Canine Evolutions

I’ve been working with Bart at Canine Evolutions while training both my Belgian Malinois and my German Shepherd, and the experience has been nothing short of life-changing. What I’ve learned here goes far beyond “dog training.” Bart has helped me understand that working with my dogs is also about retraining myself, my habits, my mindset, and how I interpret what my dogs are communicating. His lectures and hands-on training have opened my eyes to the deeper psychology of dogs, showing me how much their success depends on the choices we give them, the autonomy they’re allowed, and the calm, consistent energy we bring to the relationship. I’ve owned dogs all my life, and while they’ve always been trained and respectful, I never truly grasped the dog brain, their cues, their thought processe

I came to Canine Evolutions not only as a dog owner, but as a professional seeking to refine my skill set. After training with Bart for over a year I can confidently say it was time well spent. The focus on the science of the dogs mind combined with behavior and a focus on the handler/K9 relationship has created a more well rounded training experience for myself, my dogs, and my clients. For those wishing to not only train thier dog or solve behavioral issues, but want a deeper knowledge of dogs and a strong relationship with thier dogs, I recommend Canine Evolutions.

"Bart, my pointer flushes birds instead of pointing them. I'd like you to help me fix that." He smiled, looked at my dog, looked at me, and said "Crawl, walk, run." And so, our journey started. Step one - Building the relationship and learning what that really means. I became immediately fascinated with the science. Actual science. Not an opinion, not some knuckle head on YOUTUBE "fixing" a dog, actual science-based techniques that Bart has used for decades. Techniques that both educate the handler and give the dog a choice. I highly recommend Bart and his program. His weekly classes are very interesting. Often times classes include client / dog interactions. The behaviors ( both human and canine ) are observed and discussed. I really enjoy this. We learn as a group and help each other to

I have been training with Bart for over 2 years. He has been instrumental in helping us with an aggressive dog and now is helping us train our puppy with early tools and behavior training. He is patient and believes in teaching the person and the dog to create a mutually beneficial and healthy environment

Bart de Gols is brilliant in his understanding of dogs and their behavior. He goes beyond obedience, teaching owners how to build real partnerships with their dogs. His insights into fear, aggression, and confidence-building are life-changing. Truly world-class!
