Elevate Your Dog’s Training Experience
VICTORIA, BC
At Woofability Academy, we believe dog training is about more than commands. It’s about connection, confidence, and community.
After nearly a decade of offering daycare and boarding, we’ve evolved into a full-service training academy focused on positive, science-based methods that honour each dog’s individuality. Our programs are designed to create meaningful change through structure, consistency, and compassionate guidance.
Whether you’re raising a new puppy, navigating adolescent challenges, or working on behaviour concerns, we’re here to support you. From immersive Board & Train programs to personalized coaching and day school training, our services empower both dogs and their families to grow together with lasting results.
Woofability Academy is more than a training centre. It’s a partnership built on trust, support, and a shared goal: helping your dog thrive.
At Woofability Academy, we specialize in transformational training for dogs and their families.
Our programs are grounded in positive reinforcement and science-based methods, with an emphasis on real-world application, emotional resilience, and lasting results.
Our core offerings include:
Pawsitive Steps Academy: Structured day school designed to build real-life skills like recall, calmness, and confidence — with individualized training plans for each dog.
Puppy Pawsitive Steps (Half-Day Program): A gentle, supportive environment focused on early socialization, foundational cues, and confidence-building during your puppy’s most critical learning stage.
Board & Train: Immersive, customized training while your dog stays with us — ideal for fast-tracking skills or addressing specific behavioural concerns like leash reactivity, anxiety, or overexcitement.
1-to-1 Training Sessions: Personalized, private coaching tailored to your dog’s needs and your family’s lifestyle. Available in person, in-home, or virtually.
Workshops: Short, targeted training sessions on topics like reliable recall, leash manners, canine body language, enrichment, and calm routines.
We don’t just teach obedience, we help dogs build confidence and emotional regulation through consistency, clarity, and compassionate support. Whether you’re starting with a puppy or navigating complex behaviours, Woofability Academy is here to guide you.

What Owners Are Saying
“We had an awesome 1st one on one training season with April and Wren. Our black lab quickly took to their training commands and only after the one hour session has shown improvements in a few areas. Their follow up session information is very helpful. We have already booked him for another session and are really looking forward to continuing to work with the great team at Woofability.”
