Jon, Nancy, and the humans behind the dogs

Real work. Local people. Dogs first. Here’s what’s happening at BetterDog.ca.

The humans need a system, too

Jon Wells and Nancy Corriveau co-founded BetterDog.ca to help households in Ottawa–Gatineau live better with their dogs. The work is practical: pulling, barking, reactivity, boundaries and the everyday chaos that wears people down.

The dog usually isn’t the whole problem. The humans need to know what to do, when to do it and why it works. Clearer routines, confidence and consistency give everyone something they can actually follow.

Start where the problem happens

The Life Changer is a deep, two-to-three-hour in-home session. From there, families can continue with follow-ups, structured Pack Walks or the Unlimited yearly plan. The aim is a workable life together, without hurting or intimidating the dog.

Remember what you learned

We record our session so you can focus on learning. Your questions, our answers and the details you share help us build your guide. We turn it into a custom guide for your dog, with the steps you practised together. It’s ready the same day in the BetterDog App.

Jon leads the business systems and technology work. Nancy brings her own training practice, clients and judgment. Both are people you can speak to, not names pasted onto an automated answer.

Need an interview, quote or photo?

We’d rather show you what we do than give you a corporate speech. Contact Jon for media requests; interviews with Nancy are arranged with her.
