Our Philosophy
Lakeshore Canine was founded to provide clear, practical, and structured dog training for everyday owners. We believe effective training comes from clear communication, consistent expectations, and a balanced approach.
Every dog and household is different. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all programs, our training is individualized to the dog in front of us and the specific challenges owners face day to day. The goal is simple: help dogs understand expectations and help owners apply training confidently in everyday life.
Our services are designed for owners who want long-term results, not quick fixes. Training doesn’t end when a session is over — owner education, follow-through, and support are a core part of how we work.
Meet Blair
Blair Lowe – Owner & Head Trainer
My journey into dog training began in 2018 when I got my first dog. In 2019, after discovering protection sports, I brought home my Belgian Malinois, Zira — a turning point that solidified my passion for training and working dogs.
I went on to work as a professional dog trainer in Ottawa, gaining hands-on experience with both high-drive working dogs and family pets. I later continued my education and training experience in the United States, working with a wide range of dogs across different environments and training styles. This experience shaped my ability to adapt training methods to the individual dog rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all system.
I have over six years of professional training experience and have competed nationally with Zira, earning a PSA 1 Vice National Champion title at PSA Nationals in 2022. I am also a PSA Certified Decoy. My background in protection sports has influenced my standards, discipline, and attention to detail — qualities I bring into every training program, regardless of the dog or goal.
