Sylvie's K9 Solutions has a strong commitment to rescues and animal welfare as well as educating the public on canine care and behavior. Our ultimate goal is simple: keep canine companions in their original or adoptive homes. An SPCA volunteer since 1992, Sylvie saw a need to educate people before behavioral issues got out of hand and prevent dogs from entering shelters and rescue groups. And thus began a rewarding career in dog training.
