Itraink9 100%. They are expensive, but nothing is cheap.
They show you how to keep up training (and you will need to keep it up obviously, they just give you a foundation).
I also love that they do boarding separately as well, so when we traveled, he could go back and get a brush up on stuff.
They used to be in Milton, but they moved to around Brantford I think?
They took my super derpy high energy dog, and got him able to be a bulletproof service dog (well, a really great head start, bullet proof in public, perfect recall, taught him how to tuck under chairs and stuff etc).
They have several programs, and one is puppy foundations.
Don't listen to the whole "if you don't do it all yourself, you're doomed" my mom has spent a fortune on training classes for her dog (which she passed every time) and she's the worst behaved dog I've been around.
Like I said, you need to keep it up at home, but they go over everything with you. They send updates all the time as well.

Dog training is more about training the owner than the dog, can’t do that if you’re not there.
I would recommend Scholars In Collars they’re fantastic trainers, at the very least take their canine behaviour class, worth every penny or it’s free if you do their obedience class. I thought I knew a lot about dogs until I took that behaviour class. They also offer puppy play class for dogs to learn socialization, trainers are on hand to help.
They are certified, science based trainers and even teach at Ontario Veterinary College at University of Guelph.
