Perfect Companion K9

​​

Since 1996, our Vancouver-based Board & Train Rehabilitation Program has helped more than 14,000 dog owners restore freedom, trust, and joy with their dogs.

​​

 

What sets us apart?​

​​

We are not interested in providing dog training that only works in classroom settings.

 

Using a balanced dog behaviour modification approach that combines positive reinforcement with clear structure and accountability, we have rehabilitated over 7,000 reactive, anxious, and aggressive dogs in the last 30 years.

 

We are renowned for building calm, reliable behaviours that hold up in the real world – where distractions are constant, situations are unpredictable, and reliability truly matters.

​

 

Our mission:

To help dog owners regain freedom and confidence with their dogs – without the constant stress of avoidance, isolation, and management.

 

​Our priorities:

​​​

• Teaching your dog to successfully overcome real-world challenges, so they can enjoy life to the fullest​​​.​​​

​​

• Equipping you with the handling skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to build a lasting partnership with your dog.

​​

​​​​​

Who will handle your dog's training?​​

​​​

At our family-run business in Vancouver, BC, every dog is trained personally by Richard Chan, our founder and head trainer.​

​

Unlike many commercial programs, we never outsource your dog's training to junior assistants, kennel staff, or less experienced trainers. 

​

​We intentionally keep our rehabilitation program small to ensure your dog receives the highest standard of individualized care and attention directly from Richard, who will look after your dog as his own, from start to finish.

​

This consistency builds a trusted foundation – the key ingredient for producing the reliable, lifelong results that you and your dog deserve. 

​

 

What will your dog learn in our Board & Train Program?​​​​​

​

• Core obedience:
  Sit, Down, Place, Come, and Structured Walking

​

• ​Life skills:
  Remaining calm during veterinary visits, grooming, nail trims, dining in restaurants, shopping, children's events, vacuuming, doorbell rings, and other day-to-day distractions

​

• ​Real-world manners:
  Greeting guests politely, walking calmly past other dogs, children, and people, and eliminating resource guarding and prey-chasing behaviours

 

By the end of the training program, your dog will navigate ongoing distractions, unexpected triggers, and challenging situations confidently and reliably.

​

 

How do we support you?

​

A well-trained dog is only part of the equation. Lasting success depends on clear, consistent communication between you and your dog.

​

We don’t just send your dog home and hope for the best.

​

Before your dog graduates from our Board & Train Program, we will transfer every aspect of the training to you using our proprietary human coaching system – so your dog responds to you just as reliably as they did with us.

 

Most importantly, we ensure you are fully equipped, confident, and ready when you take your dog home.

​

But training does not end there.

 

We also offer lifetime support to ensure your continued success for many years to come.

​

• Lifetime training tune-ups:
  Available through our Structured Boarding Program to maintain and refine your dog's training while you take a well-deserved break.​

​​

• Unlimited private lessons:
  Included at no additional cost, giving you lifetime access to expert guidance whenever you need it.
