Behaviour Modification

Put an end to your dog’s separation anxiety and leave your stress, worry and guilt behind. No more noise complaints from neighbours, destruction to your home or a stressed dog.

Meet Your Trainer: Sharon Labossiere

Hello! I’m so glad you’ve found us at Hanging With Hounds. It’s my passion to help dogs and their people enjoy the best possible companionship. I have a been dog trainer for 10 years working with a wide variety of complex behaviour issues. Fear and anxiety can be crippling. It is for humans, just as it is for our canine companions. Since 2018, I have been working increasingly with separation anxiety and from January 2022, I have chosen to specialize and work exclusively with separation-related behaviours. Helping families resolve this complex and life-altering canine behaviour is my passion. No other canine behaviour impacts the human family or tests the bond with the dog as significantly as separation anxiety. Let me help you.

You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t love your dog, so you’ll probably want to know much more about me before reaching out. You can read more about my professional credentials, experience, and training approach here.

“Sharon is amazing and is the first person I refer to when dogs have behavior issues. As a Veterinarian it is very important I refer my clients and patients to someone who is both knowledgeable and compassionate; Sharon holds both of these qualities. From puppies to older dogs with severe behavioral issues, Sharon has made a huge difference in the lives of many of my patients. I cannot say enough good things about her.”

– Dr. Kaylan Elock, DVM West Springs Veterinary Hospital

Hanging With Hounds is based near Victoria BC, but we can help dogs anywhere in Canada, the US, including Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Toronto, Ottawa, Seattle WA, Portland OR and other centres across Canada and the Western US.

Dogs enrich our lives in so many ways.

They make us laugh, and entertain us with their antics. They provide us company and cheer us up when we are down.

They keep us moving and remind us not to take ourselves so seriously.

But sometimes a dog's behaviour can bring disappointment, guilt and stress.

Sometimes instead of joy, we feel frustration.

If the joy is missing from the relationship with your dog, and separation anxiety is challenging your bond,

I'd like to help.
