We’re going to be reviewing the best dog training centres in Ottawa along with their pros and cons. In the next section, we’ll also be taking a look at how much certain dog training services will cost you.
Is Dog Training Costly in Ottawa?
The price you pay for an obedient and socialized dog will depend on several factors. Some charge by how large the dog is, its breed, or whether it’s semi-trained or totally undisciplined.
Some also bundle their services to accommodate training, boarding, and even grooming and socializing with other dogs. The table below reflects some of the rates that are also considered typical among dog training centres in Ottawa.
DOG TRAINING SERVICE | ESTIMATED COST |
Foundational training (leash walking, play and engagement, potty training, house manners, etc.) | $200 for one lesson |
Hybrid training (leash skills, marker training, engagement, crate training, remote collar) | $3,800 |
Board and training (4 – 6 weeks socialization training in boarding location) | $3,800 – $4,600 depending on training goals |
Virtual training lessons (reliable commands, loose leash walking, engagements, rewards, markers, off-leash) | $95 up per lesson |
These estimated costs are taken from national averages and do not include HSTs and other fees yet. Prices are subject to change depending on the dog training centre’s policies, as well.

1. Best Friends Dog Training

SERVICES | Group and private dog training classes, private online coaching, obedience, scent, agility, behavioural counselling, pet tricks, therapy dog school |
ADDRESS | 2413-7 Stevenage Dr. Ottawa, ON K1G 3W1 |
CONTACT NUMBER | 613-667-9948 [email protected] |
WEBSITE | https://bfdogtraining.ca/ |
OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Thursday 12 PM – 9.30 PM Closed on Fridays Saturdays 9.30 AM – 1 PM Sundays 10 AM – 1.30 PM |
Since 1994, Best Friends Dog Training has been proudly using motivational, rewards-based techniques for its canine clients. It also emphasizes fun for both the dog and dog owner during its training sessions.
The centre believes that reinforcing good behaviour will bring out a dog’s different abilities with confidence and with the absence of fear. Beyond training a dog, Best Friends Dog Training wants the owners to actually feel joy in the training process.
There are over a dozen dog training instructors on the roster. They represent a wide range of experience, accomplishments, backgrounds, and specializations such as agility, tracking, therapy animals, scent detection, obedience, and tactical communication.
The Tracking class has a waitlist capped at just a hundred names, so dog owners would be wise to put in their dog’s names earlier than the scheduled date.
This is the downside for the centre: that the demand for the centre’s training services typically exceeds its normal capacity. This means there’s a delay of around three months for a grouped class and five to six months for in-person training.
Pros
- Uses motivational, rewards-based techniques
- Over a dozen dog trainers on staff
- Good range of dog training specializations
- Open six days a week
Cons
- The waitlist for Tracking class is capped at 100 names
- Some delay for in-person and group class bookings
- No BBB accreditation
Customer Reviews
Each canine sport is taken to the next level
“I’ve been very impressed by the level of professionalism and dedication of all the instructors I’ve had thus far at Best Friends, these have included Catherine for dog therapy, Maggie for Rally-O, Heather for Obedience, Jill for agility, and a gentleman whose name I can’t recall for Scent Detection. I particularly like that each canine sport or activity is taken to the next level while ensuring it remains fun for the dog and the handler, working as a team. I look forward to more learning at Best Friends.” – Alexandra Wood
Helped improve confidence and overall behaviour
“Thank you to Best Friends Dog Training (especially Chantal) for an awesome experience! We enrolled our dog Gusto in Beginner’s Obedience (he’s 3, but we had only recently adopted him) and we are so pleased! Love that they teach you how to train your dog. Not only was it helpful, but it was also fun and it helped improve our Gusto’s confidence and overall behaviour.
Now on to the next level…and maybe some Flyball!” – Shaily Allison
2. The Canine School

