Dog Training
Many dogs end up being rehomed due to being unmanageable or because they just won’t listen. Our mission is to keep dogs in their homes and strengthen the bond between humans and their best friends. Setting them up for success from the very beginning and working through behaviour issues, we can help you open the lines of communication and develop a wonderful relationship with your best friend.
There is no one way of training that works for all dogs. Every dog is different. We take the three principles of dog training, timing, motivation and consistency, add repetition, we create a training plan that works best for each dog/owner team.
Classes and sessions are 45-60 minutes.
Taking a dog to a dog trainer is not like taking your car to a mechanic. Your dog doesn't come home "fixed" in one session.
It's like your mechanic SHOWING you how to fix your car and you spending the next 4-12 months, fixing it yourself.
BASIC CLASSES
Basic Classes may include - target, sit, come, stay, and distraction training (listening/responding while stimulated by distractions).
Intermediate Classes
Intermediate Classes may include - loose leash walking, basic cues sharpened by combining distractions and stimulation.
PUPPY CLASSES
Start early with your pup before problems start. Begin with the basics of much-needed obedience commands that will be used throughout the life of your dog. This will also help your young puppy learn confidence as he works to receive rewards. Puppy Classes may include - socialization with other puppies, target, sit, come, stay, and distraction training (listening/responding while stimulated by distractions).
PRIVATE SESSIONS
Private Sessions may include - everything from basics skills to husbandry training (nail clipping, holding still for vet exam etc) redirection, responding while under the high stimulus, acceptable house manners etc.
l have experience with aggressive dogs. Step one is having their basic cues under bulletproof stimulus control. The next step is to expose the dog to their specific reactive triggers within the threshold in which they react. Then progressing closer as needed until the dog is controllable. It is a lot of work, but totally worth piece of mind for your family.
Board and train is available! Successful board and trains are a minimum of 4 weeks, and you must continue with the progress.
We are unable to accommodate reactive dogs for board and trains because the canine traffic through the house does not set the dog up for success.
