Dog Training
Expert Dog Training
Through our private lessons we provide non-traditional dog obedience and behavior modification training. Every dog has different needs and learns in different ways, our customized training style allows us to meet any dogs individual needs.
All of our programs are geared towards helping you develop a well trained, happy dog and strengthen the relationship between you and them. Learning how to communicate with your dog is an important part in raising the perfect companion and we are here to help you learn to “speak dog”.
We Offer Training For All Stages Of Life
Puppy Training
As the name suggests, this training is specifically for puppies, and it’s designed to establish a healthy, happy owner-puppy relationship, as well as to teach you and your dog the fundamentals of obedience. This training is typically recommended for dogs between 14 weeks and 1 year of age. However, we recommend starting as early as possible to prevent bad habits from forming at a young age. Your puppy will learn the basic commands of heel, sit, stay, down and place, as well as an introduction to recall and manners, such as no jumping, no biting and house etiquette. As an owner, you’ll learn about proper dog handling and dog behavior, how to deliver commands, and use reward and praise.
Dog Obedience
While obedience training is usually associated with puppies, dogs can learn at any age. In fact, training helps keep your dog’s mind sharp and offers mental stimulation and structure. Similar to Puppy Training, our Dog Obedience Training is designed to establish a healthy relationship between you and your dog and teach your dog basic commands and behaviors. This training is great for owners who have recently adopted an adult dog, but it is also beneficial for older pets who need a refresher course, or for teaching adult dogs new skills.
Off Leash Training
Once your dog has mastered basic obedience commands, Off-Leash Training is the next step. You’ll learn to control your dog from a distance, including recall, without a leash. Not only will this allow you to enjoy a hike with your dog off-leash, knowing that you can recall them should you encounter wild animals or other hikers, but it’s a great insurance policy should your dog slip their collar while walking on a busy street. Your dog must be at least 6 months old for off-leash training, and have 100% mastery of basic obedience.
Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification Training is the most sought-after dog training we offer. Our creative and personalized approach to each dog’s behavioral issues has allowed us to help owners and their dogs with leash reactivity, food aggression, resource guarding, anxiety, even dog and human aggression. Our proven methods put an emphasis on owner education, and our extensive canine behavioral knowledge and experience allow us to adjust tactics and strategy as we progress with each dog and owner. Our Board & Train program is ideal for in-depth work on most behavioral issues. However, if a dog has severe issues toward humans, we recommend the owner is involved in the process.
Board Training
When learning new habits and behaviors, dogs need consistency, and our Board & Train program provides that. Available in 2,3 and 4 week sessions, Board & Train is essentially a training camp for your dog. He or she will stay with us at our location in Courtice, ON and benefit from specialized training in a controlled setting, as well as off-site training in realistic environments. We customize each Board & Train program depending on your goals and your dog’s needs, which can include basic beginner obedience, off-leash training, behavior modification and more. The goal is to develop a dog who is obedient, confident and can follow commands with anyone, anywhere. At the end of the Board & Train program, we provide you with a private training session to learn the proper tools and techniques to ensure continued success when you and your dog return home.
