Private Training & Coaching
One-on-one training is beneficial for guardians who are experiencing serious problem behaviours. Problem behaviours can go on for years and can get progressively worse when the wrong approach is taken including doing nothing to change the behaviour issue.
Private Sessions
Life Skills Class
For puppies, teenage dogs and adult dogs with very little obedience skills. You’ll learn the basic fundamentals of dog training, how to correctly reinforce behaviour (no bribery!) the importance of your timing, and how important YOUR role is in the training equation.
