He can work with any breed and any age, and he is right - it really is "training for people" that he offers, because often it is not the dog that has the issue, it is the owner.

Everything she has told us on the 1:1 session has been extremely helpful and we love attending the puppy socialization classes.

Alison starting taking my dog, Camilla, on the group walks about two years ago. I initially looked…read moreinto a dog walker for Camilla when she started to resist walking in the door of her doggy daycare. Alison takes a maximum of 5 dogs on the group walks, so Camilla has plenty of attention in a less overwhelming environment. Most importantly Camilla gets to run off-leash and explore the local parks! Alison typically takes Camilla (& now my other dog, Jasper) for several hours, despite the "one hour" price. Both of my dogs are high energy, so the off-leash adventure walks are a great way to physically and mentally tire them out. Alison leaves a note stating the time she picked up and dropped off the dogs, along with a little sentence about where they went. We've bumped into Alison at the dog park several times and the dogs are always beyond excited & happy to see her!! I know Alison truly cares about all the dogs in her pack - on what I thought was Camilla's last day with the group before I moved, Alison took Camilla for the ENITRE DAY! Luckily, Alison was able to make our new location work, so Camilla & Jasper can continue their adventure walks with the group

Allie and Mark are absolutely amazing. We contacted them when we bought a 2 month old puppy, not…read morewanting to leave her alone or unattended all day. Allie and Mark are completely responsible for leash training our dog, Jaina. As she got older, they slowly transitioned her into 5 days a week with group walks. They really got to know Jainas personality and matched her with dogs accordingly. She is typically out for over 3 hours every day on fun excursions with Allie. She just turned one and we have our sanity thanks to Allie! She wares her out and keeps her fit. Thank you Mark and Allie you guys are amazing!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a caring and affordable dog walker. :)

I initially started taking my dog Obi-Wags Kenobi to the Woofer Walker daycare for some…read moresocialization since he is an "only dog." He is anxious, and there were times he did not play appropriately with smaller dogs (he had too much energy, and he does not always recognize/respond to the other dog's body language of "please give me space." They gave me great feedback on how he was doing, but his trainer and I decided that daycare for my anxious dog would not let him be "his best self." I then transitioned him to their Woofer Walker Munchkin March pack walks, which is a much better fit for him. He gets to socialize with the other dogs in the pack walk, run himself silly, and sniff everything (animate and inanimate). Obi would walk over my dead body to get to Woofer Walker Judy! He is so excited when it is Woofer Walker day that he waits by the front door, staring at it until he hears the van pull up, and then loses his mind. Judy is very patient with his excitement. They let me know which days would be the best fit for him regarding the other dogs' personalities and play styles, so he goes every Tuesday and Thursday. They also post videos of some of the highlights of the walks and post pictures - it is the highlight of our evening to watch the videos! I've downloaded some of the images since they are great shots!

My pup has been going to Woofer Walkers since 2021. I needed a daycare for him to go to since I had…read morestarted school and did not know anyone here. As I met more people, I had several people tell me about Woofer Walkers and decided to try them. My dog is always excited to go to daycare when we arrive. He loves so many of the staff and I always feel like Ali'i is in good hands. There were a couple of times when I had emergencies come up and the crew was always ready to receive Ali'i... they are always patient and understanding when things come up. One of the best places I STILL take Ali'i when I have to go away for the week or even just a day in daycare. Thanks to Bella, Justin, and crew for keeping our pups safe!

I started coming here for Agility a few years ago during the pandemic and it has been awesome. I…read morecame from another facility and initially was quite nervous we wouldn't fit in as the initial application required a demonstration video but it was fine and more to make sure we were registered for the correct Agility skill level. During the pandemic they followed Public Health Orders and always ensured safety was maintained for dogs and trainers alike. My dog and I were made to feel very welcome and it has been really great training both privately and in group classes. The group class community is very positive and encouraging - people clap for each other, cheer each other on or even trade videos of each other's runs. We also laugh at the silly things our dogs do from time to time. The instructor I've been primarily working with is Elisha and she has an incredible sense of humour, is an encouraging coach and is quick to identify errors and recommend adjustments. All the dogs love her as she often has the best treats for the most challenging obstacles. They have a good registration system in place where if you already have a spot in the class then you have a reserved space for the next series. Private lessons are popular also. Staff are very communicative and kind with questions. Bonus is that their payment system is through a business version of PayPal so I feel my credit card information is safe. I'd highly recommend this place if you're thinking about taking your dog here for training.

Julia is an excellent instructor, she explains everything really well, is very patient (with dog and handler alike), and has excellent tips and tricks.

I look forward to continued classes and fun.

I called her on a Sunday morning super early because no other place was open to board my dog for the day. I was bussing from Maple Ridge to Metrotown, and she not only met me at a sky train location (so it was easier for me to drop my dog off), but also met me at another sky train location to give me back my dog. She sent me photos of Tucker, my pup throughout the day, and when I got him back at the end of my day, he was exhausted (HOW I LIKE HIM!). To top everything off, she was super friendly, and gave me a goody bag of homemade dog biscuits to take home. Literally amazing service.

She has many certificates and was continuing education, unfortunately I moved out of their area. My dog is super chill. I have no issue recommending Dogs Crossing to anybody and do to anybody that is looking for their services
