LIVE Unleashed

If you have a dog, no matter what age or size or breed, Renee is the person to go to. We went to her with our German shepherd puppy and she not only trained Bubbles, but taught us how to create and maintain a strong bond with our dog. Renee is patient, very compassionate and extremely dedicated to her work. Her knowledge in handling dogs is unmatched. She would give us undivided attention for the 1 hour every week that we spent with her. She would train our dog and observe while we followed what she had just taught us. She would gently correct us or our dog if we were making a mistake. She would always calm us down and remind us that dog training should be fun for us as well as the dog and that training is not punishment. She taught us that training gives structure to the dog and soon enough we realized how true that was and how much easier our lives had become with a trained dog. She would give us homework every week, which we dedicatedly did and would even send her videos. Renee took the time to watch the videos and gave us constant feedback, and listened to us every week about our homework experience and our progress. She always wanted to put our and our dog's comfort first.She not only made our dog more confident but also made us more confident in handling our dog. There aren't enough words to say how much I am glad that we did this training with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! She's the best in the business.

I rescued my Pitbull at the end of 2020 and have had an extremely challenging journey dealing with his traumatic past and extreme separation anxiety. I had met with many trainers over the course of my first year with Drako and I was turned away with bad advice or “your dog is a lost cause.” I struggled with the commitment I made and questioned my ability as an owner and leader because I couldn’t see any progress with my dog over the first year.I met Renee and she was confident that she could help me no questions asked. I agreed to put in 110% with her and Drako if she could help me get him to where he needs to be - happy and healthy.We have been working together for almost 2 months now and the results are unbelievable. The progress Drako has made is outstanding and it is a reflection of a good trainer with good knowledge and understanding of canine behaviour.I am overly grateful for the friendship and guidance I have received and look forward to continuing my work with Renee on Drako’s journey.

We are in a very unique situation as our dog Toffee came to us with many challenges and a strong distrust of humans. We tried hard to find someone who could board Toffee but it felt impossible despite many attempts. By some form of a miracle we came across LIVE Unleashed and Renee who gave us hope. Renee worked with Toffee over a number of weeks to build trust and confidence and give us the right tools and knowledge to ensure he would succeed. Toffee is a new member of the LIVE Unleashed family and we are so grateful for the support we have received.
