What Clients Are Saying
4 weeks ago, taking our two very reactive German Shepherds anywhere was an absolute nightmare. We had absolutely no control while walking them. They would pull the entire time and bark and lunge if another dog came within 50 meters of us. It was not fun walking them at all. 4 weeks later, we're walking loose leash in a Petsmart and Home Depot, something we thought would never happen. We look forward to walking them and aren't worried about seeing other dogs anymore. The progress we've made in the last 4 weeks completely exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier.
We can't thank you enough Taylor!

Best money spent!!! Mango Dogs staff are so knowledgeable regarding dog behaviour. Training is amazing. They equip you, as a dog owner with so much understanding of why your dog is having issues and our personal trainer Justine has filled us with so much confidence as she trains us(lol).
It is so comforting to see Hollie become the beautiful dog that Justine told us she could be. Group training is great on Saturdays!! It gave us the confidence to be around a lot of dogs at one time. It’s awesome to have a place to go where other dog owners have the same mindset of bringing out the best in our dogs.
No judgement in group class if your dog is struggling. I would recommend Mango Dogs to anyone who is looking to get the best out of their dog.

The Dog Who Started Mango Dogs
Twenty two years ago I got my first dog Phoenix. He was a shelter dog and I had no idea what I was doing. I took him to training (purely positive techniques) and he did not do well. After months of training, I was still dealing with terrible leash-pulling issues and could not let him off leash because his life revolved around trying to kill animals. Disillusioned, I decided to dive head first into the newly emerging Balanced Dog Training world so that I could fix my dog's issues, and start to enjoy our life together. After going to dog training school and traveling the world seeking the best and brightest, I decided to become a dog trainer who focuses on behavioral issues, reactivity, and aggression. All these years later I'm still devoting my life to helping dog owners who are struggling. I know your pain, in fact, my back is still jacked up from those early years, but know that I can help. Join the thousands of Nova Scotian dog owners who have had their dog's behavior transformed because of Mango Dogs.

Specializing in behavioural issues like aggression, reactivity, and resource guarding, I've successfully helped countless clients achieve lasting results. I'm straight to the point and won't waste your time with methods that don't make a real difference. At the same time, I’m as gentle as possible whenever I can be. If you're reading this, you've probably tried a variety of positive-only methods and are still facing challenges. Let's work together to harness your dog's inner drive to its fullest potential, while holding them accountable for any outbursts, dangerous, or unruly behaviour.
Each training program is tailored to your dog's unique needs, ensuring long-lasting results without a one-size-fits-all approach. With vast experience across breeds, I've mastered off-leash reliability, even with challenging dogs.
My goal is simple: to restore trust in your canine companion in a reasonable timeframe. With a track record of success, I've rehabilitated countless reactive and aggressive dogs, setting them on the path to harmony.
Whether it's addressing leash reactivity, resource guarding, or other behavioral challenges, we're here to help. No challenge is too great; we've faced and conquered them all.
The Mango Dogs Balanced Approach
As balanced trainers, we are able to take the great aspects from each style of training and utilize it where needed.
We use food, treats, praise, toys to encourage our dogs and our clients dogs to do the things that we want them to do. This type of motivation is particularly important when training fearful dogs and dogs with anxiety.
- Positive methods are easy and fun for anyone to implement
- Positive methods keep the dog being trained happy and engaged
Where things fall apart...
- Positive based methods are un-reliable when the distraction is very high
- Many of our clients do not want to have to carry around treats for the rest of their dogs life
Positive only training works reasonably well... until it doesn't
Our training works in the real world. At your front door. On your walks, at the park, anywhere!
Using Corrections And E-collars
But all is not lost. We can also use corrections to keep your dog accountable and make them more reliable. Corrective techniques are incredible when looking to STOP bad behaviours.
We are e-collar specialists, no one in Nova Scotia has trained 1/10th of the dogs that we have with ecollars, we can streamline the process for you to ensure that you are using the tool in a humane way.
We use food, toys praise wherever we can, and correction whenever we must.
E-collar training is an essential part of training hard to train dogs off leash, we routinely train beagles, huskies, even wolf hybrids off leash. It's versatile because it can be used to stop many bad behaviours, and can be used while on leash, off leash, in the house, in the yard, or at the park.
For the walk doctor program we typically use a prong collars for corrections.
The e-collars we use have 3 modes. Tone, Vibration, and Pulse Correction. The pulse correction feels like a Tens Unit that chiropractors and physiotherapy clinics use as a muscle stimulator. This pulse correction is adjustable from 1-100 levels which makes it a versatile tool that can be used on dogs of all sensitivity levels.
