vancouver’s dog trainers

it takes a town to raise a dog

New puppy… or senior floof? We’ve got You.

At Raintown, we offer a wide range of dog and puppy training classes right here in Vancouver. Our certified, professional trainers are passionate about delivering high-quality programs for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From manners and socialization to tricks and reactive dog training in Vancouver, we focus on building skills that foster connection, communication, and cooperation between you and your furry companion.

Our (fun!) positive-reinforcement approach is designed to help you strengthen your bond with your fur-baby while becoming part of Vancouver’s vibrant dog-parent community that stretches across the Lower Mainland.

We believe that even a little bit of dog obedience training can lead to a whole lot of joy. Whether you’re em*“bark”*ing on your first outdoor adventure, mastering the art of sit-stays, or dreaming of peaceful loose-leash strolls through the city, there’s a Raintown class just for you.

A Qualified and Educated Team of Dog Lovers

Kris and her talented, caring team can’t wait to help you discover what’s possible in the world of dog training.

At Raintown, we’re lifelong animal lovers who believe in the power of positive reinforcement. Our methods are always effective, humane, and force-free—grounded in science and built to strengthen the bond between you and your floof. Every member of our team brings a strong educational background in dog behaviour, and we’re passionate about sharing that knowledge with you.

Whether you're starting with a brand-new pupster or adopting your fifth rescue, we’re here to empower you with the skills and confidence to succeed. From our puppy socialization class to private dog lessons and everything in between, you’ll find support, inspiration, and community at Raintown.
