When Hounds Fly (Dundas West)
When Hounds Fly is a Toronto dog training company running group classes and private lessons from six locations across Toronto, Markham, and Mississauga, with its Dundas West location among the busiest. Founded in 2010, the company says it has trained more than 20,000 dogs using positive reinforcement methods, offering programs from Puppy Start Right through Foundation Skills group classes to private one-on-one work for fearful or reactive dogs.
What people praise
- Trainers like Ethan and Luca praised for helping shy or reactive puppies build confidence gradually
- Online student portal with class videos lets owners revisit exercises between sessions
- Free Zoom check-ins with an instructor offered between in-person classes
- Long-time local dog professionals describe watching the company shift the neighbourhood toward positive-reinforcement training over the years
Our take: When Hounds Fly tops this list on the deepest track record here, 345 reviews built over more than a decade, though its most recent reviews run a bit older than some competitors below it. The repeat mentions of specific trainers by name suggest consistent quality across a large team, not just one standout instructor.
