About Us
Companion Dog
Trainers Ltd.
operates out of its facility on the Ruby Line in the Goulds, a few
kilometers
from Mount Pearl and a 10-15 minute drive from the downtown core of
Newfoundland
and Labrador's capital city, St. John's.
Owned and operated by Linda
Pike since 2001, the company has been active since its incorporation in 1990. Linda took over the business after her mentor, the late Helene Proudfoot, retired. Since then, she has established a permanent
facility at her present location and expanded the business to include a
dog daycare.
Linda is an
accredited Volhard
Instructor and an accredited helper with the German Shepherd Schutzhund
Club of Canada. Whenever the opportunity arises, she continues to
upgrade
her knowledge and skills. Such dedication produces results. In 2005,
Linda
earned the national award for training Canada's Best Obedience Mastiff.
Linda is a member of the Canadian Kennel Club and the Newfoundland
Kennel
Club.
Companion
Dog Trainers Ltd. runs classes in Puppy Socialization, Obedience and
Agility. Under certified Volhard Instructors Linda Pike and Jennie Murphy, clients learn to train their dogs using the Volhard Motivational Method.
Its daycare service can accommodate 15 dogs a day. The facility
includes
indoor and outdoor areas. The yard, surrounded by a 6-foot high fence,
is equipped with lots of agility obstacles, which the daycare dogs love
almost as much as the kiddies' swimming pool and the short-lived tennis
balls and tug toys.
The company sells
collars,
leashes and other necessities of dog ownership. Its shelves are also
stocked
with nutritional supplements that can help you provide the optimal diet
for your dog.
