Your dog's behaviour IS their health.
We understand how frustrating and confusing it can be when your dog has aggression, fear or reactive behaviours. Everyone seems to have an opinion.

I know how much you love your dog.
You might not love their behaviour.
If you're struggling with dog aggression or need help with your fearful or anxious dog, I can help. With 13 years of experience in dog behaviour training, I have helped countless dog guardians create a harmonious relationship with their furry friends. My passion for dogs and their well-being drives me to provide the best solutions tailored to each dog's unique needs. Let's work together to transform your dog's behavior and strengthen the bond between you and your beloved pet.
Common behaviours I work with:
-
On-leash reactivity
-
Fearful behaviours
-
Anxiety (not separation anxiety)
-
Stranger directed aggression
-
Dog to dog reactivity
-
Resource guarding
-
Territorial aggression
Vets & vet behaviourists recommend us. Credentialed, experienced & ethical.
How is Bravo Dog Behavioural Health different from other dog trainers?
Dog "training" has its place. But, when your dog is struggling with reactive behaviours, we need to focus on their emotions and underlying issues that are causing the behaviour.
This is a specialized skill set.
More obedience training will not resolve emotional issues.
I assess every aspect of your dog's life because behaviour does not fit into a neat little box.
Treating behaviour issues includes:
-
physical and emotional health
-
species and breed specific needs
-
history; trauma and negative experiences
-
genetics & the environment
-
training approaches and dog-guardian relationship
Client Review
"Renée is absolutely amazing!! I rescued a abused and neglected stray German Shepherd who came to me with reactivity to just about everything in our environment as well as resource guarding. Renée helped us with both behavioural issues and with her help I have seen such a huge improvement in our dogs behaviour, I can walk my dog with so much less stress knowing we have tools and strategy to get her through just about every one of her triggers. My dog is so much more calm inside too and has gone months now with out any resource guarding. I could not recommend Bravo Dog enough, if you are struggling with building a relationship with your dog and/ or struggling in your training you must go see Renée!" - Georgia
Important info you need to know about behaviour change.
-
Lasting behaviour change for your dog takes time. There are NO quick fixes. If someone makes a guarantee about your dog this is a huge red flag.
-
There are limitations for change depending on the severity, complexity and nature of the behaviour.
-
Be open to working with your veterinarian or a veterinary behaviourist; we can help facilitate that!
-
Dogs are not washing machines; we aren't fixing a piece of equipment.
-
You must be willing to change YOUR behaviour for this partnership to work.
Our Veterinary Behaviourist said, “I would recommend Renée as she is one of the best in the lower mainland.”
