Dog Training in Burnaby, British Columbia

Burnaby is a city that moves fast - and dog owners here know that keeping up with a reactive pup or an untrained new rescue can make life genuinely exhausting. You love your dog. You just need a plan that actually works. That's exactly what we're here for.

Askdogtrainers.com, a proud subsidiary of Prodogz, has helped hundreds of families across North America - including right here in Burnaby - build confident, happy relationships with their dogs. We do it all virtually, which means no scheduling gymnastics, no commute, and no waiting weeks for an opening.

Why Virtual Training Works in Burnaby

Burnaby's mix of dense neighborhoods, dog-friendly parks, and busy streets means your dog is constantly exposed to new stimuli. Barking at cyclists on the Central Valley Greenway. Lunging toward other dogs at Burnaby Lake. Pulling toward people on Kingsway. These aren't signs of a bad dog - they're signs of a dog that needs proper guidance.

Virtual training puts Jason Lake, a trainer with over 20 years of hands-on experience, right in your living room via video session. You work through challenges in your dog's actual environment, which is honestly where behavior change sticks best.

What We Actually Work On

Every dog is different, so we don't hand you a cookie-cutter program. Some of the most common things Burnaby dog owners reach out about include leash reactivity, separation anxiety, persistent barking, not coming when called, and jumping on guests. We cover all of it.

Beyond fixing problem behaviors, we place serious emphasis on brain training - structured mental exercises that reduce boredom-driven chaos. A dog that gets to problem-solve is a dog that settles down more easily at the end of the day.

About Jason Lake

Jason has been working with dogs and their people for more than two decades. His approach blends behavioral science with genuine empathy - for the dog and for the human on the other end of the leash. He's not going to judge you for how things ended up. He's just going to help you fix them.

Over 250 five-star Google reviews speak for themselves. But more than any review, it's the emails from owners saying 'my dog finally walks nicely' that keep this work meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any special equipment before starting?

Nope. You just need your dog, a device with a camera, and a quiet-ish space. Jason will walk you through anything you might need as sessions progress - usually nothing fancy.

My dog is pretty old. Is it still worth trying training?

Absolutely. The old 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' line is just not true. Older dogs can and do learn - sometimes they're even more focused because they've settled down from puppy hyperactivity.

How long before I start seeing results?

Most owners notice clear changes within the first two to three sessions. Serious behavior issues take longer, but you'll see incremental progress early on, which keeps both of you motivated.

Can my kids be involved in the sessions?

Yes, and we encourage it. Consistency matters a lot in dog training, and if your kids interact with the dog daily, getting them on board with the same cues and rules makes a big difference.

Is online training really as effective as in-person?

For the vast majority of behaviors - yes. Working in your home, in your dog's environment, often produces faster results because the dog isn't performing in a strange location. It's real-life training, in real time.
