Training Services

The training we provide focuses on the human-canine connection. These services are inclusive to dogs who have behavioural issues, regardless of severity. Our training methods are both play and relationship-based -which means we focus on curating the bond between dog and handler, teaching obedience/skills, and modifying behaviours through play. Our specialty and passion is in rehabilitating dogs with trauma and behavioural issues such as aggression and reactivity, but we also love to train pet dogs to be outstanding companions, bringing them to their full potential.

We offer free evaluations, as well as behaviour modification programs, private lessons, board & train programs, group obedience courses, and puppy classes.

SKILLS WE WORK ON

Each training program is created to fit the unique individual needs of each dog and owner. Together with our head trainer, you will discuss the goals you have, and create a training plan to meet them. Some examples of the skills we work on are:

•Obedience on and off leash (sit, down, stay, place, heel, loose leash walking, recall, etc.)

•Proofing behaviours with distractions, going for outings to public parks, stores, streets, etc.

•Teaching neutrality with other dogs, people/kids, and livestock.

•Fix problem behaviours such as jumping up, mouthing hands, chasing wildlife, destruction, etc.

•Training for human/dog aggression and reactivity

•Desensitization to being handled/restrained (cooperative care) for vet visits and grooming

•Confidence building

•Mental stimulation (puzzle games, interactive toys, one on one games)

•Postive grooming experiences (bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, nail trims, blow drying)

•Specialized playtime (flirt pole, tug, spring pole, slatmill, bikejoring), and play with other dogs when appropriate. We can also teach you how to meet your dogs’ daily needs mentally and physically.

It is important to note that we can not change the genetics of a dog – we can not turn your livestock guardian into a golden retriever, or your working line german shepherd into a shihtzu. All dogs have a personality, inherent genetic traits, and physical attributes that come together to form who they are. Our goal is to bring out the best in your dog, and make sure to appropriately tailor their training to align with their natural abilities and needs.
