Who is BBDT?

Well they are our local dog trainer! **

About BBDT:

If you’re looking to swap out chaos for calm and make puppy mayhem a thing of the past, then you’ll want to check out 'Best Behaviour Dog Training Services', right here in Oakville, Ontario. This team is all about elevating your dog–human bond into something that’s joyful, respectful, and yes — even fun.

Why BBDT stands out

One of the strongest features of the service is that all training is private and in-home. They state that they “provide private, in-home coaching/training using the most up-to-date positive reinforcement training techniques for puppies, newly adopted, adolescent and adult dogs.” This means the training happens in your dog’s natural environment, your home and neighbourhood, so the lessons are practical and immediately applicable.

They emphasise a commitment to positive reinforcement, as opposed to aversive or punishment-based methods. They say: “Effective training opens the lines of communication between you and your dog without the use of intimidation, fear or pain.” For dog owners who value kind, respectful methods, this is a major plus.

Program offerings

BBDT has a clear tiered structure of programs to meet dogs of different ages and stages:

Programs for every life stage

They really tailor things depending on the age and vibe of the dog. For example:

The “Playful Puppy Program” (ages 8 weeks to 6 months): “This is the most critical period of time for your puppy to learn the fundamentals of obedience and house manners.”

The “Terrible Teen Program” (6 months to 18 months): They even acknowledge the human-teenage parallel: “During this period of time your dog will probably be acting like a human teenager. It will seem like they have forgotten everything you taught them. But don’t worry…”.

The “Best Behaviour Program” (6 months and up) handles issues like resource guarding, leash pulling, separation anxiety: “Help your dog understand what you want from him/her and prevent unwanted behaviours.”

Whether you’re dealing with puppy-chews-everything phase or a full-blown adult dog rut, they’ve got you covered.

This structure shows BBDT can support dogs through the full lifecycle of growth and behaviour challenges — from puppy to adult with advanced focus.

What sets them apart

• In-home training: Their services include private, in-home coaching/training so you work on things in your environment.
• Positive reinforcement only: They emphasise that “punishment is not always clear” and that positive training "allows you to communicate clearly with your dog.”
• Tailored for you & your dog’s lifestyle: Their descriptions repeatedly highlight that whether you have a new puppy, an adopted dog needing a reset, or a teen energy bundle, the plan is customized.
• Transparency and detail-rich programs: The website lists exactly what each program covers — things like leash walking, biting inhibition, socialization, mental stimulation, and so on.

Our thoughts

For dog owners in Oakville (or nearby) who prefer force-free, positive methods and want a program that adjusts to their dog’s age, stage, and specific behaviour issues, Best Behaviour Dog Training Services offers a well-thought-out path. The in-home private approach means fewer distractions and a custom setting; the program variety gives clarity and progression; and the philosophy of respect and understanding is reassuring.

If you’re considering enrolling, my tip would be: book the initial consultation (they note that “All training programs start with a one hour initial consultation.” Use that time to discuss your dog’s specific challenges (pulling, separation anxiety, jumping, etc.) and ask how they tailor their approach for your dog and home environment.

The vibe: fun, accessible, friendly

It’s not all serious business (goodness knows dog training can sometimes feel like boot camp). Best Behaviour keeps the tone light: “When you ask your dog to do something, he/she will listen, think and happily choose the correct response.”

Plus, they make it clear: they’ll train you as much as the pup. That means you’re not just getting a good boy/girl, you’re gaining confidence, clarity, and a smoother relationship with your furry best friend.
