Are you looking for a West Kelowna dog trainer? Look no further! Catherine Adams, from Take The Lead Dog Training, is available for classes and one-on-one training programs in Kelowna’s Westside and Kelowna.
Dog Training Classes
Catherine Adams from Take The Lead Dog Training currently offers a couple different group training classes in West Kelowna, B.C. Currently, we offer 2 foundational classes: Life Skills, and Puppy Right Start Class
Life Skills
Our Life Skills class focuses on basic manners for your dog such as: down, stay, eye contact, leave it, go to mat, and more. This class is perfect for puppies, teenage, and even adult dogs. You’ll learn how YOUR behaviour plays a big role in the success of your dog’s training and how to use positive reinforcement to reach your training goals.
Life Skills 2.0
Our Life Skills 2.0 class takes the foundation you worked on in Life Skills and builds on it. You will learn how to pull back on the reinforcement aspect, and not see the desired behaviours fade. You’ll continue to work on loose leash walking, stay, and recall. This class is the perfect next step after you complete our Life Skills class. If you are in West Kelowna, and would like to see this class offered in your area, please reach out through our contact form.
Private Dog Training in West Kelowna
Take The Lead Dog Training also offers several one-on-one dog training programs for clients living in West Kelowna. These private, one-on-one programs include:
- Right Start Puppy Program
- This program is perfect for new puppies, and especially when they’re still young – before 16 weeks of age. You will learn basic training techniques that will help build the right foundation for your pup. You will learn how to prevent destructive puppy chewing and nipping, and give your puppy more confidence as they grow.
- Good Dog Program
- The Good Dog Program in West Kelowna tackles more difficult behaviours like rushing the door, uncontrolled barking and leash pulling, or the first signs of aggression and fear. It is comprised of 6 lessons and is great following my Puppy Right Start Program.
- Happy Dog Program
- The Happy Dog Program is a 4 lesson program that is perfect for dealing with minor behaviour issues by starting to train both your dog and yourself behaviour modification techniques.
- Online Consulting
- This is a great alternative to an in-person, in-home training program. This Wellness Program will help give you renewed clarity and direction if you’re feeling overwhelmed. I will provide ideas and techniques to prevent unwanted behaviour from occurring.
- Training Fear Aggressive Dogs
- If you have a fear aggressive dog, I know everything you’re going through. The embarrassment, frustration, tears, anger AND the contemplation of giving up your beloved dog. I can help you build a more enjoyable life for your fearful dog and walk them without reactivity and fear.
- Private Training
- All private coaching is designed specifically to your dog and your concerns. You’ll receive ongoing support, handouts and summaries after lessons, with the option of video lessons for review between lessons to fine tune your training application.
About Catherine Adams, West Kelowna Dog Trainer
I believe in working as a team, collaborating to reach the training goals you’ve set for your dog. I strive to empower you with more information and skills, so you can train your dog and enjoy the life you imagined when you brought your dog into your life.
I train dogs using a proactive approach that doesn’t cause fear or use force. That means I reinforce behaviour, help the dog have a clear understanding of what I’m asking him/her to do, and I strive to keep the dog feeling safe and free from fear – setting both of you up for success!
