Dog Trainers in Newmarket

Trainers and enrichment activities

Trainers and enrichment activities

A well-trained dog is a happy dog, and a tired dog is a happy dog.  As with Veterinary clinics, we are lucky to have some great training and enrichment facilities in the area. Just remember, when looking for a trainer, not all are created equal or have the same specialties. This short blog post may help.

In Newmarket, we have Unified K9 Behaviour, which offers a full spectrum of training, behaviour and enrichment programs. We personally use them for our team training, and our pup has also enjoyed and thrived in their puppy class, advanced training, hoopers, trick class, and other sports.     

Drop the Leash also has similar training and enrichment activities that people love. Other trainers in town are Alpha Paws, Kloud9Board and Train, Bark Busters, Alpha Paws, 

I recommend you read this blog post before choosing a trainer for your pup to ensure you are making the best choice for them.

What clients in Newmarket are saying about our dog walking and pet sitting

I was a bit unsure at first about having someone I didn’t personally know take care of my dog as he needs medications including an injection but decided to give YPPS a try after a recommendation. Lindsay took amazing care of my dog Charlie! Everyone is very detail oriented and followed instructions to a T! Definitely recommend, they are all so sweet and lovely with your fur baby.

My husband and I were fortunate to have found this service. I was apprehensive at first, as this was the first time leaving our dogs with someone unfamiliar. Our caregiver was very patient and understanding with the girls. They were looked after very well and I felt very comfortable with having them in our home. Every effort was made to keep them comfortable and give me peace of mind.
Thank you once again and we would not hesitate to use your service again

For almost two years, the York Pro team has taken great care of our dog, Sundae.
Lorrie and Morag gave us great peace of mind with the level of detail in their onboarding process.
Sundae developed such a great bond with her walkers, Krista and Meghan, and was always thrilled when they’d arrive to take her out.
100% recommend!
