Coquitlam is one of the most dog-friendly corners of Metro Vancouver — trails through Mundy Park, the off-leash areas around Lafarge Lake, plenty of neighborhoods where dogs are a fixture. But enjoying all of that with your dog is a lot easier when your dog is actually enjoyable to walk with.
Askdogtrainers.com, part of the Prodogz network, offers live one-on-one training sessions via video call. The trainer is Jason Lake, who brings more than 20 years of experience working with dogs at every level — from brand-new puppies to adult dogs with entrenched behavioral problems.
The format is simple. You book a session, connect via video, and Jason works with you in real time. He watches how you interact with your dog, sees what's actually happening (not just what you describe), and coaches you through it. That direct observation is what makes virtual sessions so much more effective than reading a book or watching YouTube clips on your own.
Group classes in the Lower Mainland can be expensive, crowded, and scheduled at inconvenient times. And a lot of the behaviours that frustrate people at home — leash pulling during busy walks, jumping on visitors, barking at the neighbour's fence — don't disappear in a group class environment. They need to be worked through at home, with personalized instruction.
That's exactly what this program provides. If your Goldendoodle launches herself at every guest who comes through the door, or your Shiba Inu has decided that recall is entirely optional, this is the kind of direct, specific help that actually changes things.
Sessions cover the full range: potty training, bite inhibition, leash manners, door etiquette, come-when-called, down, stay, impulse control, and addressing more serious concerns like resource guarding or dog-directed reactivity. There's no rigid syllabus — each session is shaped by what your dog and you need most.
Jason's approach includes brain training exercises that many trainers overlook. A dog that's mentally stimulated is less likely to get into trouble, easier to motivate during training, and generally more settled at home. These aren't optional extras — they're part of the core method.
A: Yes. Jason is experienced at working with dogs who've had prior training — including inconsistent or correction-based training. He'll assess where your dog currently is and build from there without undoing what's working.
A: Absolutely, and it's encouraged. When both people who live with a dog are on the same page with handling techniques, progress is significantly faster. Jason is happy to coach couples or family members together.
A: Bite inhibition is one of the first things Jason works on with puppy owners, and it typically responds quite quickly when you have the right approach. Most families see noticeable improvement within a week of implementing the techniques from the session.
A: Jason's sessions are designed to leave you with a complete action plan — not just during-session advice. The goal is that you leave knowing exactly what to do and why, so you can make progress on your own between sessions.
A: Sessions are currently conducted in English. If language is a concern, feel free to reach out via the contact page before booking to discuss options.
