I'm Zoey Gastis and I have been providing in-home dog training and coaching since 2001.

I believe that training should be fun, involve the entire family, and that positive methods get the best results. My clients have commented that they love my relaxed, yet professional approach to solving their dog problems. I am devoted to ensuring that my clients receive the very best instruction possible.

I received training from some of the top behaviourists in North America including, Dr. Ian Dunbar, Dr. Pamela Reid, Gail Fisher, Karen London, Kathy Sdao and Sue Ailsby. I have also been featured on the Pet Network demonstrating positive, family dog friendly training techniques.

I service a 20 km radius from Hwy 7 and Hwy 48 (Markham Road).

I look forward to speaking with you about your dog's training needs.

Benefits

Training your dog at your home allows the training to be personalized according to your dog's actual needs.

Rather than being in a class where my attention is divided among many dogs and owners, one-on-one training is only about you and your dog.

Being at home means that behaviours are being learned and applied in the same place. Training your dog how to greet people at the front door, for example, is more effective when taught and reinforced in the environment where the dog is expected to perform.

And of course, sessions can be booked to suit your schedule.
