Real-Life Training for Dogs with Big Feelings
Do you feel like you have to be on guard every time you walk your dog? Do they lunge, bark, startle, shy away, or pull towards other dogs, people, objects, or critters? Does your dog get locked in staring at things or refuse to walk with you?
Do you dream of taking your dog for a walk that's relaxing for both of you?
​
​We can help!
Fear-Free Dog Training in Ottawa, Ontario
We specialize in helping dogs with big feelings such as reactive dogs, fearful dogs, and excited dogs - all without using intimidation, force, or fear to motivate them
Reactive Dog Services
Are your dog's reactions out of this world? Does your dog bark and lunge when they see a dog or a squirrel or a bus? Do they sometimes manage to hold it together at a distance but as the trigger gets closer, they meltdown completely?​
​
Imagine taking your dog for a walk without bracing for impact. Without needing to constantly scan the horizon for the next hazard to dodge. Imagine feeling like you and your dog are on the same team.
​
Yes even your dog can become a reliable co-pilot.

Meet Your Trainer: Logan Beauregard
Hi! I'm Logan! I'm the owner and head trainer of Moonbeam Dog Training. I've been a professional dog trainer in Ottawa since 2017 and I've worked primarily with aggressive, fearful, and reactive dogs since 2021. I am both a certified high school teacher and a certified professional dog trainer.
I consider myself a teacher of the subject of dog - I care about my human learners just as much as I care about my dog learners. I will not shame you for previous approaches and I will not assign you homework that is unrealistic for you to complete.
​
It's my job to help you understand what's going on for your dog and how to help them handle their astronomical feelings without a complete system shutdown. And if the plan doesn't work, it's my job to find another route and guide you through the turbulence to a safe landing.
Why Train With Moonbeam?
Certified Professional
Did you know that anyone in Ontario can call themselves a dog trainer or dog behaviourist even if they have no formal education in the field? Some have read books, some have taken courses, but there's no test that you are required to pass before you can work with dogs.
​
At Moonbeam, you get the peace of mind of working with a certified professional dog trainer.
Custom Designed for You
We tailor all of our training plans to your family, your life, your dog, and your goals. If you have any learning needs or accessibility considerations, we go over these in our initial Mission Control meeting. We love working with neurodivergent clients and figuring out how to incorporate training into your busy schedule.
Choose Your Training Journey
For reactive dog guardians, you can choose between the Do-It-Yourself Reactivity Roadmap Video Course, the Do-It-With-You Supersonic Private Training Program, or the Done-For-You Rocketship Day School Program.
Field Trips
We run members-only field trips for our clients every two weeks during the summer months. Our Rainbow bandana system allows us to run this group class for dogs with big feelings in real-life settings.

What kind of big feelings does your dog have?
Moonbeam Dog Training acknowledges that we live and work with dog guardians and families on the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Anishinàbe Algonquin People.

We are committed to an anti-racist, decolonial, and accessible future for generations to come.
