Serving Winnipeg & surrounding areas
Hi, I’m Alisha Cooke, a professional dog trainer with a deep commitment to helping dogs and their people build calmer, more connected lives together.
My approach is grounded in both extensive hands-on experience and formal education. I have spent over a decade working full-time in the Behaviour department of an animal shelter, supporting dogs with a wide range of training and behaviour challenges. I’ve also fostered many dogs and puppies, giving me a practical, real-world understanding of how behaviour shows up in the home.
I’m a graduate of the Academy for Dog Trainers, where I earned my CTC (Certificate in Training and Counseling) and developed a strong foundation in learning theory, behaviour science, and humane training practices. I use positive, evidence-based methods that focus on building trust, clarity, and lasting results.
Whether you are looking for guidance on foundational skills or support through more complex behaviour concerns, I offer thoughtful, individualized training plans designed to meet both you and your dog where you are.
