ABOUT US
Multi Award winning dog training in the comfort of your home
Behavior Modification & custom programs for nervous /reactive or aggressive dogs
You’ve done the “basic training” & group classes, they didn’t work. Your vet wants to put them on medication to “manage” rather than addressing the underlying root cause of the issue… there’s always a “why”. Custom designed programs to help you and your dog work through these tough issues. We focus on safety, communication and setting realistic expectations and goals for your dog

WANT TO ACHIEVE THIS?
At Baja Canine School, we use a variety of tools for training which include slip leads, toy/food rewards, prong collar, and e-collars. We believe that any tool when used correctly by a trained person is invaluable. Our methods of training are balanced, meaning we correct and disagree with the negative behaviours and praise and agree with the good behaviours. If you are considering training with our head trainer/owner Janet, we ask that you are comfortable/ open minded with all tools that we use. We are here to help with any questions you may have regarding our techniques. We have had huge success with our methods. And we want to empower every dog owner out there to join us with your own success story.
HERE'S HOW WE TRAIN YOU AND YOUR DOG
Here at Baja Canine School we offer balanced, motivational “positive-first” training that goes far beyond the 101 basics.

We’ll help you fully understand how your dog thinks and what motivates them to work. We focus on real world training that will help empower ALL members of your family to get the same results. If you are struggling getting control of your dog in any situation, we can help!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Janet gave us a better quality of life with our dogs. It wasn't so much about training our dog but training us to better understand our dog. We talk too much, think too much and react too much. She gave us tools to deal with anything new that pops up and helped us correct those undesirable behaviors.
Janet isn't touchy feely, but she knows her stuff. She's not there to hold your hand, but will empower you to make the best decisions in the worst times. Having read through all of the reviews, I think that's where most people have struggled. She is amazing with reactive dogs and it shows in her track record. I'm happy to have the tools to bring my dog out in public again and have people over to my house without being nervous.
I'm thankful for Waterdogs. ❤️🐾
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
We just wanted to share our experience we had training with Janet at WaterdogsK9. We enrolled in private training for our new puppy, Arrow, a black Labrador Retriever. All we can say is that it was the best decision we’ve made to date for him. The knowledge, advice, and encouragement we received from Janet was invaluable. She was simply a game-changer for us. There were so many “a-ha” lightbulb moments at each session, it was truly amazing to see our puppy transform right in front of our eyes with Janet there to guide us. There are so many conflicting methods and information online and with other trainers, so it can be overwhelming, but with Janet, she was spot-on every time. In our opinion, one hour in a room with her is equivalent to a several weeks of group training elsewhere, and even then, it doesn't compare. Thank you, Janet for helping us build a solid foundation for Arrow. He still has so much to learn, but he is where he is because of you. You are simply the best!
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
My beautiful Kali is a wonderful 7 year old dog, but she's shown aggression to other dogs. Then last fall she chased a squirrel in the woods while we were walking and travelled several miles before someone found her and called the phone number on her tag. I knew I had to do something. After several months of training under Janet's tutelage I now have a dog who recalls immediately and who I can absolutely control around other dogs. I can't thank Waterdogs enough and would recommend Janet in a heartbeat. She's made my life with Kali really enjoyable whether we're at home or we're out.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I cannot say enough about Janet and her K9 Waterdogs team! We rescued a 7ish year old GSD about a year ago now - who had a lot of old hard to change habits. With the help of Janet we are better educated and equipped to help him so he can continue to enjoy his life more as a calm, well mannered, dork of all dorks.
We also feel so much comfort knowing that when boarding him at “dog camp” he is in their safe trustworthy care - and I know he has the best time there as he starts warbling with excitement at the mere suggestion of driving near or around any previous drop off location. 1000% recommend !
