METHODOLOGY
Toni is a balanced dog trainer. This means she uses all four quadrants of learning. The majority of Toni's training utilises positive reinforcement but also uses corrections to stop unwanted behaviour. This is often in the form of using a slip leash pop, squirt, noise corrector, or body pressure.
Toni believes that training is not a "one size fits all" and will develop a training plan she believes will be the most beneficial for your dog.
Toni also does not believe that one training tool is suitable for all dogs. Toni mainly uses slip leashes, treats and longlines. She will also utilise ecollars for recall and if necessary, head haltis and prong collars. All training tools and recommendations will be with complete transparency and will be used in accordance with the Animal Welfare and Dog Control Bylaw Acts
"Couldn't recommend Toni and Urban Wolves enough. Our pup Albus has been going on weekly pack walks and we've seen huge improvements in his obedience and calmness around other dogs.
We have also done a consultation lesson where Toni had solutions or exercises to improve on all areas we want guidance on. Albus is still a young pup but now becoming really well trained while still having a lot of fun along the way!"

“Stella had so much anxiety that if we left the house only for 10 minutes we would come back to a trashed house. She would constantly be barking & tearing up our furniture & anything in her path! She's torn up 2 lounge suites and it got to the point we stopped buying furniture because we were at a loss. We would bring her for rides with us in the car but if we ran into the shop for 5 or 10 minutes we would come back to our car & the seats had all been destroyed! We wouldn't be able to take her for walks around other dogs because of the fact she would lunge/bark at them & try and attack them. We couldn't leave our windows down when driving the car because she will jump on the window and run towards them. It got to the point where we were so exhausted and at a loss, we even considered re homing her to someone that would be able to control her. But we loved her too much to let her go which is when we reached out to Toni.
Toni is just amazing, you definitely see Toni's knowledge & background. Toni is very clear and well spoken and definitely worth it. She sees the problem or the issue and can instantly give us a solution to making it better. We have gained so much knowledge and tools from Toni to help us with Stella. There is no more pressure on our relationship with Stella. We are at a point where we can trust her and we have the tools to correct her if need be and it's just made everything so much more relaxing for us and not a strain. We are now have furniture and Stella has no interest in tearing it all up and we can have the windows down in our car as we are driving. Her leash skills have improved so much & Stella actually listens to us, and we are able to see and appreciate her for the little goofball she is.”

"Toni at Urban Wolves is amazing and our puppy Albus really benefits from her services. It's been fantastic stimulation and socialisation for Albus to go on pack walks once a week since we are at work during the day, and Toni is super patient with teaching him to walk with other dogs, be in a calm state of mind and generally have nice manners - it's so much more than just a fun walk for him, Toni puts so much care and time into his training too.
We did an online training consult with Toni during Lockdown and it has made the world of difference to our training with Albus. He's gone from being highly distracted when out on a walk to intensely focused on us (even with heaps of distractions) all because of Toni's tips for training. She explained everything so clearly and answered all our millions of questions.
Could not recommend Urban Wolves more highly!"
