Dog Training Langley

Progress, Not Perfection

Welcome to All Paws on Deck, your go-to destination for force-free dog training in Langley, BC. Our goal is to provide education without judgment and to help dogs and their humans live a harmonious and bonded life together. We choose dogs for various reasons, but most of all, we choose them for companionship. I want to make the experience enjoyable, for both ends of the leash! The journey won’t be perfect, but that’s the beauty of raising a dog! Having the ability to ability to communicate and build a relationship with another species is truly the most enjoyable relationship you’ll ever have! 

One-on-One Training Options

Private Training

This is our specialty!

Don’t get us wrong, nothing is more fun than a room full of puppies, but really getting to know you and your dog in a private setting is simply amazing! We are on the journey together and we are here to support you all along the way!

These sessions allow me to get to know you and your dog, learn your lifestyle, how you envision life with your dog, and all the things you want to enjoy together. This enables me to create a plan specifically for you and your dog!

We want you to leave our sessions feeling supported and empowered! Knowing that you can enjoy life with YOUR dog and that you can see the little changes that help to keep us going when we have challenges!

Group Classes

 

Our group classes offer a great space to train alongside other dogs!

We focus on small classes with a semi-private feel to make sure you get the attention that you need!

I’ve been to a group class with 12 dogs and one trainer, and it’s stressful! We cap our classes at 5 dogs and have 2 trainers on board to help you through all of our skills!

We have puppy classes and a beginner’s class so that dogs of all ages can have access to great training!

Prevention and socialization are always at the top of my list and you’ll see a lot of this carry over into our group classes!

Virtual Education

    Every dog is different and so are their needs! Not every dog is a good fit for group classes and they don’t all live in our area! 

    We added virtual classes to give more people access to our training. The fearful dogs, the reactive dogs, the over-exuberant dogs, the over-excited dogs, or simply just the dogs who live far away. 

    Training, learning, and understanding your dog is vital when it comes to raising your dog. We want to help you get there! So, no matter the dog you have, we’re here to help!

    From Marilyn and Fred

    We looked for a great trainer who focused on positive training techniques and we found All Paws on Deck and the incredibly knowledgeable Michelle. Michelle joined us in our backyard with our newly rescued one year old terrier Luna in private one hour lessons once a week for four weeks  Luna adores her! Most importantly, Michelle guided my husband and I and gave us some valuable help and information! She is terrific!  Michelle was so calm and reassuring as she showed us the basics of Come, Sit, Stay, Drop it and Leave it. She gave us a chance to practice with Luna while she watched us in action, offering gentle and helpful recommendations. Michelle continues to keep in touch via email to check on our progress. This is incredibly helpful knowing we have support as we work with Luna. We highly recommend All Paws on Deck Training! It’s a wonderful way to welcome your newest member into the family.

    From Marissa

    As the owner of a dog walking company if clients inquire about training we always refer them to Michelle at All Paws on Deck. Michelle is passionate, committed and extremely qualified at what she does. Many people can claim to be dog trainers these days but have little to no qualifications. This is not the case with Michelle as she has gone through training in both Canada and the US through reputable programs and is always furthering her education. She is not only great at working with the dogs but is fantastic at equipping the owners to feel confident they can work on things with their pup between training sessions. If you are looking for a trainer who goes above and beyond for her clients look no further!

    From Derek

    We had a wonderful experience with Michelle and All Paws on Deck Training! We are first-time puppy owners and we knew it was important to get started on the right foot but were overwhelmed and uncertain how best to do it. To the rescue came Michelle who was amazing and helped us along every step of the way!

    She truly went above and beyond in her training and all extra help and advice she gave us along the way. The training sessions themselves were fantastic and highly enjoyable, and we saw incredible progress each week in our puppy. We know we are still just beginning the journey of having a dog but with Michelle’s help we now feel like we have the tools and knowledge to shape our puppy into the best dog that we can.

    We are so glad that we went with All Paws on Deck Training and would highly recommend them! If you are looking for dog training, look no further!

    From Alissa and her dog, Charlie

    I was so frustrated before meeting Michelle. I had an amazing puppy that had so much love to give but she was anxious when I left the house. We were at the point that she was chewing the drywall and put a big hole by the front door. With Michelle’s care and patience, we were able to redirect my pup’s excitability into more appropriate ways.

    My goldendoodle was no longer a 60 lbs bulldozer knocking you over with hugs and kisses. And even after our sessions with Michelle ended, she still was always readily available to be there when we needed her, whether it be a phone call or home visit. Michelle goes above and beyond for her clients and you can tell that she truly loves what she does.

    Michelle is the most caring and loving dog trainer. I would recommend her over and over again! She was soft spoken, attentive and so patient. If you’re looking for a trainer don’t hesitate to use her, you won’t regret it!

    I absolutely loved having Michelle help me with Orzo. She was so good at reading his quirky personality, his eagerness to play and please, and giving me the best tips on how to manage his excitement for life. I wanted a trainer that would help me calm my own emotions when dealing with Orzo’s overzealous response to life. She gave me the tools to succeed. Knowing what my escape plan is, and helping him stay calm in new situations. It’s made the last 7 months with my rescue so much calmer. I credit Michelle for a lot of that.

    My Aussie was nervous around other dogs and going into (pet friendly) stores. With the help of the All Paws On Deck crew, he now greets dogs with excitement and has started walking into stores with confidence! They have been helpful with not only my dog, but in building my confidence as his leader. I can’t thank them enough for their help with me and my pup ❤️
