Meet Renée – Owner of NayNays Puppers

Hi, I'm Renée, the owner and founder of NayNays Puppers Dog Training & Treats.

My journey into dog training and homemade dog treats began with my own dogs and a passion for helping dogs and their people build stronger, happier relationships. What started as a personal mission to better understand canine behaviour and nutrition quickly grew into a business dedicated to supporting dogs through science-based training and healthy, homemade treats.

At NayNays Puppers, I specialize in positive reinforcement training that focuses on clear communication, trust, and lasting results. Whether you're raising a new puppy, working through unwanted behaviours, improving loose leash walking, or building better everyday manners, my goal is to help you and your dog succeed together.

Alongside training, I create small-batch, human-grade dog cookies made with simple, quality ingredients and no artificial preservatives. Every recipe is developed with the same care and commitment I bring to my training programs.
