Pet Sitters in Toronto

We had an excellent experience training our puppy with Wainoni. It gave us such a thorough understanding of how to set up good habits from the very start. She is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and I highly recommend her

Wainoni is the best dog trainer out! Explaining her steps in such great detail, and with such passion it makes dog training feel more like playtime than a chore. She has helped immensely with our boxer Charlie, setting both him and us as trainers up for success. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!! Can't wait to return next year for a catch up and follow on training.

We did 2 sessions with Wainoni focusing on leash training skills for our overly excitable adolescent dog. We thoroughly enjoyed both sessions and found them to be great value. Our minds were blown by the science behind the method that Wainoni teaches (using physics instead of force) and it truly will be a game changer for us in the long term, once us humans can get it right😂. Wainoni has such a kind and calm approach to dog training, and you can see she is passionate about what she does. Thanks Wainoni for all your help and answering all of our questions. We feel more confident that we can improve our dog’s behaviour and wouldn’t hesitate to see Wainoni again in the future.

Wainoni is an extraordinary dog trainer. Both with the scientific reasons in how a canine learns & in absolute kindness in teaching us humans how to get the best out of you fur baby, without ever having to raise your voice. A much more pleasurable way for all involved. Our pup, Ollie completely trusted Wainoni & loved showing up for class! It was also a great pleasure for both me & my partner as we learned so much & in only 4 sessions & Ollie is so keen to use what she's learned. We all highly recommend Wainoni & are planning more sessions in the new year to advance our Ollies skill set. This is a great investment! Go for it!

A massive thank you to Wainoni from All 4 Paws Dog Training!! Wainoni is a wealth of knowledge with relatable information and aims to tailor the training to your own concerns about your dog. My partner and I left every session with more confidence and direction in helping our dog. Her home is welcoming and inviting; making myself, my partner and our puppy very comfortable. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to better your relationships with your dog.

From the moment we met Wainoni, it was clear she was a cut above the rest in dog training. Her approach with our dog Rosie was nothing short of magical. Wainoni possesses a beautiful nature that resonates deeply with both pets and their owners. Her techniques are a blend of kindness, understanding, and expert knowledge, which she applies with gentle precision. Rosie, who was once a bit unruly, transformed under Wainoni's guidance. It wasn't just about obedience; Wainoni nurtured Rosie's spirit, bringing out her best qualities while ensuring she followed commands with enthusiasm. Each session was a joy to watch, as Wainoni's natural affinity with dogs shone brightly. She communicated with Rosie in a way that was both respectful and effective, fostering a deep bond and mutual understanding. What sets Wainoni apart is her dedication to not just training dogs, but understanding them at a fundamental level. Her methods are tailored to each dog's personality, ensuring that they learn in the most comfortable and effective way possible. Her patience and persistence are exemplary, and her ability to instill confidence in both Rosie and us was remarkable. In summary, Wainoni's training services are exceptional. Her beautiful nature, combined with her effective and compassionate training techniques, makes her an outstanding choice for any dog owner. We couldn't be happier with Rosie's progress and the wonderful journey we've had with Wainoni. She is, without a doubt, a true gem in the world of dog training.

Highly recommend! Wainoni delivers incredible service. We have just finished 4 weeks of basic skills for life. Wainoni is passionate and has an amazing knowledge of dogs brains, behaviours and learning style. She has taught us so much - not only about the science and research, but most importantly how to apply it to real life scenarios. I am amazed at how quickly our 4 month old Dalmatian Poppy has picked up the skills Wainoni has taught us. We could see Poppy really loved working with Wainoni too, which was beautiful to see.

What a treat! Wainoni has empowered my partner and I to be the best dog trainers we can be with our new GSP pup Rex. She is patient, well informed and above all wants the best for your dog. Putting immense pressure on myself to get things 'right'...Wainoni has been so gentle in guiding and supporting me through what I have found to be a trying time. I would 100% recommend Wainoni to anyone who wants to train their dog with love and care and step away from old school thinking when it comes to training animals. Rex is a lucky boy!

Another awesome training session for my pup Jet. Drop it session. All paws training is an amazing program very professional, caring and fun covering everything you need to know step by step. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend Wainoni. My five year old shu tzu dachshund cross would not follow me on walks. But after applying the techniques I learnt I now have a happier more engaged little dog that enjoys walking and even some running. Thanks Wainoni it's made a big difference to our quality of life. Absolutely enjoyed the training sessions you made us feel relaxed and welcome.

Before enrolling our border collie puppy in the B&T program, we faced several challenges. She was easily distracted during walks, pulling on lead, lunging at traffic and barking at the vacuum. She also had separation anxiety, leading to destructive behavior when left alone. After the program, we’ve seen significant improvements. She now remains calm around the vacuum and settles quickly when left alone, reflecting her growing independence. While lead walking in various environments is still a work in progress, Georgia and her team provided us with a clear plan to continue her development confidently. Mignon also used to jump excitedly during greetings, but with the effective tips we received, she continues to learn to greet people politely. Overall, the program has made training more manageable and strengthened our bond with Mignon. We’re grateful for the positive changes and highly recommend Georgia and her team for their expertise and support. What I would caveat others is that this program will not change all the problems with your dog overnight but it does provide a good foundation for us to continue training and working with our dog.

