Testimonials from Springbrook

My family and I had the fortunate experience of working with Andrea in our home using positive reinforcement training with our 7 month old puppy “BELLA”.

BELLA is a German Shepherd Coonhound mix with lots of energy and short attention span. The reason we contacted Andrea was for us to get training for BELLA to learn basic obedience, she was also fearful of other dogs and loud noises.

Positive reinforcement training has taught us that we can gain the trust and respect from Bella we needed for her to follow commands and learn in a fun and healthy environment.

We learned a lot of important things to show BELLA basic obedience, such as “stay”, how to be calm and not to jump up on people. Because Andrea was a great trainer and BELLA was such a quick learner we began to explore and learn fun things for her to do such as rollover, shake a paw, fun ways for her to use her nose and find hidden treats and lots more!

BELLA got over her fears of other dogs and loud noises. She goes to a doggy daycare now for more socialization and enjoys playing with the other dogs. I can also use my blow dryer and blender without BELLA barking and freaking out.

We were amazed at how smart BELLA could actually be when we really put in the effort and skills to train her. The possibilities are endless with positive reinforcement techniques and I would definitely recommend One Smart Cookie K9 Services to anyone!

Thanks again for the amazing experience and we really learned a lot and will keep using your techniques to follow through.

Springbrook Pups: Make Every Walk Easier and More Fun

With a 29-minute drive to Lacombe, you can give your dog the gift of real-world skills, calm behavior, and a stronger bond through small-group training.

Private Dog Training in Springbrook

Sometimes group classes aren’t the right fit.

That’s where private training comes in.

More than just dog training, it’s a team effort between you and your dog to build confidence and work through problem behaviors.

Everything we do is fear-free, force-free, and reward-based, so learning feels safe and positive for both of you.

If you’re in Springbrook, you’ve got two options:

  • We come to you* — in-home sessions are perfect if you’d like to tackle challenges right where they happen.

  • You come to us in Lacombe — many pet parents make the short drive of approximately 29 minutes for focused sessions at our training space.

Either way, private training gives you a custom plan, hands-on support, and a calm environment that helps your dog (and you) make real progress. Create a happier life for you and your dog, one paw at a time.

Common Challenges

My dog has separation anxiety, can they participate? 

The way our classes work is that we’re not actually training your dog; rather, we’re teaching you the techniques you need to teach your own dog (exception being our Day Training service)

Can puppies attend? 

Absolutely! Puppy-specific classes focus on early skills and safe socialization.

Are indoor and outdoor environments included? 

It depends on the particular program; we train in varied settings to help dogs generalize their skills.

What if my dog has learned bad habits at home? 

Group classes provide techniques to replace unwanted behaviors with appropriate alternatives, along with lesson recaps after each class.

For step-by-step, personalized guidance, we recommend booking private training.
