HOW OUR JOURNEY BEGAN

Siana and Ben met in Whistler while working in a kennel with 170 working dogs- mostly rescue dogs from all over Canada and the United States. Working with dogs has always been a passion for the both of us. For Ben, working with dogs has been a full time career in Canada for many years already. Siana began her journey with her first gig as a dog walker at the age of 12, a bunch of personal rescue dogs, as well as working with rescue and foster dogs in Indonesia, before finally making a step and turning her passion into her full time career.

Supporting people in their desire to give their dogs the best life possible soon became our mission. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a happy, relaxed, and well balanced dog, that previously has been struggling. As well as a family that can finally live in harmony and enjoy all the beautiful moments living with a dog has to offer.

Over the years, we have met many people that needed very specific support, but could not find a trainer that was able to help them find a solution that would solve their issues and help their dog become better. While many approaches can provide short term relief in one area or the other, many are often mere band aids, and do not address the root causes of the issues.

Whatever support you and your dog need, get in touch with us to see how we can help. Working with dogs is our calling and our whole live evolves around dogs. We are here to support you and your dog to live your best life.

Ben.

Ben is a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to dogs. He absorbs any information about dogs like a sponge, can watch documentaries and videos about dogs for hours, and loves sharing this vast pool of knowledge around dog training, dog behaviour, dog breeds and one of his favourite topics: RAW diet. Ben has a passion for supporting rescue and shelter dogs, and finding not just a home for them, but finding just the perfect match for them. In his time working in the kennel, he helped many dogs and humans find their match made in heaven. Ben has worked with dogs full time for many years and takes a special liking to the dogs in the pack, that have a hard time calming down, the rowdys, the misfits, and the shy ones. In the words of a dear friend: “It’s almost like Ben doesn’t just understand dogs, he almost seems to be one of them.”

Ben specializes in pack behaviour, as well as play mechanics

He actively trains his Dutch Shepherd “Critter” in Protection Sports (PSA) and personal protection, as well as actively decoys for protection sports and personal protection dogs

Siana.

Siana’s passion is helping dogs to be healthy, emotionally and physically, so they can fully enjoy working with their humans. Providing actual solutions for owners and their dogs has taken a special place in Siana’s heart and she applies her knowledge and experience in training dogs in a well balanced mixture of structure, patience, and understanding for what they are going through. She understands from personal experience the frustration of having to deal with a tough training case, and hearing from trainers over and over again, that she should just give up on the dog, that the dog can’t be rehabilitated. 20 years ago, she rescued her first shelter dog, a 2 year old reactive/aggressive Rottweiler x Beauceron, and it took her over two years to find help and get her dog to a place she could live safely, happy, and in peace. This ignited a fire in her, to never be the person that gives up on a dog, or on the owner - for as long as they are willing to put in the work.

Today, Siana specializes in performance dog training, as well as relationship building and behaviour modification. Her specialties are supporting dogs and humans to understand and apply emotional regulation techniques, bringing the joy back into working with your dog, and helping women be more confident in guiding powerful dogs

Siana actively trains in Search and Rescue and competes in Agility with her Belgian Malinois “Chip”, as well as in Protection Sports (PSA) with her Working Line German Shepherd “Anarchy”

Meet our Canine Team

We as humans/trainers, and our company, wouldn’t be the same without our (helper) dogs. As a matter of fact, our company was named after our two OG’s, Kayloo and Omen (KO K9)

Sadly Kayloo and Omen have crossed the bridge early 2024 due to old age and age related health issues. Not a day goes by that we are not hurting and missing them. Over the years they have helped us with countless dogs, supporting their reactivity training, being emotional support dogs to very nervous and fearful dogs, as well as being teacher dogs in socialisation sessions. No dog will be able to replace these two, our very own two-in-a-million dogs

Today, our young Canine Team consists of:

Chip (Belgian Malinois)
Nox (GSD x Malamute)
Anarchy (Working Line GSD)
Critter (Dutch Shepherd)
