Vancouver Dog Training
Struggling with a reactive or anxious dog? You’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
You love your dog deeply, but the barking, lunging, fear, or unpredictability is exhausting. Maybe you’ve tried training before, watched videos, or read advice — but nothing seems to fully click. That’s exactly why we created this program.

A different approach—for dogs who need more than “basic training”
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all obedience course. It’s a personalized, holistic program designed to help you understand why your dog behaves the way they do—and what to do about it in a way that actually works.
Created by Ed Light, founder of Dog Swim Vancouver, this program blends practical, real-world training with a deeper understanding of your dog’s emotional world.
Because real change happens when you address both.
