Kawartha Canine

Just wanted to say how useful your sessions were. We love the classes and we now have a dog that is a pleasure to live with. Thank you so much.

Esther is the absolute best! I am so glad I started taking my Australian Shepherd here, going to class is the highlight of his week, socially, and the training is superb. I look forward to continuing my puppy’s training and am looking forward to the fungility classes that Esther offers.

We have been taking our 9 year old GSD to Kawartha Canine for Obedience and Fungility for 9 years. Why so long, for refresher sessions, exercise and socialization. Esther has always been available to answer questions and make recommendations. Thank you for your teaching, words of wisdom and caring. Esther you are the best!!

Esther is so amazing with my blind dog #RoxyTheBorderCollie. My dog cannot see her, but would always sniff out this trainer for some cuddles. We learned a lot. Thanks

Esther is a honest, forthright, caring person. Her experience in many years of showing and training dogs and people is clearly evident. Her no nonsense approach is a proven method for her, and will make you and your dog better citizens. It is money and time well spent with Esther and Kawartha Canine.

Esther does a great job training from beginner to advanced as well as fungility etc. Esther uses her extensive knowledge to match dogs to classes with similar age and skill. She does her best to find classes that will fit with customer’s schedule, but that is not always possible. She works with everyone and their time availability as much as possible.

The early days with Spencer were hard: we’d adopted a timid rescue and we were afraid of upsetting him with expectations that were too high – but you helped us build his confidence and bond as we learned, through fungility and obedience, to trust each other. Because of you, I spent the past thirteen years with the most loyal, devoted and loving friend I could ever hope to have.
