Puppy and Adult Dog Training Classes

Welcome to our Training Classes!
Our goal is not only to teach you and your dog valuable training techniques, but more importantly, to prevent problems, create good manners, and help you resolve any behaviour challenges you may be experiencing.
Our methods of training use non-physical aversives or corrections. We utilize hand signals and voice commands along with tools such as reward markers, lures/treats and real-life rewards to teach. We believe in establishing manners and leadership with trust and respect and not with any form of fear, pain, force or intimidation.
We apply the learning theories of positive reinforcement, negative punishment, counter conditioning, desensitization & classical conditioning. We do not practice the theories of negative reinforcement and positive punishment.
Exercises are taught in the presence of a variety of distractions including other dogs and their handlers. Class sizes range from 4-6 dogs per class. We keep our classes small to allow for safe distancing, plenty of working space and individual attention. We will not overcrowd!
Our training classes are scheduled for the amount of time necessary for proper learning. By ensuring the appropriate number of weeks for a class, you and your dog have plenty of time to work through your exercises. We will not rush you through a course!
All classes include detailed step-by-step manuals that are easy to follow. The level one manual will not only guide you through all exercises taught in class, it also includes solutions to behaviour problems that you may experience with your dog. During each program, free phone and email support is also included.
Looking forward to working with you and your dog!
