Calm Canine Academy

Through virtual sessions and consultation and follow ups on WhatsApp between sessions, Namita gave us amazing tools that majorly improved our reactive dog Sarah’s ability to cope and recover in a busy city environment. She also helped us solve reactivity in the car which is now nearly 100% resolved - and a huge impact on our quality time together. We learned so much from Namita and her expertise was instrumental to Sarah’s progress (and our’s)

Our virtual sessions with Ingrid completely changed how my dog interacts with others. Before beginning with CCA, my dog could barely walk past other dogs without lunging and attempting to bite - now, she is able to go past most dogs with no incident. This is all due to Ingrid's gentle and compassionate approach to dog training, which helped not only my dog but helped me reframe my approach to working on her issues. Can't recommend CCA enough!!

Namita and the whole team at Calm Canine have been amazing! I was so stressed with my dogs reactivity to the door, her scavenging which has caused many emergency vet trips and overall fear and anxiety. I was lost at what to do next, but after following calm canine on Instagram and loving their ethos and approach to supporting dogs and their guardians I decided to reach out to help, the best decision we have made! Namita helped us understand some of the reasons why we might be seeing this behaviour, helped us rethink our approaches to certain situations and gave us the confidence to really help us turn a corner. The detailed videos and support were amazing and the contact throughout the whole process was invaluable. We still have a little way to go but she has come on leaps and bounds in a few months, there’s hardly any reactivity to the door, the scavenging is almost at zero (some things are just to tempting not to pick up) when it does happen we can easily get back whatever she’s picked up and her confidence in new situations/environments is so much better. We used to dread walks and having to go anywhere with her because it was so stressful for her and for us but slowly this has become fun and something we all look forward to. Thank you so so much for all your help!

My partner and I took the separation anxiety course with Lauren and we had a very positive experience. Our dog Willow has struggled with SA since she was about 8 months old. We’ve worked with another trainer for 6 months and didn’t get very far. We’ve seen more progress working with Lauren over the last 12 weeks than we did in the previous 6 months of training! The program is very well designed, Lauren is a very knowledgeable and compassionate trainer and we are really happy that we made the investment. Highly recommend for anyone who’s struggling with their dog’s SA.

Melanie was absolutely wonderful in helping us work on separation anxiety and sound sensitivity with our puppy, Hudson. She helped us get to the bottom of his GI issues, advocated for us at the vet, and was always willing to listen and give advice on situations during our sessions and via text. We would absolutely recommend her and CCA as a whole to anyone working through difficult behaviors with their dog.
