Serving Calgary and Kelowna, Canine Minds and Manners has built a strong, 4.8-rated reputation across a team of trainers including Kirsten, Tina, Emily, and Jessie, with reviews consistently describing thoughtful, individualized programming for both puppies and adult dogs. One reviewer describes their golden retriever Ruby’s Polite Puppies Training starting at sixteen weeks old through the Kelowna location, noting that despite this not being their first puppy, the program still offered genuinely valuable, tailored guidance.
Clear, encouraging one-on-one instruction draws specific praise from at least one detailed review: an owner describes their amazing experience with private puppy training, crediting Kirsten with clear, encouraging guidance genuinely tailored to their specific dog’s needs from the very first session. Attentive behavioural assessment reinforces this individualized approach as well, with one reviewer describing Tina as professional and attentive, carefully listening to their concerns before demonstrating clear knowledge of dog behaviour throughout the session.
Combined private and group programming draws practical praise too, with one reviewer describing their Yorkie puppy’s private welcome-home session with Tina, followed by the Good Dogs Have More Fun group class led by Emily and Jessie, praising all the trainers involved across that layered, comprehensive approach. Positive, effective methodology reinforces overall satisfaction, with one reviewer describing their puppy Sully learning both important skills and proper socialization with other dogs through consistently effective, positive training methods.
The consistency across reviews, a genuinely comprehensive team offering both private and group programming across two cities, and consistently individualized, positive-methodology instruction, suggests Canine Minds and Manners has built real depth and geographic reach under its multi-trainer team.
For Doggy Deets users, Canine Minds and Manners stands out as a strong choice serving both Calgary and Kelowna, particularly valuable for owners wanting a combination of private and group training delivered through consistently positive, individualized methods.
