This is a 4 session program designed for dogs that have very little, or no obedience skills yet. This would be great for young puppies or older, sensitive dogs that need a slow and steady approach. 

Your dog will learn 3 basic obedience skills:

1. Heel 

2. Place
3. Intro to recall

Additionally, you will learn how to read your dogs body language, how to build confidence in yourself as a handler and how to provide more structure and rules inside your home. This is not an e-collar program.

This 5 session course will take your dogs basic obedience to the next level with the help of modern day e-collar training. This program is designed for dogs that already have some basic obedience and are ready for a more advanced approach. This program is not for dogs that have anxiety, fearfulness or puppies under 5 months. This is not an off-leash program.

Here is a list of commands your dog will learn:

• Heel 
• Place
• Down/Stay
• Break

This program is only available to owners that have already completed the E-Collar Basics course and are ready for advanced off-leash training. Giving your dog the freedom to be off-leash is the greatest gift you can give them and I am happy to help you achieve these goals together! Over the course of 6 weekly sessions, your dog will learn a rock solid recall around some of the most challenging distractions. The program includes a 1 hour forest hike to put your dogs new skills to the test. 

Do you have a dog that knows basic obedience but struggles with selective listening or gets distracted easily? This advanced e-collar program might be for you! Over the course of 10 weekly or bi-weekly sessions, your dog will learn advanced on-leash obedience, off-leash obedience, place training, calm on command and an overall manners makeover. 

These are the following commands your dog will learn:

1. Heel 

2. Place

3. Down/Stay

4. Sit/Stay

4. Recall 

5. Break 

*All board and train programs are designed for dogs 5 months and older

*As the owner, you are required to attend between 2 or 3 transition sessions on the last week of the board & train. (Totals 4-6 hours of hands on experience with me)

*Your dog must be comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight 

The 3-week program is my shortest and most popular program I offer. It is for dogs that need an overall manners makeover. This program is great for young dogs that need a strong foundation of obedience, impulse control and/or dogs that struggle with nuisance behaviours such as excessive barking/ jumping.

In this program your dog will learn:

• How to heel on leash
• Place (with duration & distance)
• Down/stay's (with duration & distance)
• How to be calm inside 
• Reliable off-leash recall
• Manners in public/ car

The 4-week program is designed for dogs that have a few extra behavioural quirks. You will learn everything in the 3 week program with the addition of having more time to work through building your dogs confidence and fine-tuning their behaviour. This program is best suited for dogs that have mild/moderate reactivity, fearfulness or anxiety. 

This extended program is specifically for dogs that need a full rehabilitation. Dogs with major separation anxiety, fearfulness, insecurities around people or major reactivity towards dogs or people. Your dog will not only come home with on and off leash obedience, but they will have a whole new set of coping skills to deal with their triggers and fears. 

This 7 day program is for the dogs that have already completed one of my board and train programs in the past and would like a little “tune up” for their dog. We will strengthen their skills out in the real world (inside stores, downtown, trails, patio’s, around other dogs/people etc). It includes daily 1:1 training, pack hikes, socialization with other dogs and a 2 hour go-home session with you. 

Prevention is always easier than rehabilitation so that is why I am offering a brand new 10-day puppy program. This program will help new puppies (and dog owners) create a solid foundation of good behaviour through an immersive in-home boarding experience. Whether your puppy is already showing concerning behaviours, or maybe you just need help with potty training, this program will give you and your puppy a great head-start on raising the perfect canine companion.
