Zen Dog Canine Training Ltd. was founded in 2002 by Shannon Malmberg, a passionate dog trainer with over 30 years of experience. Based in Vancouver, Shannon has dedicated her career to helping dog owners navigate their canine companions’ needs, whether they are puppies, rescues, or reactive dogs. With a keen understanding of dog behavior and a commitment to positive reinforcement, she has helped nearly 10,000 clients build lasting, harmonious relationships with their dogs.
Shannon began her journey in dog training while volunteering with a personal protection program for women. Her extensive experience includes working with the Vancouver Police Dog Squad, where she gained valuable insights into handling high-energy and aggressive dogs. Today, Zen Dog aims to provide a wide range of training options, tailored to meet the unique needs of every dog and owner. Whether in a group class or individual sessions, the goal remains the same: to empower owners to connect and communicate effectively with their dogs.
