PUPPY KINDERGARTEN
*NEW* Classes starting up this summer!
Designed for puppies 9 to 24 weeks, our Zen Puppy K classes are a great way to get you and your pup off on the right paw! Based on Dr. Ian Dunbar's methods, our action-packed classes will help you put an obedience foundation on your puppy, plus teach him or her proper social skills and play etiquette. Contests and games, tricks and a
mini obstacle course round out this interactive class, modelled after the
ever-popular Puppy K course designed by Joan Klucha of K9 Kinship. Each
lesson is supplemented with handouts and homework sheets for the week and
comes with training supplies for your dog.

LIFETIME TRAINING PROGRAM
Our signature program, this course starts with four private in-home lessons and then moves to bi-weekly outdoor park classes. Lessons covered include: sit, down, stay, wait, go-to-place, leash walking, focus exercises, body awareness exercises, formal and informal recall, finish to heel. We offer both on-leash and off-leash methods in this program so each client is ensured that their training goals will be met. Excellent for owners struggling with behavioural problems or new owners just starting out, this course is suitable for dogs of all ages.
PUPPY BASICS
This 4 week course is designed to get your puppy off on the right paw. All sessions are held privately in your home. Focus is on understanding how to provide effective leadership; health and nutrition; house training; finding solutions for problem behaviours and prevention; and the fundamentals of on-leash obedience - sit, down, stay, come, wait and leash walking. Motivational, play-based training techniques are used. This course is excellent for clients wanting to get started on training but do not want to go the route of group classes.
SINGLE TRAINING SESSIONS and BEHAVIOURAL CONSULTATIONS
Individual training classes tailored to your needs, or in-home behavioural consultations for specific problems are available upon request.
