Private Consults
We come to you to help diagnose the root of your dog's behavioural issues, and structure a training plan to get you to your goals. An initial consultation will allow us to get to know you and your dog, and either move into several planned sessions to see your training goal through to the end, or help you pick the right course for you and your dog to jump into.
Initial Consult: $250 | 3 Session Pack: $600 | 5 Session Pack: $950
Puppy Preschool
Essential learning for all puppies entering a new household. We teach the fundamentals, as well as providing insight into puppy behaviour and management. Puppies can catch people off guard with how intense they can be and how radically our lives change when we bring one into our homes. We teach you what you need to know to keep the early years as stress free as possible.

Good Canine Citizens
Training doesn't end with puppy school! Committing to training during your dog's development avoids problem behaviours from occurring further down the line. From cafe manners, loose leash walking and reliable recall, we help build in the skills to bring your dog everywhere and also be able to leave them at home when you need to.

The Art Of Play
No one seems to warn you about adolescence in dogs. Keeping your dog in some kind of training routine during this major developmental shift avoids problem behaviours from developing. And for the times your dog's mind simply isn't on task for training, play is our saving grace. Play is how dogs' bond with their own kind, and it can strengthen your relationship tenfold. There is an art to play, let us teach you its subtleties.

Canine All Stars
For those of you that wind up catching the training bug.
(It happens to the best of us, don't worry.)
An ongoing course where you can learn all different kinds of disciplines and even prepare for local trials and competitions! Ranging from obedience, heelwork, trick training, agility, flyball and scent work, the goal is to enjoy the process and to challenge both you and your dog.
