Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy
Unleashed is a Montessori school for dogs offering high-quality education that focuses on the whole student: their social, emotional, intellectual and physical development.
We work with dog owners in the Toronto core who value proactive care in the social integration of their canine companions and access to a personalized support system of certified dog trainers with CPDT-KA and/or KPA designations.
Our team follows the Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive (LIMA) code of ethics and Positive Reinforcement strategies in all our programs; customizing our curriculum to the individual dog and holding lessons in an immersive day school experience centered around enrichment, education and exploration in nature.
Our Mission
Unleashed in the City is on a mission to enhance relationships and quality of life through a strategic, science-informed approach to canine enrichment and education. Through our programs, we lead a community of compassionate dog owners in co-creating a new standard of care for dogs growing up in the city.
The Unleashed Manifesto
We’re a new generation of caregivers: patient, empathetic — the teachers. A community of compassionate dog owners co-creating a new experience and honouring an unspoken commitment.
We’re past band-aid solutions. We believe in proactive education that focuses on the whole student. We celebrate their unwavering efforts and heart-warming innocence. We light the way of milestones, adventures and resilience.
We see them.
We live life Unleashed.
Our Values
Ethical anchors to our offerings and the way we do business:

Compassion
We’re attuned to the challenges of sharing our lives with dogs and lead our programs with patience, empathy and compassion for both ends of the leash.
Community
We pursue collective support and collaboration in all that we do; driven to co-create a new standard of care and a greater quality of life for ourselves and our pups.
