"The kids are really enjoying this!"
I cannot say enough good things about Fido & Fox Training Services - Derrick and Kara are incredible! From the very first session, it was clear that they truly understand dogs and have a natural ability to connect with them. They take the time to exapln training techniques in a way that is easy to understand and apply. My dog Winnie has made incredible progress, and our bond hhas frown even stronger. Highly recommend Fido and Fox if you are looking for a knowledgeable, kind, professional and effective dog trainer!

The e-collar training was excellent. I learned a great deal from the instructor; the one on one instruction was extremely helpful. Thanks Derrick for the incredible workshop.

"We have had the opportunity to participate and benefit from the vast research based theory and hands on training from Fox K9... Sessions are custom designed and range from "backwards by design" as well as a "built in progression" models to address the desired behaviours and outcomes."

"It was you that helped us see the reward in training"
We have used K9 Fido and Fox Canine Training multiple times over the last year, including a recent beginner group session. The tools we have gained from both the group and one-on-one sessions have been invaluable! Our biggest take aways have been learning how to best communicate with our dogs so that we can teach them numerous tricks and skills, rather than just what we had initially hired him to work with us on.

Class was exactly as described. E-collars were described and introduction to ecollars and their use was shared. Derrick is knowledgeable and professional.

I take a lot of dog training classes, do dogsports, and pride myself on being kind to my dogs.Because I have seen so many people use e-collars aggressively at very high levels of stimulation on confused dogs who did not know what was expected, I had a very negative opinion about e-collars. There was zero chance that I would use an e-collar on my dogs that way.However, I attended Derrick's e-collar seminar and saw how he used the e-collar to provide extremely subtle communication between dog and owner. (He used level 2 or 4 of a maximum 100 to encourage the dog to perform a behaviour that the dog already had been trained on and understood. Think feather touch, rather than electricity bolt. Think polishing behaviours, rather than hammering confusion.) Derrick also explained that using an aggressive high-stimulation training method was unfair and unethical to dogs. (However, he also said that when there is a chance of self-harm, there is a place to use aversive tools - ie. a dog who chases cars, or attacks rattle snakes.)As I continuously learning more and more about dog training and behaviour, I am very glad that I attended Derrick's seminar.
