Obedience

More than your average obedience class. 

In our Functional Obedience classes, we begin to develop a language that both you and your dog can understand.  We learn the foundation of manners and obedience, how to prevent and manage undesireable behaviours and help YOU develop an understanding of basic canine behaviour and communication.  We cover the basic obedience commands:  come, sit, stay, down, heel.  We also cover a wide range of more "functional" commands: leave it, move, drop it, stop, stand, walk nicely, etc. etc. etc.

Functional Obedience II is a continuation of Functional Obedience I.  Here, we focus on more advanced obedience skills and work at incorporating the 3 D's: distance, duration and distraction.

AGILITY

Learn something new, have a laugh, get some exercise AND bond with your dog.

All of this as you teach your dog to crawl, roll over, make circles, catch a treat from their nose, jump through hoops, go through tunnels, retrieve, reinforce obedience, go under, bow, play dead and so on.

Walking Workshop

Do you wish that your dog would walk nicely and be well-behaved while out walking?

If so, then this intensive workshop is for you.  You will learn how to take control of your walks and teach your dog to walk nicely on a loose leash with no pulling, lagging or sniffing.

If your dog is very reactive, whether to humans, other dogs or bicycles, we work with you both in order to teach you how to understand, manage and control that reactivity.

the loose leash walking technique.
