Testimonials, Our Clients Say

Time and Patience Dog Training Ltd. is an “ARF approved” training school, recommended by the Animal Rescue Foundation of Ontario as a school where pet owners can take their newly adopted dog for companion training.

Here’s what our students have to say:

“My apartment building management gave me an eviction notice because my 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Marcel, had been disturbing tenants with his barking. I called Jill at Time and Patience Dog Training. I was very distraught and highly stressed as I had contemplated returning him to the Humane Society where I rescued him. Jill listened sympathetically to my problem and gave me several options of how to try to modify this behaviour. I began using these tactics immediately. After two days, Marcel was like a brand new dog – an angel void of barking. By the end of the weekend, he had to ask me politely to stop kissing him. Jill you are lifesaver!!”

– Nancy & Marcel

"Thanks to Time and Patience for tailoring a unique
program to meet our family's and our dog’s needs."

– Carol & Muggins

"Ryder is doing very well. He still has his moments, but I now realize every dog has them. He
is walking nicely when asked and is even playing better with other dogs. He is maturing into a
wonderful dog. Thanks for your help!"

– Kathryn, Adam & Ryder

Dear Jill,

We just wanted to send you a letter to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your help with Mathilda. After nearly 30 years of rescuing abused Bulldogs and Bull Terriers, hands down this was the hardest dog I have ever had to deal with, literally. The first year of her life was spent in a small cage and on the rare occasion she was taken out she was shocked with a tazer gun for discipline. Needless to say when we got her she was one messed up and damaged little dog, I did not think we could train her and find her a home. Your suggestions and methods really helped us begin to teach her to learn. That was a really important step. After months and months of struggling with her, when I finally saw progress after using some of your methods I was elated! I would not have been successful without your help.

I’m so happy to report that Mathilda is in great shape now and is so well behaved its like night and day compared to when we first got her. We honestly could not have done it with out your help. She is so great now and she was so much work there is no way any of us can bear to part with her so she belongs to us now completely.

Don’t get me wrong, she still has her quirks, but their normal dog quirks. I still can’t take out the evil vacuum cleaner in her presence and no squirrels are safe in my backyard.
I thank you and she thanks you.

"Thank you for everything you taught us. Our Dusty is a new Dusty!! Barking has been cut down tremendously, and there is no more barking when we are eating. He has also learned how to leave it. Your tips have all been successful and we continue to add to Dusty's repertoire. Thanks again for your help."

Regards,
Ian & Dusty

"My wife and I were at the All About Pets show today and watched your demonstration with Smudge. It was very valuable and we certainly learned a lot, although we had dogs for many years. We'll practice with our 4 year old Lab, Cody. Just a note to thank you!"

All the best,

"Cody is doing so well with his lessons. Actually his handler's are the ones who are really
improving. We've been following your advice and have seen great progress. Thanks so much."
