Enroll in the 5 week puppy course to start building the foundations! No more than 6 pups per class (Maximum of 4 puppies per class during COVID-19) Puppies have a small window of opportunity to get the most out of learning things about life early on. Dogs learn for their entire lifespan but we can help them adjust to our world easier if we can positively expose them to lots of things between 6-18 weeks of age. Attend puppy class and learn the basics to positive training. Learn what you should be introducing your puppy to and how to do it properly. Classes are kept small (no more than 6 puppies per class) so everyone is provided the best opportunity to get the most out of classes. Basic exercises and positive reinforcement training to start the puppies out on the right paw. Including: Sit & lie down on cue Responding to their name & making eye contact Nose targeting & following body/hand signals Go to bed/mat Beginnings of recall Beginnings of leaving an item Demonstrations on stays and loose lead walking, and further discussions on So much more!

Education: toilet training, bite inhibition, and understanding what's normal so we can provide guidance and guardianship.

Private One-On-One Training
FIGURING OUT THE WHO'S, WHAT'S AND WHY'S? Initial consultation is $350 for 2-3 hours. Follow up appointments are $100 for 1 hour. Sometimes our dogs (or us) don't work well in a group situation. That's o.k! During a private consultation I can visit you at home and get the full picture of how the dynamics of the household really are. One-on-one personal appointments can be beneficial to suit with the owners time restraints and availability in the busy lifestyles we lead. It can also be a great way to be able to incorporate the whole family into training and get some solid and achievable 'house rules' in place. You'll be provided specifically designed behaviour modification programs to help you and your family with the 'troubles' you may be facing and also give you some individual advice and attention that you deserve. If we can set our dogs up to succeed, they will! Why would they ever want to fail for you on purpose? It's not how they are designed to think... They think you're the best thing ever and all they want to do is make you happy... Some days it can be hard to believe but it's true... Dogs really are a mans/womans best friend. |
