I’m passionate about helping dog owners build strong, lasting relationships with their pups through effective, positive training and personalized support.
In-Person Group Dog Training: Small, hands-on group classes (up to 3 dogs) in Pitt Meadows and Langley, perfect for puppies, teens, and adult dogs. These classes focus on essential skills like manners and obedience in a supportive environment.

My approach is practical, positive, and focused on real-life results. Whether you’re solving behavior challenges, training a new puppy, or refining your dog’s manners, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Dog Trainer Background
Kirsten Elizabeth
As a dedicated dog mom and breed enthusiast, I’m passionate about helping fellow dog parents enjoy the best possible lives with their furry companions. With a blend of professional education and hands-on experience in dog care, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every training session.
You’ll often find me hiking the beautiful trails of Ridge Meadows with my dogs, doing deep dives into dog breeds and breeders, or exploring the exciting world of dog sports. My goal is to share my expertise and love for dogs with owners like you, so you can build a stronger, happier bond with your pup!
