I see Winter French trainers and walkers daily around my neighborhood and the dogs they walk always look happy and well engaged. So it was an easy choice for me when I needed an emergency doggie walker while I got called away for the evening. Now when my dog sees anyone from Winter French she bee lines it over there. That tells me she had a great experience. 5 stars!
Quinn has been working with my dog Skylar for three years. He did day training with her when she was a puppy and I regularly board her with Quinn when I’m travelling. He’s the « dog whisperer » of Ottawa (in a very positive way). Skylar loves to visit him and she always comes back better behaved than when I left her!
I started working with Winter French Canine Training over three years ago. My dog, Alfie, was a rescue and was severely under socialized, terrible on leash and was quite nervous about men approaching us. I was astounded by how quickly my dog fell in love with Quinn (first session) and his leash skills rapidly improved. Today, Alfie is an incredibly happy and friendly dog. He loves almost all people, and is unfazed by reactive dogs. He can walk quite far in a heel off leash as well! I highly recommend to anyone seeking training and discipline for their dog, while maintaining your pup's individual personality!
Winter has been working with us with our dog who has become very reactive to visitors. He and his team were very helpful as we had home practices of door bell ringing and visits into our home with different team members. Winter’s instructions helped us and we keep following his good advices. Thanks a lot Winter and to your team.
We had the pleasure of working with Quinn while fostering a sweet and gentle dog who was struggling with significant separation anxiety. With a decision deadline approaching on whether we would adopt her, we reached out to Quinn for support and guidance—and we are so grateful we did. From our very first conversation, Quinn was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in his approach. He offered practical tips right away that helped us start building a foundation of trust and routine. We ultimately enrolled our pup in his training daycare program, and the progress we saw in just a few short weeks was remarkable. Not only did her separation anxiety noticeably improve, but we also saw a boost in her overall confidence and ease in new or challenging situations. Quinn’s dedication, flexibility, and understanding of dog behavior made all the difference. We highly recommend Quinn to anyone looking for a dog trainer who truly goes the extra mile.
