Fantastic Fidos Dog Training
Fantastic Fidos offers dog-training services using positive reinforcement and force-free training methods. Fantastic Fidos has two locations, our original founding location in the heart of beautiful North Vancouver, BC on the traditional and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and sÉ™lÌ“ilwÉ™taɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and Victoria, BC on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lekwungen People. It is our firm belief that dog guardians deserve a positive and uplifting environment to learn alongside their dog, which is why we passionately provide education, support, and empowerment for dog parents as they embark on your training journey.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, embarrassed, or frustrated with your dog's behaviour?
Don't worry, we completely understand - we've been there ourselves! We are here to help and support both you and your dog; whether the behaviour is big, small, or you just want a refresher. We have developed individualised and personalised services that can help with the following:
-
Lunging, barking, growling on leash
-
Pulling on leash
-
Jumping up
-
Nuisance chewing or barking
-
Recall
-
House training

And other specific behaviours that you may be concerned about
All dogs are fantastic,
and we are here to help you find them!
Together we will rediscover what makes your dog special. We will create a learning environment that promotes choice, cooperation and consent; ultimately nurturing a healthy relationship between you and your dog built on trust and mutual enrichment.
