Based in Edmonton, Alberta—with a primary operational footprint right along the St. Albert boundary—Nurtured Canine has established a stellar reputation as a premier mobile and localized dog training provider, serving pet parents throughout the greater Edmonton metropolitan area. Founded by Melissa Lulashnyk, an International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) certified trainer, the company was born out of real-world frustrations and a deep, personal commitment to understanding canine behavior.
Melissa’s journey into professional training began when she faced steep behavioral hurdles with her own dog. Dissatisfied with mainstream methods that yielded little to no progress, she made the life-changing decision to step away from her traditional career path, immerse herself completely in hands-on canine education, and take control of her dog’s rehabilitation. This firsthand experience of watching a frustrated dog transform into a confident, responsive companion ignited a passion to help other local families facing similar roadblocks. To hone her craft at the highest level, Melissa traveled south to attend the renowned Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers in Santa Rosa, California, in May 2018, followed by further specialized education through Primal Canine’s intensive shadow program in Morgan Hill, California.
Operating in a bustling urban and suburban landscape like Edmonton comes with unique challenges—from navigating high-distraction public parks and busy neighborhood pathways to dealing with long, harsh winters that can alter a dog’s routine. Nurtured Canine addresses these environmental hurdles through a highly flexible, mobile service model. Instead of forcing clients into a sterile facility, Melissa brings the training directly to where life actually happens. Whether meeting clients at their homes, local fields, or neighborhood streets, she curates customized private lessons, foundational puppy programs, and structured board-and-train or pack socialization options designed to “proof” behaviors against real-world Edmonton distractions.
At the core of Nurtured Canine’s philosophy is an unwavering commitment to transparent communication, structural consistency, and a strong bond-building framework. Melissa works extensively with owners to demystify complex behavioral issues—ranging from severe leash reactivity, anxiety, and aggression to basic impulse control and reliable off-leash recall. By teaching pet parents how to read canine body language, master proper timing, and maintain clear leadership, Melissa ensures that the success achieved during training translates into lasting, harmonious relationships at home. Backed by her golden retriever, Kevin, and a genuine dedication to the Edmonton community, Melissa continues to transform overwhelmed dog owners into confident handlers, empowering them to take their well-behaved canine companions anywhere they go.
