Discover Dogs

Matthias Lenz from Discover Dogs has been the best dog trainer we have worked with so far. He keeps training techniques simple and they are very effective. I would highly recommend his services to any new and experienced dog owner. Thanks, Matthias, for making training with our dog that much more enjoyable.

Best dog store in the city!!! I take my pooch here all the time for treats, toys and all sorts of good stuff. They have awesome classes you can take, and if you leave your dog with them to be walked or looked after you know you’re getting top notch service. Also if you have any questions about nutrition you should talk to Natalie ’cause she is just a superstar and will answer all of your questions and she’s just a delight to deal with.

We use Discover Dogs walking services and they are wonderful! They are attentive and professional with our dog. He gets exercise, socialization, and training during his walks. Afterward, he gets his teeth brushed and we get an emailed report. We also really appreciate that they offer walks everyday and have always been able to fit us in for last minute walks.

Deffinatly a fan of this place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who care about what they’re doing. They had lots of samples which is great for me as my dog tends to be a little fussy (pampered) so it was great to be able to try before you buy. I like their selection, they’re a fairly small store compared to others but they have different products you don’t find everywhere else. I will be back for sure.

Discover Dogs is great! We have engaged them in their buddy walks, private walks, pet sitting and healthcare services. You can tell everyone on the DD team loves dogs and go a step further in any service they provide. They are constantly providing ongoing training to our dog Trixie whether on a walk or just from a shop visit. Whenever they walk /​pet sit Trixie we also get venture reports from them in the evening on how their day went and helpful tips as well! She has definitely improved in her walks over the past couple of weeks thanks to Discover Dogs. Their prices are a bit on the premium side but you will definitely get your moneys worth!

I’ve walked by a few times, however, it was a sign about a raw food seminar that actually prompted me to go inside and get some information. Sadly due to work will not be able to make the seminar, however, discovered a great place to buy treats for freedom. All natural dog treats in a wide assortment of flavors including apple bacon. The guy working the counter was super friendly, sweet and helpful. He didn’t have to try hard with the customer service, it just came naturally to him.
P. S. If you’re a Canucks fan they have some cool jersey’s, official, for you dog.

Popped in while getting a sandwich next door at Ba Le next door.
Love that there are a lot of natural pet products. There are also lots of bowls of treat samples you are able to have your little one try, prior to committing to a whole bag. For example, I just found my dog to not be a fan of Herring skin, but doesn’t mind the chunks of dried cod.
Will be going back soon!

I have never dealt with a business as responsive and as caring as Discover Dogs. Tanya and Jake have been looking after Isabella my lab cross since she was a young dog. Isabella is was a non trusting, hyper dog. They worked miracles on her through patience and caring. Andrea who looks after Isabella on a regular basis treats Isabella as if she were her own dog. The relationship is truly heart warming. All of dog walkers, Melissa, Megan, Heather, Matthias are so positive and helpful. Chelsea does a great job keeping us scheduled and making sure she always has a walk. This month Isabella was not well and Tanya met with us in the evening to help diagnose her and today brought her to the vet. Isabella even got a special treat from Discover Dogs for her birthday. Their daily reports let me know how Isabella is doing. Isabella will always be a discover dog and I would recommend this business to anyone who asks. Believe me you will be sending thank you notes for this recommendation.

They are the best. They have been taking care of our dog ever since he was 10 weeks old. Whenever we need a break from the puppy-​life, he goes into the care of someone at Discover dogs for a night. He always waggles his tale when someone comes to pick him up. You can see all their employees LOVE dogs. It’s not just their job, its their passion. It’s a shame they changed their prices, as they’ve become a little pricey for me — but I understand, as their service is the best in town.
We get a night of every now and then, and he gets 24-​hours of nonstop attention. It’s great to have a service like this.

Discover Dogs is an amazing family run business I wholly recommend.
We have been using DD for Dog Coaching and have seen almost instant rewards and now order our dogs Raw food from them as well. We recently rescued a new 3 year old pup from Costa Rica, who is brand new to everything. We didn’t really know where to start with training a new adult dog with possible abuse issues and Jake from DD has been a godsend. Our first consultation was free. Jake came into our house, met our two dogs 8 and 3 and started working with us straight away. The most eye opening part of the coaching has been that it’s not the dogs that need it but us! We just needed to learn how to communicate with our dogs properly, something that Jake has tons of experience with. If you have a new dog or even an older dog like our 8 year old that just needs some habits corrected I highly recommend giving Jake, Tanya and the DD team a call. DD is quick to equip you with whatever you need to make your dogs lives better, we’ve got harnesses, toys and treats through them and this past month switched our dogs over to Raw food also delivered by DD.
Discover Dogs have been a huge help to us and I look forward to working with them in the future.

We started with DD about 18 months ago. Our then 1.5 year old Vizsla, Boris usually hangs out with our folks during the work day but we needed to find some support when they weren’t available. Enter Discover Dogs. Tanya came and met with us and Boris to get an idea what we were all about and vice versa. We use DD on an at-​need basis which usually works out to about 4 – 5 days/​month. Each time we get a Boris report to let us know what he got up to that day with all the good stories and even some of the not so good stuff. The best part is that we’re able to trust them 100%. I highly reccommend Discover Dogs.

I have now engaged Discover Dogs in THREE services. In my first review, I gave 5 stars for puppy coaching sessions. In my second review, I gave 5 stars for puppy-​sitting.
This is my third review and I am, again, giving 5 stars for Buddy Walking services. Ellamae is now going once a week for buddy walks with the DD team. It is $ 30 per day, she ends up being gone for about 2.5 hours and included in that price is nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, body checks and constant training. This is a fantastic service for those busy days at work when I’m unable to get home for Ellamae’s lunch time walk. By the time she’s a big girl, we hope to send her several times a week for some great fun, socialization and beautifying :)
Thanks again, Discover Dogs!
