Doggie Basics

Doggie Basics is Mocha's favourite place to go, when I need to go into the office or when I go on vacation. I know Julio and his team will take good care of him and he is well socialized with other dogs. The group lessons are also better than the other one I went to for the same money. Location is very close to my house and has a huge backyard for the dogs is a something not every place will have.

Julio and Dee are wonderful and caring dog trainers. Took group lessons for my puppy and am very satisfied with the results (although slow). Highly recommended!

Such a pleasure to be part of the Doggie Basics group classes. I have a high energy dog that I really need help with. Julio’s style of teaching and no judgment approach made me comfortable to ask questions, seek guidance outside of class and gain an understanding of my dogs behaviour and breed requirements. Starting off simple and building my skill level. These concepts are easily applied and used to teach new skills or refine old skills. I am more confident in managing my dog and my dog is receiving clear and consistent direction from me which makes her more balanced. I am feel empowered! Thank you Julio)

Awesome dog trainer. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend for training and boarding.

Incredible training regime by Julio to help my dog, Taavi, become one who can begin to trust again. Taavi was a Jindo-rescue from Korea, terrified and stuck indoors for the past 4 months. I was starting to lose hope until I reached out to Doggie Basics & their 1: 1 private training services. I was in disbelief when Julio initially told me he's able to bring Taavi out for a walk in 2 weeks- and to my surprise, he did it! In just a few sessions, Taavi had transformed significantly. Seeing Taavi have another chance of life from years of abuse prior to his rescue, I cannot be more happier

Julio had been incredibly patient, communicative, informative. He works and cares with dogs with a great heart full of compassion. I highly recommend anyone who have a fearful and anxious dog to reach out. Doggie Basics has provided the push that Taavi needed to begin breaking the bubble of fear.
