Training with Kindness.

Solutions that Work.

Fun & Effective Reward-Based Training in Langford, BC

Our Training Philosophy

At Authentic Canine, we take pride in committing to the highest standards in the industry with humane, reward-based methods to ensure a positive training experience. By reinforcing behaviours we like and replacing unwanted behaviours with healthy alternatives, we help dogs make desirable choices.

When faced with fear, anxiety or aggression, we work to strategically change the emotional response to create a happier, more relaxed dog. These methods are grounded by science and preserve the physical and emotional well-being of dogs. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and dignified client experience.

Dobby Blast

“Kelsey is kind and encouraging. She is patient and not pushy when a dog needs longer to understand an idea. My dog is an adult dog who came untrained, protective and nervous. He had lived in three different places in eight months after being abandoned at a high-kill shelter by his original owners. This class has exposed his intelligence and he has become obedient through kindness and playfulness – it was just what he needed.”

Finn

“We have been taking our dog Finn [to Kelsey for training] since we got him as a 10-week-old puppy and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kelsey. She truly cares about each and every dog she works with!”
