Supporting puppies, busy-brain dogs, and dogs navigating fear, anxiety, and reactivity through training, behavior, enrichment, and fitness that build confidence, calm, and emotional regulation. utilizes Fear-Free, Positive Reinforcement to teach, motivate and address problem behaviors. Because this is a team effort between the dog and their human companion, to achieve lasting results we encourage
relationship-building exercises along with fun physical components such as Agility, Treibball, Fitness and Trick Training. Providing a variety of mental stimulation games, puzzles, or activities like nose-work or 'Find It' can promote calm, focused, and fulfilled dogs. Manners combined with Physical Activity and Mental Stimulation makes for a very successful formula and can be fun for everyone in the household. Andrea Davis is the founder of One Smart Cookie K9 Services Inc. and one of Canada's FIRST K9 FIT CLUB Licensees. Training services are offered in-home, virtually and small group class formats. Her goal is to help dogs stay in their families by providing quality, humane, science-based tools and training to clients. The #1 reason dogs are surrendered to a shelter is due to behavior and the lack of skills and understanding from the pet guardians. Andrea has invested much time and effort with a variety of animal rescues and shelters and has worked professionally with animals for many years. Andrea is continuously looking for new ways to accommodate more canines and their human companions, while continuing to provide quality service and helping to meet the needs of individual clients. One Smart Cookie K9 Services' name was inspired by one of her dogs, COOKIE, who was an 8 year old blue heeler/whippet mix. It is also a play on words, being that we can use a 'cookie' in a smart way; to positively reinforce behaviors we want to encourage in our dogs. +R training is motivating to the dog, it builds trust, confidence and a strong bond between the dog and their human companion; it is not dominance based and therefore training is not stressful, but actually fun! Hence 'One Smart Cookie'.