CONTACT NUMBER | [email protected] |
WEBSITE | https://www.ottawak9school.com/ |
OPERATING HOURS | Virtual office hours: Sunday to Thursday By appointment only |
This centre believes that kindness is the most effective training method for dogs. Its certified trainers distance themselves from using pain, fear, coercion, and other negative techniques to make a dog obedient and better-behaved.
The centre offers both one-on-one private training sessions and online training so dog owners can have lessons anywhere that’s convenient for them. Training plans are also customizable according to the dog’s needs with reasonably-priced virtual sessions at $90 per hour.
And while other dog trainers only concentrate on obedience, agility, and socialization, the Ottawa Canine School spotlights an important issue with dogs: separation anxiety.
So if you’ve ever gotten home from work to find little toilet accidents, chewed-up furniture or objects, and a depressed-looking pooch waiting, you can find help here. The lessons will be taught by a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer over a four-week minimum commitment period.
Pros
- Addresses dog separation anxiety
- Offers both one-on-one and online sessions
- Uses force-free training techniques
- Reasonable hourly rates
Cons

Knowledgeable, patient, and offered helpful advice

Compassionate, flexible, and fun instructors

3. Awesome K9

SERVICES | Dog and puppy training, online training, pack walk registration, pre-puppy house consultation |
ADDRESS | 904 Winnington Ave. Ottawa Ont. K2B 5C7 |
CONTACT NUMBER | (613) 797-4454 [email protected] |
WEBSITE | https://awesomek9.com/ |
OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Friday 8 AM – 5 PM Closed on Saturdays and Sundays |
Most dog training centres in Ottawa focus on juvenile or adult dog behaviour when it should all start at puppyhood. That’s why Awesome K9 takes pride in its puppy course which is now being offered via virtual classes.
However, the centre’s operating hours are only on weekdays. This kind of doesn’t make a lot of sense if online classes are now available.
There are also downloadable resources on the website for new puppy owners to use for free. But this offer is for a limited time only so make sure to access it as quickly as you can.
Awesome K9 offers both online and virtual dog training sessions. Either one starts with an hour and a half-long assessment (for $105 plus tax) so the trainer can thoroughly gauge your dog’s temperament, exercise routine, habits, skills, and potential issues.
After that, the trainer can customize the program that will work best for your dog. The centre promises to work on any problem your dog could have by “undoing its past” and giving it a fresh start with tried and tested techniques.
Pros
- Offers online puppy training
- In-person and online sessions are available
- Customizable program per dog
- Free downloadable resources
Cons
- Resources available for a limited time only
- Open on weekdays only
- No BBB accreditation
Customer Reviews
Supports in-person sessions with online resources
“We highly recommend Nancy Lynn. She is an experienced dog trainer who makes learning fun for puppies and parents! She supports the in-person sessions with online resources, and she is available to answer questions and offer support. She leads well-organized “pack walks” with other dogs and their owners – these are a huge bonus because lots of the training happens there. Our dog Felix (almost 1-year-old) is now a joy to be with – we are all happier!” – J. Butler
In-depth, friendly training service for furry friends
“Awesome doesn’t even begin to explain how wonderful of an experience we’ve had at awesome K9 Inc! As the parents of two young stubborn Frenchies, it’s been an incredible journey from 2 boys who could barely stand to be in the same room together to a couple of loving, very well-behaved brothers! 10/10 recommend to any and all looking for a very in-depth, friendly training service for your furry friends.” – Jami Whetter

OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Sunday 8 AM – 8 PM |
Aside from dog training, Keshet Kennels also offers boarding and daycare and facilities rentals for clients. Even more importantly, it’s a rescue and adoption centre for large breed dogs who are in need of safe and loving forever homes.
It focuses on large dogs because its owners believe they are more at risk of getting surrendered by former owners. The rescue and adoption centre is its way of providing a more compassionate alternative to euthanasia and homelessness.
The centre occasionally offers microchipping and animal blood bank services by appointment, as well. Other standalone services include light grooming and per-session puppy training.
Keshet Kennels’ training sessions include recreational agility which involves obstacle courses, walking and pausing, and other activities to boost a dog’s confidence. There’s also an introduction to canine sports and play and learn classes being offered in the spring and fall seasons.
Please note that some training sessions are only done seasonally, specifically in the spring and summer months. And while we understand that the centre wants to protect pets from colder weather, it could at least offer virtual training sessions during winter, as well.

