Dogue Shop dog training / Dogue Academy dog trainers
The Dogue Shop is an English science-based dog training school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 1999 by Gaby Dufresne-Cyr. Our mission is to educate, through science-based learning theories, enrichment, behavioural management, and behaviour modification, animals and the people who care for them.
We aim to promote the human-animal bond and establish secure attachments with dogs. At the Dogue Shop, the saying goes, “We do things Dogue Style.” Another knowledge-based difference between the Dogue Shop and other establishments is our use of multiple learning theories to train animals.

The Dogue Academy is a professional dog trainer program that offers four hundred hours of theory and hands-on learning. To become a dog trainer, attend the Animal Behaviour Apprenticeship, aka ABA, which is an in-person course that aims to teach future dog trainers how to train animals, conduct client consultations, work with exotics, and learn skills unavailable in other schools. At the Academy, we do things Dogue style!
Students learn about dog behaviour, training without lures, free-shaping, business, healthcare, husbandry, basic nutrition, imitation, the scientific method, homework, etc. The ABA is divided into four levels only to explain its content. Students have exams at the end of each level. The ABA price covers all materials, notebooks, and handouts; however, we require students to purchase the dog language book for their ethogram homework.
The program is a year-long course and is recognized by Revenue Quebec and Employment and Social Development Canada as a continuing education.
This means you can use the invoice and form as a tax credit. The Dogue Academy offers a payment plan spread over the year if necessary.

WHY IS OUR COMPANY COLOUR BRIGHT PINK
"I concede pink is not everyone's favourite colour; however, this tint of red generates compassion, serenity, sophistication, and sweetness in one's emotional mind. It's everything I aspire my company to be." - Gaby.
The Dogue Shop and Dogue Academy strive to bring understanding and peace of mind through science. Our motto is “Doing things Dogue style!” We emphasize the creation of a solid bond between you and your animal, regardless of species.
For Gaby, bright pink represents the sweet taste of a loving relationship. Consequently, you can expect us to be professional, yet we will laugh and cry with you along the way.
“The creatures that come into our lives do so with unconditional love; we believe in returning the sentiment. In that sense, my work is, simply put, delicious!” - Gaby.
Cheers.
