Who's A Good Dog Winnipeg

I contacted Asmara right before we got our puppy. Not ever having a dog before, it was so helpful for me to have a consistent plan established from the very beginning for myself and my family so we were all on the same page. 2 years later and now I have a very loving, leash trained, fun and adventurous dog that loves playing with my kids, their friends as well as some of her neighbourhood pals she runs around with. Thanks for everything!!

Asmara was incredible with our pup. The dedication and heart she puts in dogs is honestly astounding. I would recommend her anytime to people looking to start their training journey.

Asmara was instrumental in setting us up for success with our dog Luna! Can’t say enough good things about the care and consistency Asmara brings to her training, she really wants the best for you and your animal!

Asmara took my anxious GSD for a week.It’s hard leaving your dog with a “stranger”, but after two meet’n greets, I knew she would be in good hands.She did some training with her, introduced her to Strix, she got to run off leash in the Whiteshell (after having her recall proofed), swim in the grotto and by the end of the week was playing with Strix.I received (multiple!) daily updates and videos. I enjoyed my time away more because I knew my anxious, pandemic puppy was having a great time, running free, playing, swimming, but also getting the appropriate needed downtime.She wasn’t locked in a kennel all day, and I didn’t pay “extra” for the walks, swims, or any training Asmara decided to do with her!She slept for days afterward!!

Who’s A Good Dog? Mine is!and we would not be here if it weren’t for Asmara….My Marley is a lab ...rambunctious, high energy and loving with all her might. Asmara has taught me the skills I need to handle her using only positive reinforcement to get the results I wanted. We’re not quite there yet, but we are well on our way. I have experienced Asmara as patient, calm and highly professional. Thank you, Asmara…if it were not for you, I might have re-homed this doggie….and thanks to you, I’m in love with a well behaved Lab

Thanks Asmara for carrying Inukshuk! My dogs all doing great on it and I can't remember ever having all my dogs on the same food! The Whippets who are notoriously picky eaters have even easily changed over!

Excellent experience. When working with my cockapoo, Daisy, Asmara showed an excellent balance between a totally professional approach and a warm and caring attitude. I could tell she has worked with dogs for many years, and uses her education as well as years of experience. I found her no nonsense and tough love approach, direct and trustworthy. At the same time her storytelling and anecdotes of other dogs and other experiences, help to make me feel less alone and believe things could change and be possible. When Asmara worked with me to break Daisy of a few bad habits, I realized the few bad habits were mine to sort out. Lol. My dog was just following my lead.At the end of the day, I found I could trust her truth because she is always looking at what she feels is best for the dog, owner, and family.

Every trainer we’ve ever met has helped us. So our most basic message is if you have a dog, get a trainer. Now I want explain what Asmara has done.We have been on a learning journey: our first dog was calm, majestic, and big. Sadly he passed and after three years mourning, we decided to find a new friend who turned out to be a total opposite: scared, reactive, and needy. Like our lost family member, he was devoted, loyal, expressive, sensitive, intelligent and lovable.We just moved from a dog-friendly neighbourhood to a scary place. Fast cars, narrow passing places, unwanted encounters. We needed help! Asmara gave it. She told us what he needed, and how to give it. She taught us how to manage down his anxieties, retrain his reflexes, and do what we never managed before, which is just have fun together when there are distractions around.She provided a great curated selection of links which meant we could stop trawling the web for potential help, instead taking a recommendation we could trust as appropriate. She helped us with purchasing much-needed accessories from toys to treats to leashes.Asmara works with dogs as a way of living. She understood our dog from the get-go; she told us and showed us what he needed; we did it, and it worked.

Asmara came to our home and provided a training session for our two new puppies. My partner and I are mushing enthusiasts and have had multiple dogs for many, many years – all of them formally trained. We feel like we have good overall knowledge but wanted some refreshers and a fresh perspective. Asmara really delivered!Asmara thoughtfully assessed each puppy’s personality and unique needs to integrate successfully into the team. She also looked at the dynamic of all our dogs (8), and provided some practical advice for maintaining harmony and preventing/managing the occasional conflict.She provided us a long, comprehensive lesson full of careful observation, practical tips, and effective training techniques. Unlike some other trainers I’ve encountered over the years, she was happy to build upon work we’ve already done and our training style, and was respectful of our goals and lifestyle. A house full of 8 sled dogs may seem over-the-top for some trainers, but Asmara dove in with helpful, pragmatic recommendations. She has considerable personal experience and expertise.It was a very results-focused, enjoyable session. I will use Asmara’s services again!

Wonderful first meeting with Asmara, so informative, easy to talk to and helpful in giving us the tools we need to figure out life with a puppy, Listen more, whisper less.
