Lori Johnston

Behaviour Therapist & Trainer

Dog training in Sudbury, North Bay, Espanola, Parry Sound, Hanmer, Lively, Val Caron, Garson and surrounding areas

Much of my adult life has been dedicated to helping local rescues. In that time, I have helped save hundreds of animals, working with several rescue teams to bring dogs in from remote Northern Ontario communities. I have and continue to foster many medical rehabilitation cases – dogs with fear, trust issues and no training – it’s incredible to help these dogs make a full recovery.

What I love about my job

Becoming a trainer has given me an opportunity to work with dogs and to be a positive influence in helping the dogs and their owners succeed in a more harmonious, happy way. Teaching owners how to communicate with their dog in a whole new way is the best! I love watching them both succeed & learn. 

Why I became a dog trainer

 I first experienced Bark Busters as a client with a few of my foster dogs. I have since been a huge fan & supporter of the Bark Busters methods. When the opportunity came up to become a trainer I could not pass that up!

My areas of expertise include:

  • Rescue dogs
  • Puppy training
  • Separation anxiety in dogs
  • Stopping excessive barking
  • Dog aggression and aggression toward humans
  • Leash training, including leash pulling
  • Stopping dogs from jumping on people
  • Food aggression in dogs and resource guarding
  • Reactive dog training
  • General obedience training
  • And more…

…There is no better gift to give your dog than to work with him to establish his place within your family pack. We have noticed how much more calm and enjoyable our dogs have become.
