About Me: Corine Reid, DN-DTC (she/her)

Hello! I’m Corine, and I’ve been passionate about animals, especially Dogs and Cats all my life. As the proud owner of a successful dog walking business for the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with countless furry companions and their loving families. 

Journey to Becoming a Certified Dog Trainer

I was often asked to help my clients with behaviour situations they were experiencing. Therefore, I felt it was crucial to equip myself with scientific knowledge and credentials to better serve both people and their beloved pets.  I only use ethical fear/force free methods when training dogs.

A Passion Beyond the Leash

In addition to my dog walking business and certifications, I’ve had the opportunity to foster numerous dogs and cats for various rescue agencies. Witnessing their transformations has been nothing short of magical. Fostering isn’t just about providing shelter—it’s about understanding, compassion, and patience. By truly listening to their needs, I’ve seen scared, neglected animals blossom into confident, loving companions.

Beyond Dogs

When I’m not immersed in “dog stuff,” you’ll find me enjoying other activities:

• Pickleball: I love staying active and competitive on the pickleball court.

• Hiking: Exploring nature by hiking with my family and dog Ava.

• Chasing Grandkids: My two grandchildren keep me on my toes, and I cherish every moment with them.
