Adolescent-Adult Classes
Kick Start (Grade 1)
Prerequisites: None
Course Type: In-Person
Duration: 6 weeks
Cost: $265 (tax included)
Options: In-Person
Kick Start your dog’s training with an innovative new training method called Concept Training. This fun, games-based approach grows concepts that give real-life results. The games are fun for both you and your dog, so you’d never know they’re based on neural science. Playful behaviour has positive effects on the brain and your puppy/dog’s ability to learn.
Each lesson focuses on a specific skill:
calmness
focus
dealing with distractions
recalls (come)
loose leash walking
and more!
The course includes lesson game cards and weekly “skill up” emails.
Suitable for all ages, puppies to adults.

NOTE: Dogs who are reactive, excessive barkers or fearful of other dogs/people often struggle to learn and feel comfortable in a group class. More “socialization” isn’t the answer. In private lessons we can help you help your dog build the skills needed to feel more confident.

retrieve basics
and more!
The course includes lesson game cards and weekly “skill up” emails.

Tricks are for dogs! Trick training is loads of fun and when you think about it, everything we teach our dogs is a trick. Tricks provide mental enrichment and bonding time and when the weather outside turns frightful, tricks can help expend some of that pent up energy through mental engagement. In this course you and your dog will learn:
concept of behaviour shaping
spin, twist, bow, sleep, shake a paw and more!

Each week we play specially curated games that will help you and your dog move toward those loose leash walks you always dreamed of.
