THE MOST AMAZING DOG PERSON IN TORONTO!…read more Caryn is the most passionate dog lover and dog expert you will meet. Her involvement in our dog's life began before we even adopted! She gave us advice and support through the adoption application process, was one of our references, and even accompanied me on the trip to meet and decide on our Malik. She's always there for advice, and she is amazingly well-read and educated on the subject of dogs. Her own dog, Parker, lost a leg in an accident before being rescued and adopted by Caryn. You can tell as soon as you meet Parker that he has the most wonderful life a dog could have. He, like Cesar Millan's Daddy, has a magical effect on other dogs and often accompanies Caryn's clients on walks. Whatta Pup! is the business born out of a tireless dedication to and deep passion for dogs. You can't go wrong if you're working in a field you adore! Caryn offers walking, let-out and visiting services, obedience training, behavioural consultations, selected grooming, and special programs such as dog-safety for children. She's also a great resource to speak with about therapy. And... don't tell anyone I told you, but word on the street is that she's going to start offering canine massage therapy sometime in the future... shhhhh! She will guide you to the best of the best in the doggie universe - "phodography" (pet photography), Martingale collars, wicked cool Whatta Pup! merchandise, as well as her own all-natural, homemade shampoos and treats! Visit the Whatta Pup! website to see all the wonderful ways you can involve her in your doggie's life!

I chose WhatAPup to help socialize my 8 week old basset hound. I was able to enrol in the Puppy…read moreSocialization class which was an incredibly easy process. Caryn makes it possible to pay for classes online as well as manage your schedule online. So the flexibility of the courses was a really great feature for us as our schedule is very inconsistent. We're graduated now but our experience here was memorable to say the least! The puppy social class offered exactly what it stated. The room was very clean and well organized. The instructors were very helpful in answering our questions about my puppies behaviour issues I had been experiencing. Caryn is extremely sweet and you can tell she really loves what she does! The male instructor (Sean I believe his name was?) was one of our favourites! He always seemed to have the perfect treat for our puppy that made her pretty much grovel at his feet!!!!!! Something I thought she'd never have the attention span to do! All instructors had a very pleasant demeanour and seem knowledgable even to your specific breed (impressive)! They gave me a great feel on what to expect when my basset was able to go into the real world and how to encourage good behaviour. The only complain I would make would be about the facility itself.. It's very industrial and I'd like them to be able to expand their business into something maybe more inviting? (The building is a bit sketchy on the outside) but the experience was more than I could ask for. I will be enrolling in more classes in the future thats for sure!!

I had the pleasure of having Marg to train my 2-year old Goldendoogle a couple of months ago. She…read moreprovided us with a great training experience, reinforcing the good behaviour and teaching me how to avoid situations that were stressful for my dog. Most importantly, she observed my dog, and tailored the training based on his temperament, which made the world of difference. She taught me many effective techniques and prepared reports after each session for me with her observations and recommendations. My dog is calmer, follows the commands, and is way better behaved. I highly recommend Marg and Dogease Puppy & Dog Training to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated and efficient dog trainer.

Great Trainer! Highly Recommended!…read more Abbey was well trained during the COVID pandemic. The private sessions were very useful.

She arranged for dog walks every day and worked within the quarantine safety parameters. After the 14 days, I continued with them for another two months until I left town.

Thank you so much!!!

When I first got Ashby, I needed to find a reliable dog sitter for her a few weekends over the…read moresummer. I saw WalkWithMeg on craiglist and gave her a call. I went over to her house to introduce our dogs and check it out, and within a few minutes of speaking to her and seeing her wonderful rapport with my dog, I felt confident going with her services. Meg is very kind and friendly, and has watched Ashby for two long weekends. I never was worried because in addition to updates sent right to my phone, she also posted photos of Ashby and Wil-E 's adventures throughout the weekend. She never takes in more than a couple dogs too, so you can be sure your pup is getting lots of attention, and brought Ashby along on all her dog walking ventures. I always came back to a tuckered out and happy dog! I am so happy I found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a little puppy care!

We've been using Meghan and her team for just over a month to walk our puppy. Meghan has a great…read moreattitude and not only sees that our pup gets a good walk but is properly socialized with the neighborhood and other dogs. She also is good about reinforcing work we're doing in puppy socialization classes, helping our dog to build confidence. Meghan is also diligent about letting us know how the day went through texts, emails or instagram pics. Meghan first came by for a meet and greet where we had a chance to ask some questions and get some much-needed puppy advice. You can tell she really cares about making the experience a positive one for the pet and owners. Meghan has been super reliable and we're confident our dog is having a great time on his potty breaks.

That's when Canine Movement came highly recommended by one of my close friends. Christina is on my very small list of people I trust with LadyBug. She is always on time and is extremely professional. She knows a lot about behaviour and knows how to handle my bossy diva with positive reinforcement when she gets a bit out of hand. I would highly recommend Canine Movement and would trust all my animals with Christina!

Suzanne has been so patient and loving with my Keeshond and he has come to adore her and knows when she is coming and becomes very excited to see her. I think I would have given up and returned my pup if I had not found Suzanne. She is also very knowledgeable and willing to try different methods in training but keeping it fun at the same time.
