she was so compassionate with our dogs needs and the training was very practical and relevant!
Stephanie did a fantastic job helping me understand how to help reduce my dog's reactivity to other dogs. Her instructions and tips were easy to follow and use in the real world! I highly recommend the Toronto Humane Society's reactivity classes.
We loved our puppy socialization class with Stephanie. She gave us a lot of practical tips to train Nila and also answered all our questions, that really helped a lot! Definitely coming back to her for more training sessions!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for the Toronto Humane Society ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the wonderful opportunity to rescue an 8-month-old puppy through a mutual friend, and I couldn't be happier with the support I received from the Toronto Humane Society. As a first-time dog owner, I was initially unsure about how to care for my new furry friend, especially since she belongs to the American Bully breed, which has a reputation that is often misunderstood. However, the Toronto Humane Society has proven to be a fantastic resource for understanding animal behavior and instincts, in addition to offering various services. The Toronto Humane Society's commitment to understanding animal behavior and instincts, rather than just focusing on training methods, is truly commendable. Even though I haven't taken a class yet, I have looked into what they offer, and I appreciate that they prioritize this aspect. It's reassuring to know that they take into consideration the unique needs and instincts of different breeds, including my American Bully. During my interaction with the Toronto Humane Society, I learned that they offer training and behavior classes that have been incredibly helpful to many pet owners. These classes provide a deep understanding of animal behavior and instincts, which I believe is crucial for effective training and handling. I am excited to enroll in these classes in the near future to further develop my knowledge and skills in this area. In addition to their commitment to understanding animal behavior, the Toronto Humane Society also offers affordable veterinary care through a program I qualified for. This has been a huge relief for me, as I am currently not working. The financial aspect of providing healthcare for my pup was a concern, but the Toronto Humane Society has made it much more manageable. Overall, I highly appreciate the Toronto Humane Society's dedication to understanding animal behavior and instincts, along with their affordable veterinary care program. I am confident that their training and behavior classes will be just as fantastic as the other services they offer. I highly recommend the Toronto Humane Society to fellow pet owners who are looking for an organization that truly understands and supports both the animals and their owners. Thank you, Toronto Humane Society, for your exceptional commitment to animal welfare!

Compassionate, science-based training that builds confidence and strengthens bonds between pets and their people.
