What are group classes?
Group classes are a fun way to learn new skills with your dog. It provides a social learning atmosphere where you can meet like-minded dog owners and share your experiences as a class. Each group meets weekly at their designated time for in person instruction with the expectation that the behaviours are practiced at home between classes. Skills build from week to week.
Why choose group classes?
Group classes are an affordable option for dog training, as well as providing a social aspect for you and your dog. They provide you with key skills to help your dog succeed in life and help you build a better relationship. Not all dogs are suited to group classes. If your dog tends to be excessively noisy or nervous around new dogs or people this may not be the correct choice for you.

Puppy Foundations
The Puppy Foundation Program focuses on puppy behavioural education. The program sets the framework and expectations for your new family pet. The program is designed to redirect bad behaviour and prevent problems before they begin. The goal is to equip you with the tools you will need to continue to work with your puppy as they grow and mature into becoming a well behaved dog.
Reactive Rescue
Helping your dog to overcome reactivity is all about providing clear communication and a strong relationship. In this class, we will help you strengthen your relationship with your dog to ensure that your dog not only loves you, but also values you and looks to you for guidance and support. Regardless of why your dog may be acting this way — fear, anxiety, over-excitement, etc — a relationship is critical when working to eliminate reactivity or aggression towards other dogs or people.
