“I’m not sure what magic you folks are doing with Ruffian at daycare, but in the past 3 weeks since starting daycare, his behaviour at the park (with and without his ball) has improved dramatically. Not to mention his ‘drop’ command is actually working the majority of the time rather than just being a suggestion. Thank you!!!”
- Darlene with Ruffian
“Although Sully is still just a puppy and has his moments, he has come a long way with the help of all the trainers at dogma. He always comes home a tired and happy puppy from kinderPUPS. The trainers make a noticeable difference in encouraging good behaviours and addressing his not so good habits! Sully responds really well to the positive training techniques used by dogma. He is always beyond excited to see his favourite dogma trainers. dogma’s PUPS Socialization classes, kinderPUPS and urbanK9 have also been extremely helpful for me by teaching me how to enjoy and have confidence in my own dog, how to read other dogs, and how to appropriately discourage bad behaviours. Thank you for all of your hard work!!

“…All of you do such an awesome job at Dogma. Some of the faces have changed since we first started coming to Dogma – but one thing has stayed the same: your love of the dogs and your commitment to making Dogma the absolute BEST daycare in Calgary. Buster will miss not being a regular at Dogma U, but like I say, I’ll make sure we visit a couple of times a month so he is not a complete stranger. And I will miss you. Dropping Buster off before work, and picking him up after has been a big part of my routine. You guys have made our days very special. Thank you so much.”
- Michael & Buster
“If anyone wonders if the KinderPups program is a good one, here’s a photo of my Enzo walking confidently on the grating at Westbrook Station. There’s a lot of it there & when the trains pass underground it echoes & there’s all sorts if noises. Enzo was exposed to grates, different textures & sounds at KinderPups daycare; and so he didn’t think twice about walking on the strange textures or hearing different sounds. My previous dog, I could never get him to try walking on grates, anywhere. Thanks, KinderPups”
- Jackie with Enzo
“I wanted to write a thank you note to both of you for all the suggestions and work you have done with Pax over the years. Most recently, you came over to help us with issues around Pax and my daughter Emma – we had worked hard on all the suggestions you gave and now that Emma is almost two and Pax is almost 12, I am happy to report that the two of them are best buddies. I could not ask for a better dog for Emma – he is unbelievably patient, loving, affectionate and gentle, they love to be together and will seek each other out often for attention and play.
We were told by family, breeders, friends and doctors to put Pax down as he was 10 and had “lived a good life” and the risk of potential aggression towards Emma was not worth any gain. They were wrong. Pax has never hurt Emma nor has he shown any aggression towards her and I am so happy we made the decision to work with you to find a solution for him and for us. He continues to be a loving family pet and a vital and important part of Emma’s young life.
Although he is now quite hard of hearing, with poor vision and incontinence, we are happy to have him in our lives and will continue to do our best for him in the remaining years he has here with us.
Thank you both for your expertise and support. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Sincerely,”
- The Geyer’s and Pax
“I just wanted to thank you so much for such an amazing program. Not only have I noticed such an improvement with Murphy but also with myself. I’ve already been in situations with him where I’m impressed with how confidently I handled it, compared to even a few months ago. I know Murphy (and me) still have a ways to go but I’m really happy we have made such great progress.”
- Courtney with Murphy

dogma proudly offered the first of its kind full dog training apprenticeship program in Canada in 2009. Since then, there have been over 100 successful graduates of the program. These graduates finish our program with over 400 hours of theory and hands-on learning to make them the most reputable and sought-after certified trainers in Calgary. Graduates who earn their DCBC (dogma Certified Behaviour Consultant) designation have gone on to be recruited by many of Calgary’s large dog training schools or have created their own successful dog training businesses. Our program is committed to providing you with the most comprehensive skills to ensure you have the confidence and experience to succeed in this exciting career. This is proven through the success of our graduates.
Our program has been updated and new material has been added. All theoretical learning is now available online to enable you to study at your own pace. We listened and will be offering both an online and apprenticeship option for our program. We now offer a basic dogma Dog Trainer certification (DDT), with the option to do the full DCBC program which covers complex behaviour concerns such as fear and aggression. Online-only details will be announced in the coming month and we are now accepting registrations for our next session until November 30, 2019!

Handling Certificate
We know that you love dogs and that you want to ensure you are improving their overall well-being when they are in your care. Traditionally, most pet care professionals learn on the job and through their experiences with the animals in their lives. We now understand that this is not adequate, so dogma Academy has created a low-cost, but comprehensive option, to provide training to pet professionals in the comfort of their own home. Our training can be done on your schedule and you will have full access to the program materials for one year from the date of purchase. Set yourself apart from your competition and demonstrate to your clients that your knowledge allows you to provide the best care for their family members. Take your business to the next level today!
Cost for the Handling Certificate Course: $250.00+gst
