A better life for dogs and their humans

Extraordinary Canines Inc. (“Extraordinary Canines”) is located in Langley, BC and offers dog training services to pet owners at our facility in Langley, BC. We have clients come from Surrey, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, and other surrounding areas in British Columbia’s lower mainland.

We’re not just about training dogs. Our goal is to educate and empower humans to achieve the relationship they want with their dog.

We believe extraordinary things happen when a dog and human learn to effectively communicate with one another.  We help both the dog and human parts of every family learn to not just listen but to understand one another.

In every day interactions you and your puppy or dog are giving each other all kinds of information; sometimes neither dog nor human understand what’s being said — through words or body language — and that breakdown in communication can manifest into behaviours we call “problems”.  In our Puppy Socialization Classes, Foundations Training, K9 Nose Work® Classes, and Personal Training sessions we teach humans to read their dog or puppy’s body language and we promote evidence based training to teach dogs that following the lead of their people is fun and rewarding. The humane training techniques we use will create a better relationship with your dog and that leads to a better life for dogs and their humans.

Training Philosophy

Extraordinary Canines is committed to modern training methods rooted in the latest science in the field of animal behaviour.  Some terms commonly used to describe the methods we use are  ‘positive reinforcement’, ‘reward based’, ‘force free’, and ‘clicker’ training. Every dog is an individual, so we identify what motivates your dog and teach them that great things happen when they make great choices.

Rather than focusing on what we don’t want the dog to do (eg. pulling on leash) we teach the dog what we do want them to do (eg. walk next to us). Focusing on the positive makes training more enjoyable for dogs and humans alike. 

We follow the Humane Hierarchy, training dogs without the use of fear, intimidation, pain, or other aversive methods.

As a member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) we are committed to the PPG Guiding Principles, including: No shock, No prong, No choke and No Pain, No fear, No Force are ever employed in the training, behavior modification, care, or management of any pet.
