Sandy Middleton, ​BA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP
Dog training and behaviour consulting in Powell River, BC

Grounded in science. Effective, humane, and delivered with
gentleness and respect.  
Philosophy
Dogs learn best when they feel safe. Then they can make good choices and participate in their own learning and care. Force-free, progressive methods set everyone up for success. 
Services
I offer puppy training, manners and life skills for adolescent and adult dogs, and help with  behavioural issues, including reactivity and aggression.

​​Welcome!
I'm Sandy and I am a certified professional dog trainer. I also have many years of experience in adult education, teaching and working with adults in community programs. I am a teacher at heart!

​I love learning (especially about dogs!) and keep my knowledge and skills up-to-date through continuing education with respected leaders in the industry. View my credentials, professional memberships, and examples of my recent continuing education here.
​​
I live north of town at the edge of the forest with my dogs Sophie and TT - my best friends and greatest teachers. I am inspired by this quote from the ancient philosopher, Rumi:  Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.
