A DOG THAT LISTENS TO YOU EVERY TIME
A DOG THAT CAN WALK PAST OTHER DOGS OR PEOPLE WITHOUT REACTING.
A DOG THAT WALKS NICELY BESIDE YOU
A SAFE PLACE TO TAKE YOUR DOG WHILE YOU ARE ON HOLIDAYS
We Believe YOU Deserve…
A dog that wants to listen to you, enjoys training and you receive the coaching you need to have a well mannered member of the family.
So many dog owners are completely lost or frustrated on where to start – especially if they’re dealing with serious behavioural issues. Or they are looking for a safe place to bring their dog that is quiet and with a smaller amount of dogs.
This is why we offer Free Evaluations. We meet with you one on one and go over
- The issues concerning your dog
- Areas you are struggling with
- Suggestions you can get started on right away.
- The goals you have for your dog
- We help you start with a plan, but without a solid process behind that planning real progress often remains elusive.
- We meet with you and your dog before you go away.
Endeavour K9 has a simple, flexible process to produce a truly customizable approach to suit you, your dog, and the things you wish to achieve.
Realistic goals, milestones to reach, which pieces you need to start to teach first and how to begin that work – we’ll coach you put all the pieces together.
Testimonial/Success Story
After striking out with a first trainer who did not believe in certain training equipment, we discovered Shanna and her new training and boarding business. Tucker (and frankly maybe more Rob and I) have learned a lot to keep him safe and us sane. At 22 months and nearly 100 pounds we are now fine tuning his training with an e collar and private lessons. Tucker and his buddy Samantha also boarded. So comforting to know Shanna and her staff know us and our dogs . Heartily recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their best friends!!

4 ways we can help you.
We offer a variety of options to to suit your need.
Dog Training
Our programs are designed for success and we provide support during and after most programs up to a year after training. We provide Private training, Day Training and Board & Trains Bootcamps for puppies (under 5 months) and adult dogs. We also provide group classes after your program is complete. All of our programs are designed to help you reach your training goals with effective, proven instruction and exceptional support.
Dog Boarding
We are an exclusive dog resort, not a regular boarding kennel. Our priority is your dog physical and mental well-being. We teach and maintain basic manners while your dog is here, which very few facilities do. As an educational dog resort we work on basic manners with the dogs in our care: including walking on a loose leash, waiting for their food, sitting and waiting at doorways and more, they are often rewarded in their rooms for being quiet.
Retail
Our retail is an appointment only facility. Please call before coming. We offer a selection of products including Ruff Land Performance Kennels, Raddog tug toys, Inukshuck Dog Food, Ryans’s Raw dog food & treats, West Paw and more.
Daycare
Our Enrichment Daycare was created as the vision of what we wanted our current or previous clients dog’s to experience. A safe place to take their dogs after training and consistently offer them structure, rules and positive socialization.
We wanted the intimacy of being able to do touch up training with a small number of dogs, while providing structured downtime and enrichment.
We believe you deserve.
HAPPY DOG
A dog that not only listens but is also LOVES working with you and has a great experience while training.
SUPPORT
We want clients to ask questions, make sure they understand what they are doing, seek feedback, check in, do the work, and put in the time and effort to achieve. Our programs include video lessons, handouts and a Facebook group
CONFIDENCE
That your dog is well taken care of. We do health checks when dogs come in. Dogs also either go home for their programs during the evening or on weekends for training.
COMMUNICATIVE
We give updated report cards every 2-3 days for dogs staying with us and post photos on social media.
Testimonial/Success Story
Owning a puppy during COVID was no easy task. Although it was lovely to have more time at home to spend with our magnificent little beast, he fed off any anxiety in the home (and there was lots) and did not have as many interactions in the community with people, places and things as he would have pre-COVID. Add in that Gotham is a Dutch Shepherd with some breed specific needs for training and we knew we could benefit from some professional support. Shanna at Endeavour completed an assessment and gave some helpful feedback. We enrolled in the Puppy Engagement class and immediately saw Gotham’s confidence rise. Obedience class was next and we started to really recognize Gotham’s potential as he is eager to learn when given the right directions. We look forward to doing more classes this year with Shanna and her team.
We have also been so thrilled with the boarding facilities at Endeavour. We have 100% confidence of Gotham’s care while he is there. Additionally, the store is a great place to shop for treats, equipment, food and supplies.
Thank you to Endeavour K9 for helping us to get to know our dog’s needs and abilities so he (and we) can develop!
