Testimonials

"I enrolled my new pup, Lyla, in Valley Canine's Reliable Recall Course this spring. Lyla came to me about a year ago when she was 6 months old.

She was a very undisciplined dog. I have struggled with her recall prior to taking the course. She would take off on our walks, for no obvious reason, and not come when called.

It would take hours to get her to come home at times. With Victoria's excellent direction and considerable patience I now have a dog that comes every time I call her.

Outside of the course work with Victoria we followed her advice and did our homework faithfully. I am now able to recall Lyla even in the presence of major distractions such as deer, other dogs, cars & people.

Thank you Victoria & Valley Canine. We are looking forward to enrolling in the Canine Club to further Lyla's, and my, education."

Liz and Lyla

"Kili and I have been doing well, and he is still doing good with his recall.

The course was definitely very beneficial, and I feel more confident taking him out into the wilderness with the upcoming hiking season."

Craig and Kili

"Victoria has a natural insight and ability to help dogs and their owners. She is incredibly patient, supportive and knowledgeable, we desire to keep working with her because we have seen the results and want even more for our dog Callum. I can never thank Victoria enough"

Cassidy Van Burren

"Thank you so much Victoria at Valley Canine training! We completed the reliable recall program it gave me the peace of mind and confidence that my young dog will return every time when called. It was also a great bonding experience with my dog, Now we can go for hikes and adventures off leash with no headache of worrying. Our dog is now also in the hiking group with Lexie and she LOVES it she gets to socialize with other doggie friends and Lexie keeps up with Ruby’s training. THANK YOU VICTORIA"

Katie and Ruby

"We just completed the reliable recall with e collar training with Victoria! We have a beagle who follows her nose and we were having an awful time with recall (2/10 if she was interested in something other than us!). Victoria’s method of communication with the e collar has worked incredibly well for is. Within 3 weeks, our beagle can now run off leash in the forest on hikes (our goal) with us and her recall is 10/10 with a wagging tail! We can tell our pup is really excited about this new freedom and our anxiety of letting her off leash has completely evaporated! Better quality of life for all of us!! We look forward to more training opportunities with Victoria!"

Robyn and Sadie

"We did the Reliable Recall program with our pup Elliot and it was super great! Before the training Elliot would not listen off leash at all, he would never come when called and calling him back would always turn into a stand off. Since the program he listens perfectly, which is not only great for us, but for him as well as he has way more freedom. Victoria was also a super great instructor and fun to work with!"

Taylor, Rowan and Elliot

"We did the reliable recall program and it was life-changing. Before the program our dog Remmy would never come when called, she could not be off-leash in our yard, and she would go to our neighbor's constantly. After the program, Remmy now has perfect recall, better manners, and she can be off-leash everywhere we go.

Hanna and Remy

"Our dog Zuri has a very strong prey drive. We were having a lot of trouble getting her to come when called. We are so thankful so to have found Victoria and Valley Canine Training. We took the Reliable Recall Program and are happy to say that we can comfortably walk and hike now with Zuri and be confident that she will return to us when asked to. I would not hesitate to recommend Valley Canine Training. Victoria is approachable, reliable and a highly skilled trainer!"

Domenic and Zuri

E-Collars Explained

When discussing e-collars, you might naturally associate them with "shock collars," or perhaps you're unfamiliar with them and wish to learn more. The idea of using an e-collar on your dog might make you feel uneasy, uncertain about its safe and humane application.

Allow me to provide clarifications about the e-collars and training methods we utilize in our Reliable Recall Course. Rest assured that the e-collars we use are NOT shock collars; they are stimulus collars, offering a different sensation that DOES NOT shock your dog.

These stimulus e-collars have a similar feeling to a tens machine or a Dr. Ho machine, often used in physiotherapy. To help you better understand, they produce a tingling tapping sensation. During our classes, I ensure that you feel the e-collar on your hand beforehand so that you comprehend what your dog will experience. This way, you can feel confident in using this training tool and understand that it is not a shock-based approach.

To ensure comfort for your dog, we determine their working level, which is the lowest number they can feel, akin to a gentle tap on the shoulder for attention, rather than a shock or correction. Our approach to e-collar training is to use it as a communication tool, not a corrective one. Outdated methods of correcting dogs to make them listen or avoid correction are not part of our strategy. Instead, we combine the e-collar as a communication tool with up-to-date training methods.

Throughout the course, we guide your dog through 4 distinct phases, teaching them how to respond to the e-collar in a positive and understanding manner. Our Reliable Recall training system has been refined, breaking it into manageable steps to facilitate your dog's learning and comprehension of the e-collar's significance. With this approach, we have successfully achieved perfect recall in over 285 dogs in the past 7 years.

Should you have any further inquiries about the e-collars we employ, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at any time. We are here to address any concerns and ensure a rewarding training experience for you and your beloved canine companion.
