"We have a giant breed puppy that has been a handful since the day he was brought home, because of his size it was absolutely necessary to get him trained ASAP. Sean provided one on one training that helped us so much, and now our family can live without being terrorized by our giant pup. The training was seriously life changing!!!!

After experiencing theft on our property, I needed to add security and chose a large breed South African Boerboel. Boerboel's are a dominant breed and I wanted to ensure we started off training Burley ASAP. We were highly recommended ECC by a friend and glad we did. Sean's knowledge and passion for dog training is truly remarkable. When a scenario popped up, Sean assisted at a momebts notice (which you dont see everyday) Sean has helped mold Burley into the dog he is today and we are thankful for the strong relationship we now share with him because of his expertise.

What an AWESOME experience working with Elgin County Canine. I reached out to them and they got back to me so quickly. They were so accommodating to my schedule to get some training sessions. I learned so much about how to train my dog in a way that works for him. We were able to tailor a training plan that not only worked for my dog but worked for me. He made sure I was set up for success by working out training plans that can be implemented in real life! My dog caught on so fast and has made incredible strides. We are so grateful for Elgin County Canine!

I am so grateful that I reached out to Elgin County Canine to help with my anxiety ridden pooch. Sean not only helped train my dog's behaviours, but he also helped me better understand how to read my dog's behaviours...and THAT has been the real game changer. I've noticed such a difference after our sessions.

We owe everything to Elgin County Canine! We had a very aggressive, alpha frenchie and a couple months out from us welcoming our first baby. We were terrified that she would be aggressive with the baby. With the help of Sean's expertise and hard work, she has turned into the most loving dog and is obsessed with our kids. You could see as time went on how much our girl loved Sean after she started very aggressive with him. Highly recommend the guys at Elgin County Canine.
