BACKGROUND​
​
​Simone Day is a highly qualified and experienced dog trainer and behaviourist, holding an MSc with Distinction in treating behaviour problems in dogs. Since 1998, she has taught group training classes for both puppies and adult dogs, and she has worked with private clients on training and behavioural issues since 2000.
​
In addition to being an academically qualified canine behaviourist, Simone has a special interest in puppy behaviour and development. From 2008 to 2020, she ran specialised young puppy classes and has advised hundreds of puppy owners on a one-to-one basis in their homes. After all, if owners get things right early on, they can often avoid the need for Simone’s specialist skills as a behaviourist later!
​
Simone also has extensive experience rehabilitating rescue dogs. She has worked with dogs from all over the world and from a wide variety of situations, including street dogs, “rez” dogs, puppy farms, hoarding cases, and even dog meat suppliers, to name just a few. For about five years, she was the primary behaviourist for British Dalmatian Welfare. And you may be interested to know that Simone is one of the few dog trainers in Calgary who trains deaf dogs!
​
With such a vast knowledge base and skill set, Simone is well placed to help you—whether you are a new puppy parent interested in puppy training, looking to improve your dog’s obedience training and manners, or struggling with a more complex behaviour problem. Simone’s love for and enthusiasm about her chosen career shine through, and her friendly, professional approach, coupled with her willingness to listen to her clients’ needs, has made her highly popular with both her human and canine clientele (just have a look at the Testimonials page!).
