Pıxie Dust
Positive reinforcement dog training in Maple Ridge and surrounding communities, with virtual coaching throughout BC.
We start by getting to know you and your dog, then build a training plan around what matters to you both.
Your Training Journey
Start with a two-step assessment to get to know your dog and identify your goals, followed by practical coaching tailored to you both.
Initial Assessment & Custom Roadmap
A two-part kickoff combining a virtual consultation with hands-on coaching.
In-Home Plan
Two appointments to get to know your dog, understand your goals, and begin building practical skills together:
- Session 1 (45-min Zoom): We'll discuss your dog's history, health, routines and environment, and explore changes that could make learning easier.
- Session 2 (60-min In-Home): Practical coaching in your home and neighbourhood, observing, demonstrating and practising skills together.
- Written Roadmap: A practical training plan and next steps emailed within 48 hours.
Virtual Plan
Comprehensive remote support across British Columbia:
- Session 1 (45-min Zoom): We'll discuss your dog's experiences, routines and home environment, along with what you'd like to work on together.
- Session 2 (60-min Zoom): Live coaching to practise foundational skills together, with feedback tailored to you and your dog.
- Written Roadmap: A practical training plan and next steps emailed within 48 hours.
A little Pixie Dust to get you started
New clients who book an initial in-home training plan during our holiday promotion receive a complimentary Pixie Dust treat pouch.
It's the same pouch we use in our own training sessions, complete with our Pixie Dust tag. Promotional dates to be announced.
We begin by getting to know your dog and your goals, then use the second appointment for practical coaching.
Training for Your Needs
Flexible enough to adapt to successes and challenges.
We begin by understanding what matters to you and your dog, then develop a plan together. As you practise and learn, we adjust our approach to reflect what's working, what's challenging, and what comes next.
Coaching that follows your progress
Puppy biting, settling, barking at windows, loose-leash walking, adjusting to a new home—these are examples of what we can explore together, not fixed programs.
Choose individual sessions or a 4- or 6-session package after your initial assessment. The plan can change as you and your dog learn.

About Us
At Pixie Dust Dog Training, we know that behaviour change isn't magic. Understanding how dogs learn helps us make better decisions about how we teach them. Good training changes more than behaviour; it changes how we understand and respond to our dogs.
Based in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, our professional force-free trainers provide compassionate, in-home coaching throughout Maple Ridge and surrounding communities, as well as virtual consultations anywhere in BC. From teaching the basics of puppy training to helping with challenging behaviours, we're here to help you better understand your dog and build practical skills that make life easier for both of you.
We use positive reinforcement and follow our own ethical standards, along with the codes of conduct of the professional associations we belong to. Your dog's welfare comes first in everything we do.

Certified through Dogma Academy (DDT), she works with families to take the stress out of everyday living and build calm, practical routines that fit real life. She also serves on the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers (CAPDT) Professional Standards and National Curriculum Committee, supporting ethical standards across Canada. When she isn’t coaching local families, Corina enjoys gardening, volunteering at the local shelter, and navigating life in Maple Ridge with Paul, Abby, and Loki.
