Private Training
Private Walk & Train
Private Walk & Train
Private training will take place in your home (and yard). We will venture out into the neighbourhood and other locations that suit the training goals, such as trails, stores, town etc.
I will work with you and your dog 1:1 on puppy socialization and training, basic manners around the house, life skills or specific behaviour problems such as anxiety, fearfulness, leash/dog/people reactivity, prey drive, resource guarding and so on.

Private Walk & Train
A Walk & Train is me taking your dog out. Your dog will get exercise but also get some focussed training on the life skills needed. I'll take your dog to the area most suitable, which could include a trip to a store or other types of environments. A Walk & Train is also an option for dogs that need some additional socialization to different environments and experiences or have some form of reactivity. It gives you a break and gives your dog a change of pace as well.
Mediation
Group Training
Group Training
Sometimes you may just need a change of perspective, some tweaks to make to your dog's environment or routine and some strategies dealing with particular behaviours. This in itself can already make a big change for the better.
Mediation is a great option to get advice on behavioural problems but also for supporting a rescue or shelter dog in their transition into your life. You will get a tailored report with management strategies, coping tactics, do's an don'ts and some games or exercises you can do.

Group Training
Group training programs are available at various locations. You will be working and learning with your dog in groups of 4 to 6 dogs.
Every session we will tackle some concepts and play games and do exercises to practice the skills you need. You can continue to work on the next levels using handy recap flyers for each of the things we worked on.
