Who we are
Getting your dog to do something you want is one thing… getting your dog to LOVE doing it with you is another.
Our Mantra
Revive Canine was created to quite frankly, revive the relationship between you and your dog. Our process from beginning to end incorporates teaching you how to create a functional relationship between you and your dog.
As every interaction you have with your dog is a learning opportunity.. we want to make sure all dog training is intentional. Through our custom fit programs, you’ll learn to understand your dog beyond just training.. we want to teach you the ‘why’ behind your dogs actions and the emotions that drive them.
After years of working with hundreds of dogs, we’ve learned that clients need personal support. How much you understand your dog beyond the “science” (because science can’t measure the emotions that you need to build a relationship with your dog.) is important.
We build a custom program with you, deep diving into the lifestyle you want to achieve with your dog, and provide a roadmap to making your journey sustainable for reliable results.
We know you need access to consulting and strategies for real, everyday life. Get in touch if you want to refine and break down the bits with your dog.
Start with your customized consultation to diagnose what is happening and why.
“Experts are just trained dogs.”
— Albert Einstein

On a more personal note.. Nice to meet you, I’m Kaity. I am motivated by all of my amazing clients to keep progressing what has already been an impactful 16 years in training dogs. My mantra is to create better relationships through effective communication with you and your dog. I want to welcome you to the beginning of a life-changing journey that has the potential to transform you and your dog from the ground up. If you’ve come this far to reach out for help, you’ve already completed step one in recognizing that you, like most of us, are stuck on ‘auto-pilot’ with your dog and no longer know how to progress.
An empowering shift begins to happen when we connect and start the process of getting you started on new, healthy habits with your dog. By objectively and empathetically observing the physical, mental and emotional needs and patterns that fill both you and your dogs day together, we can more clearly make a plan and see what you do not want to carry into the future.
The choices you make in raising your dog for your lifestyle will have a profound impact on your lives together. Only by understanding your habits with your dog, we’re able to make a plan to transform the both of you and your relationship. Our training is for those owners who like myself, are hungry for change and to do better. I often find myself thinking “there has to be more than what we’ve previously practiced and known” - and there very much is. Through clear communication, understanding unique patterns and how they contribute to your dogs behaviour and implementing proper play techniques, we take the conflict out of dog training. My goal for all of you is to teach you how to apply all of this to your dog, keeping you an active participant in your own learning as well as your dogs. Hundreds of clients just like yourself have walked away with a clear picture and results with their dogs. Whether you are raising a puppy, or looking to further your training with your current companion, I am here to help you succeed and retain results.
In 2009, at 17 I raised the dog that started this all, Vida. She was a fantastic working line German Shepherd and a true muse! I would not have the passion, grit or drive that I have to help you on your journey to enjoying everything there is to with your dog if not for her. Hype, 10, is a spit fire (another working line German Shepherd) alongside Fury, my 4 year old Dutch Shepherd. Fury and I actively train for Protection Sports Association on a National Level team. This training has completely shifted my knowledge for dogs and perception of the importance of proper learning through playing with our dogs. In Spring 2023, we will be adding another puppy and sharing this journey with you all as well!
I’m pleased to be able to offer help for high-caliber working/sport dogs, herding breeds and family pets. I constantly am adding new skills through attending and hosting seminars, workshops, online training, sport clubs and of course the collaborative minds and mentorship of some of the best trainers in North America.
My knowledge to date has allowed me to begin coaching other professionals within the Okanagan and North America. I continue to work on building up the dog training community here and passing on the insight, knowledge and respect gained from other trainers. I truly believe we can all work together to enrich the relationships we have with our dogs. Progress, not perfection.
