Dog Training in East Toronto

Meet Monica Simpson

Since 2006, I’ve transformed nearly 3,000 dogs and families across Toronto. As a Grand Master Trainer and Behaviour Therapist, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my professional background in psychiatry and my Master of Health Science in Health Care Administration and Management. While human behaviour is incredibly interesting, I recognized early that dog behaviour holds equally fascinating complexities. My expertise in understanding behaviour patterns and systemic change translates perfectly into helping families transform their relationships with their dogs.

After adopting a rescue German Shepherd named May with serious behavioural issues, I discovered that my own training methods, which had worked with my other dogs, simply weren’t enough. Skeptical but desperate, I turned to Bark Busters and experienced an immediate shift in hope and understanding. That pivotal moment, when my trainer suggested I might have a gift for this work, became the catalyst for an 18-year career dedicated to helping families. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, I specialize in changing the relationships between people and their dogs, understanding that proper communication can literally save a dog’s life.

My mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.

It is so rewarding to have the opportunity to change the relationships between people and their dogs. Life is a lot more fulfilling when you understand each other, and in the most serious situations, it can help save a dog’s life.
