Raymond Gledhill

Deerfoot Meadows, Calgary

Raymond Gledhill apprenticed and was associated with a local dog training company in Calgary from 1983 to 1991. During this period he was exposed to many facets of canine training including personal protection, narcotics, pipeline detection, service/therapy dog and PSD (Police Service Dog) training as well as most aspects of companion canine training. He also gained extensive exposure and training in canine behavior management. 

He continues to attend seminars, workshops and train-the-trainer programs on an on-going basis.  He has received instruction from internationally recognized trainers such as; Anne Marie Silverton, Rudy Drexler, Johannes Greve, Cheryl Smith, Chris Bach, Ian Dunbar, Jean Donaldson, Gary Wilks, Pamela Reid, Patricia McConnell, Roger Abrantes, Turid Rugaas, Brenda Aloff, Brian Donovan and Brian Kilcommons as well as attending numerous other canine and training related workshops and programs.  He is well read and versed in many aspects of dog training and behavior theory and continues to remain current in most related areas.

He has operated his own dog training and canine behavior management business in the Calgary area since 1993 and has developed the concept of Lifestyle Learning and Lifestyle Behavior Management Training Techniques and Programs designed specifically for companion dog and family pet owners.

He has presented workshops and lectures on Canine Management and Behavior through the Calgary Board of Education / Chinook College as well as to private groups and organizations and has appeared as a regular guest on local radio shows and Critter Care segments.

In February 2001, he was selected by the Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) to provide the local training and support for their satellite Puppy Raiser Program when they expanded this program into Calgary. (BACKGROUND: PADS provides Service Dogs for recipients with disabilities other than blindness. Their Puppy Raiser Program requires the volunteer puppy raisers to ‘foster’ and provide basic obedience and ‘public access’ training to the potential service dogs during their first year prior to being returned to the Training Centre in Burnaby, BC for the Advanced Service Dog training segment.) Ray volunteered his time to provide the required formal training and structured support to the Puppy Raisers and puppies at the local level up until 2008.

He was approached in 2010 to set up dog training and behaviour support services for Petland Canada is currently an enthusiastic member of their fast growing Pet Services Team.