I can't recommend KIP Lake Macquarie Dog Boarding and Training Campus enough! We sent our energetic terrier, Copper, there for 21 days when he was 8 months old, and it was the best decision we could have made for him. Before Copper went to KIP, he was a lively, curious puppy who struggled with focusing and was easily distracted by moving objects, people, and other dogs. However, after his time at KIP, the transformation was incredible. Copper is now much calmer during walks, can focus on us more, and is much better behaved when encountering other dogs. Copper clearly enjoyed his time at KIP — he even gained 0.7 kg in just 21 days, which shows that he was well-fed and had enough activity to keep him happy. From his excitement and reaction, we could tell he developed a strong bond with Amanda, and we are so grateful for the care and attention he received. Throughout our overseas trip, we received regular updates, including photos and emails from the team, which made our time away even sweeter. We are so grateful to Amanda for the ongoing support and for making the handover process smooth. Copper's progress continues, and he’s becoming an even better boy every day. We will definitely send him back in the future and highly recommend KIP Lake Macquarie to any friends or fellow dog owners who want the best care and training for their pups!

We sent my 6 month year old Cavoodle Mia to the board and train program for 3 weeks, and she has come back a total different puppy. From the initial contact regarding her stay and training was very helpful and fast in replying. All of the workers here were always so friendly and happy to help. Her Trainer Amanda, spent lots of time with Mia and changed her persistent ways. Mia has learnt so much with Amanda and was very excited to see her at the refresher/update we just had. We can’t thank Amanda enough and everyone else at Kip that helped our little Mia reach the potential she has in her. We will not be hesitating is sending Mia back there for boarding when needed and refresher training course down the track.

Couldn’t recommend Kip at Lake Macquarie more. We went with a very stubborn and anxious Rottweiler and came home with our boy knowing so many new skills and how to react when in an anxious environment. Georgia sent updates throughout and spent time teaching us how to continue using the skills in the home environment to ensure future training and longevity is possible. Ned loved his stay and everyone there and we are glad our boof was loved as much as we love him. Thank you guys, we are so appreciative of you 💖

Prior to her training at Kip Lake Macquarie our Labrador 'Daisy' was very difficult to take outside of our yard. She was very reactive to other dogs and people, pulled hard on the lead all the time and was difficult to get in and out of the car. At home she was reactive to the doorbell ringing and would bark and then jump on people when they arrived. We booked her in for training after reading so many positive Google reviews about Kip Lake Macquarie. We knew we would miss her while she was away but we thought it would be worth it to have our four legged family member learn how to navigate these situations, so that we could take her out more often without it being a stressful experience for us and for Daisy. We met Georgia when we dropped Daisy off and we immediately knew we had made the right decision. Georgia listened to our issues and what we hoped we could get out of Daisy's training. Georgia reassured us these were all common issues (especially with Labradors) and that she would put a plan in place to work through them. Throughout Daisy's stay we would get email updates with photo's and video's showing us Daisy's progress, we certainly looked forward to these emails! When it was time to pick her up we met again with Georgia who explained what she had been working on with Daisy and also what we needed to do to embed her new learnings. She then gave us a demonstration of Daisy's new behaviors, then both Jayne and I took turns leading Daisy and practicing her new commands. Walking Daisy on a loose lead was certainly a new and pleasant experience for us! Since we have brought her home we have continued to be consistent with the techniques Georgia taught Daisy and showed us. We are truly amazed at the progress that was made and also that we have been able to continue to get the same results at home. We can't recommend Kip training highly enough, the results have exceeded our expectations. We also would like to thank Georgia for her hard work, she has a true love for animals which showed in Daisy's results. Thanks again, Glen and Jayne

Great place and staff. I have 3 working border collies who are not interested in other dogs, my dogs were safe & happy. They accommodated all my requests and sent through heaps of videos & photos & they looked happy and fulfilled in them. The staff were amazing with all 3 of my dogs especially as one can be a bit suspicious of strangers. Highly recommend

I highly recommend Kip Lake Macquarie! My two staffies are always well looked after and cared for and they love Kip. Our dog's trainer was fantastic and we are so happy with our dog's progress. We also absolutely love receiving daily videos and updates! Thank you, Verity and Megan, for your exceptional work!

Hunter was a complete handfull. He jumped and pulled on lead, barked at the door and the neighbours and other dogs. KIP Macquarie did an amazing job with him as you can see from the Video on you tube. They gave me the dad a comprehensive handover and we have been practicing his training at home. Which has been challenging because he has two older brothers. Next time I think I will go in for the 3 weeks Board and Train program. Highly recommend the training provided by this amazing team of trainers.

I absolutely love Kip Lake Macquarie and wouldn't take Ninja anywhere else. The staff are extremely professional, friendly and very caring. I love receiving the morning videos which reassures me that Ninja is relaxed and enjoying his stay. What I love the most is the little outdoor area he has access to from his cat enclosure. It enables him to enjoy the outdoors but safely.

Highly recommend KIP for all your boarding or training needs. Axl the Doberman loves his girls and guys at Kip so much and he’s made such great progress. It’s important to have a safe and happy home away from home for your furry friends and I’m glad we have KIP 🐶 …
