Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Hi! I'm Sydney and I'm certified in Canine Studies from the North West School of Canine Studies. I've been training for about 5 years after working in a doggy daycare. My personal dog struggles with reactivity and that's what drove me passion for training. I love what I do and am so thankful to help families and their pets.

Certifications:

Certified in Canine Studies

Dog training services include

  • Reactive dog training
  • In home training
  • Puppy training

More info about Sydney Rain's dog training:

I work part time in doggy daycare and train primarily with fear based reactivity. I'll cover basic manners or puppy socialization/training. I offer group classes several times throughout the year. I also petsit and do basic walks!

Behavioral issue focus:

Mostly fear based reactivity or other fear based issues. I'll also take on frustration reactivity cases to work on impulse control and manners.

Dog training methods:

We do an initial consult where I get to know the pup, then depending on the issues we either set up a set amount of sessions or we go on a weekly basis. I come up with a training plan and send them all relevant handouts I've made. I do only positive reinforcement training and love using pattern games to make training fun!

Why I became a dog trainer:

My personal dog, Mya, had fear based reactivity and I wanted to help her so I shadowed my (then) boss who was a trainer at the doggy daycare I worked at.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Watching the dogs progress and both the dogs and their owners grow in confidence!

My #1 dog training tip:

Make it fun and adjust your expectations based on the dog you have in front of you, not the dog you imagined/want to have!