- Occasionally offers microchip and blood bank services
- Reasonable boarding and facilities rental rates
Cons
- Some training sessions are seasonal only

Customer Reviews
Took such great care
“Just a quick note to thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby. He seemed to have had an absolute blast, was happy and tired to be home … and probably bored with a lot less excitement! Your care made us leaving him much easier and thanks again for the postcard.” – Randy Reynoso
Wouldn’t hesitate to rent outdoor spaces again at Keshet
“We rented the Habitat outdoor space for our reactive dog, so she could run around and play with a doggie friend. It was perfect for what we needed and it was very secure. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent outdoor spaces again at Keshet, and will probably try Timberland next time! Absolutely perfect for reactive dogs, dogs who like their own space, or dogs that have no recall/high prey drive.” – Jen Collard

Customer Reviews
“Wonderful trainer in the greater Ottawa area-be sure to keep her details in your pocket if you have clients in need! All of my referred clients have been extremely happy with Ingrid and what she has done for them.” –Tracey Young
“Hiring Ingrid the Pet Counsellor to help us with our German shepherd-border collie as a puppy and young adult was the best decision we made for us and our beloved dog.
She trains us and our dog through the positive reinforcement approach, which has worked (and continues to work) spectacularly with our dog who has resource guarding. As a puppy, he had viciously bitten my partner and I on numerous occasions for what seemed to be nothing, was aggressive with the vet, and was unfriendly towards visitors. After hiring Ingrid, its hard to believe he is the same dog at all – he will drop & back off anything we ask him to, shares his toys with us and other dogs, is very good at the vet, and is only friendly towards visitors.
– She understands our dog better than any trainer we’ve had (and our dog loves her for that). This enables her to make it crystal clear what is going on from our dog’s perspective, and allows us to understand and act appropriately. After learning from her, we’ve become very good at reading our dog, the situation, and know how to approach and handle it confidently.
– She travels to our home and the places we go with our dog, to provide a training experience that can’t be matched by dog schools because she observes the problems in context.
– During our first two (extremely thorough) consultations, she worked hard to understand our situation. She is a very good listener and never jumps to premature conclusions or be biased by our non-professional opinions on the scenario.
– She provided us with numerous invaluable resources that were specific to our dog and situation.
– Although dog schools were helpful, we opted to go only with her because her help was much better value for our money and time compared to classes with many dogs at the same time. She’s also far more qualified and experienced than any trainers you’ll find in a dog school.
In conclusion, we highly, highly recommend her to anyone with a pet looking to change their behaviours, especially if you are a first time pet owner or even if your pet behavioural issues are minor. It is a sound investment for your pet, and possibly even more for yourself to improve your ability to train and interact with animals in the future. Thank you so much for your work, Ingrid. Don’t hesitate to give her a call!” –Victor Chan
10. Paola Hoger + Shake-a-Paw Dog Training

OPERATING HOURS | Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday & Sunday: CLOSED |
With more than 20 years of experience in the dog training industry, Paola Hoger has been providing dog training online and in-person for 1:1 training or video training courses to help you achieve the dog of your dreams.
Her years of experience with her dogs -Akitas, Siberian Huskies, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and now Border Collies, and positive reinforcement methods paved way to assisting her clients in achieving their dream dog through private training and step-by-step guidance.
A glimpse of the training she was able to provide is from being off leash, walking nicely on leash, and behaving calmly in public.
These struggles motivated her to continue learning, to seek out better training methods, and to expand her knowledge of what Ian Dunbar, Chris Bach, Susan Garrett, Terry Simons, Terry Arnold, Janet Lewis, Turid Rutgas, Carolyn Clark, Justine Davenport, Jessica Patterson, and many others have taught her.
We are impressed that she’s competed in Obedience, Agility, and Scent Work with her dogs. Competing in any sport pushes your training to new heights. It forces you out of your comfort zone and into the zone where anything is possible. Skills must improve; now that you are performing, the training will progress to new levels as you and your dogs strive for more.
Because she strongly believe that one of the most important qualities in a canine companion is that they are well-mannered and well-tempered, she also became a certified Temperament Test (TT) and Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) tester. She is also a member of the Canadian Kennel Club, the Ottawa Kennel Club, and the Ottawa Valley Border Collie Club.
Pros
- Free dog training resources
- Trainings done online and 1:1 in person
