Obedience

All foundation obedience training is done privately.  Like us, dogs learn new skills much better when not subject to major distraction.  Once a solid foundation is in place, we begin proofing the dogs skills under heavy distraction.  This creates truly reliable obedience, and a trusting and respectful relationship between dog and handler.

BOARD AND TRAIN

Don’t have time to train?  Let us do it for you. We offer day training, as well as long term board/train.  The custom training provided, specifically targets the goals you have for yourself and your dog.  The sessions are 1/2 hour in length, twice daily.  Upon completion, we conduct a 2 hour consult with dog and owner, to ensure your success moving forward.
 
$105 per day (GST) included.
