Here’s what some of our previous clients have to say:
"Reason #384 that I continue to appreciate all that learn in classes:"
A planned casual visit to Vancouver ended up quite different due to a fall and the need to call 911. I credit the classes where they have to experience so many new things and moving things in helping him deal with this so well. What I’ve learned from you regarding exposure, experiences, bonding, and freedom have all gone a long ways to making this weekend and this relationship successful.
Lisa + Max
"The seminar was absolutely mind blowing for me."
It was exactly the information that I´ve been looking for, and EXACTLY what I needed to empower. Not only did you provide tons of really valuable information on dog body language and behaviour, but you cover the human aspects and our abilities to be good leaders.
I have to say that I was blown away with your amazing ability to interpret each dog´s body language and behaviours.
Michelle and Gypsy
"Both you and your dog will make lifelong friends from a Naughty Dogge seminar!"
Before attending Monique´s five day dog camp, walking my Pit Bull was a stressful experience. By the end of the camp, my dog and I enjoyed the freedom of relaxing walks in Parks and on dog trails. Monique is motivating and works with the chemistry of dogs and handlers within the group.

"My time at Dog Camp was well worth every cent"
Monique showed me how to get the confidence from my self to pass on to my Dane. Nahli learned to become more comfortable and confident with herself. I truly enjoyed it!
Lenore Baskin
"“She has much to offer all of us on many levels”"
I am attracted to how she balances firmness and black and white communication with her commitment to non-violence in training methods.

"I highly recommend her, she will help in ways you never imagined"
I have to say Monique is amazing… before the first day I could not take him for a neighbourhood walk without him lunging at people, and other dogs, four days later – I can.

"We have accomplished things that I had only dreamed of"
Our time with Monique was an amazing experience. We made such huge progress both as a handler and pet thanks to her enthusiasm, creativity, intuition and caring motivation.

When we start training dogs we all become handlers. We follow the instructions we are…The Sensory Dogs
My niche has always been working with the weirdo dogs; the Mexican street dogs, herding…The Ramifications of Honesty
Should we say what people want to hear; or say what they need to hear?
Corrections Vs My Own Comfort
I got into training dogs because I love dogs. I don't want to be mean…
