Dogs On A Mission

You will not find a more committed, loving dog owner and trainer, than Alex. Every dog that comes, enjoys the experience and stays at Dog on a Mission, always leaves with big smiles. Would not hesitate to give Alex 5 star review.

I believe I have found the dog whisperer Alex at Dogs on a Mission. My dog has a lot of anxiety and behavioural issues so I turned to Alex for her expertise. Alex has a wonderful 5 acre property which is maintained very well and her dogs are so happy and are certainly very well cared for. Alex goes beyond what is expected of a dog trainer. Alex is very knowledgeable about all aspects of dog training and care. Alex loves all of her dogs and treats them like her own. Alex has even came to the vet with me to speak on my behalf to get my dog on his way to overcoming his anxiety and behavioural issues. My dog absolutely adores Alex and feels safe with her. Without Alex, I truly do not know what I would do.

Dogs On A Mission is our dog's home away from home. Our dog, who dislikes change and is suspicious of new environments and people, immediately took a liking to Alex and her property. Alex quickly established a rapport with our dog with her firm but gentle way with him. We rest easy while we are away, knowing our pup is being well cared for and that he loves the attention he receives from Alex. I can't recommend Dogs On A Mission highly enough!

Meeting Alex at Dogs on a Mission is the best thing that's ever happened to our dog Sammy. Sammy is a very shy and nervous dog in city. Alex helped us come up with a training strategy to help Sammy, including boarding, daycare, and a plan at home to help Sammy deal with the stress. We can see how Alex truly cares about Sammy's wellbeing, and that translates to his improvement and happiness. Sammy is truly happy at Dogs on a Mission.We can't wait to try out their board & train program soon.

I cannot give enough praise to this business. We have so much trust and faithIn Alex Young the owner and operator.She has a huge heart and a great deal of knowledge in regards to not only the health, safety and emotional well being ofanimals that it makes it a relief to know our dog Peanut is getting much needed emotional care, training and love when he is here. Peanut came to us with a many issues as he is a rescue dog who was not treated well in his past. He is like a new dog thanks to Alex.

I can’t say enough..... Alex provides top notch individualized care for each and every dog. Her understanding of dogs and their behaviour ensures that all dogs settle in and are soon at home. She spends quality time with each dog making sure they are getting the best experience. My dog knows whenever we drive by her place and whines with disappointment if we don’t stop. Highly recommend!

Alex is by far one of the best dog trainers I have come across. Her love of dogs is clear from the first time you meet her. She has helped me with various rescue dogs I've fostered and volunteered her time with the rescue group I was working with. Alex is a genuine person who puts the needs of the dogs first. She is honest and will work with you to make sure you and your dog have the best possible connection. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. My dogs LOVE going to her place!

Alex is an incredible lady, you couldn’t find a better lady to take care of your four legged best friends. She’s very knowledgeable and caring, she goes to great length to ensure our buddies are in the best care possible. She understands their needs and behaviours, it’s second nature to her. I’m very grateful for meeting Alex.

We boarded our boy, a large GSD, with Alex. He doesn’t trust many people and it was great to see him walk off with Alex and not look back. He took to her the first time and this time was no different.We were gone about 10 days and she communicated with us providing updates. We will definitely leave our boy with Alex again, and I would recommend her hands down.

We never book a vacation without checking on Alex's availability first. Our rescue yorkiepoodle LOVES the farm dog life and runs inside without looking back whenever we leave her there (once or twice a year). This is a dog that puts breaks on at the door when we try to bring her to a store/daycare/someone's house.
