Brooklyn Watson Owner & Certified Professional Dog Trainer

CPDT - KA

Have you ever had troubles with your dog? Counter surfing & causing an impact of mischief in your life? So have I. In the beginning of my relationship with my dog I was lost, my adopted puppy Kira had a prey drive & behavioural issues out of my own capabilities to manage.

This lead to me searching for trainers in my area when I found the PACE (positive association canine education) programme at the Cochrane & Area Humane Society. I figured I would gain the skills myself to help my dog, little did I realize at that time that this little puppy would propel me into my future career. Through CAHS I was able to gain a baseline education on dog behaviour modification, dog body language, general obedience, & more! From there I chose to continue my education by reading every book recommended by other professionals in the industry that I can get my hands on, taking courses through Fenzi Dog Academy such as Engagement courses, Raising a Performance Puppy, From Start to Finish & more! While gaining more knowledge I sought out family, friends & locals who needed some assistance training their dogs to gain hours & complete my certification through the CCPDT.

I am now certified as CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer Knowledge Assessed). This is just the first of many certifications that I aspire to achieve in the coming years as my business progresses. My specialty is currently general obedience, helping owners start their puppies off on the best foot, common behaviour issues such as counter surfing, barking at the front door, jumping, & more!

In may of 2025 I completed a two week apprenticeship under Stan Smith at Iron Sharp K9 in Texas. This opportunity was my first step into the sport dog & working dog world! It was a pleasure to begin my decoy training & learn what it takes to build a competition ready dog. With this new knowledge I am eager to incorporate it into building above average obedience, so you too can have a stellar pet!

I strive to help my clients build a happy relationship with their canine companions through the education of proper tools, dog body language & how to clearly & appropriately communicate with their dog. I believe each dog & their personality is unique therefore they deserve a personalized training plan. Through the use of positive reinforcement markers, verbal markers, play & more, we can build engagement & a healthy relationship to nourish appropriate behaviours & in turn a confident dog!

Now I am here to help give back to the beloved community of dog owners by offering affordable & personalized training plans!

Client Testimonials

Chad & Dice

“When I decided to get a puppy I knew I needed to train him in proper obedience so I hired Brooklyn. One word: amazing! Brooklyn is so knowledgeable and practical in her dog training it blew my mind. We quickly had general obedience under control with my dog, Dice, and are slowly working into more advanced aspects of dog training. I have no doubt Dice will grow into a well-trained, obedient, adult dog and it’s all through the principles Brooklyn is teaching myself and Dice.

I would recommend Brooklyn in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to enjoy the company of a well-trained dog. She continues to blow away all my expectations!”

Melissa & Gibson

“I cannot say enough great things about Brooklyn. From the moment she met my German Shepard Gibson, I could see a connection. Now, when I tell Gibson it’s time for his ‘date’ with Brooklyn he gets the most excited I’ve ever seen him. She has done wonders for him, especially in terms of his behavior. Gibson used to be quite reactive to other dogs, but thanks to Brooklyn’s consistent, calm, and positive approach, he's now so much more at peace on walks!

Brooklyn has truly helped him become more attentive during their walks, and I can see such a difference in his overall demeanor. He listens so well now, and it's clear that he feels safe, cared for, and loved in her presence. I’m beyond grateful for the bond they've built and for all the progress Gibson has made. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely connect with your dog and bring out their best, trust Brooklyn.”
