Get to know us

We have always had a passion for training dogs and helping others. Guy Drinkwalter worked tirelessly as a Transmission Powerline Journeyman for many years before finally being able to make his dream of opening a quality dog training facility in our very own community of Kawartha Lakes come true! With a focus on empowering owners to take the lead, Guy is compassionate, patient and firm in his training practices and looks forward to working with owners to strengthen their bond with their dogs.

Guy is a certified professional dog trainer having completed the K9 Mania Dog Trainer Academy's Professional Dog Trainer program and studies under the mentorship of Natalie Dobkins.

The Zero to Hero K9 Training Centre

Located in Fenelon Falls we teach group classes from our newly renovated training centre.

Private training sessions can take place at the training centre, your home or in a predetermined outdoor space depending on what your dog is learning.
