The Family Dog program develops your dog's listening skills and solves behavioral problems such as jumping, barking, chewing, separation anxiety and aggression etc. If your dog isn’t doing what you want it to that is because the dog is confused. We need to learn to speak “dog”. First we must build a foundation for learning and develop it to its fullest.

Your dog will become an accepted member of your family and citizen of your community.

Program includes a home consultation, initial private lesson and 10 group lessons.

Our Advanced Training program is the natural progression to off leash training for you and your dog.  All the basics will be transferred to off leash. The off leash training will give you the added control you desire from your dog. You will be shown how to control your dog from a distance with the use of hand signals. We also concentrate the "drop on recall". Introduction to jumping.

 Who are our clients?

 Housedogs that are accustomed to a family setting. Our philosophy is that a tired dog is a happy dog  which is why exercise is such a fundamental part of our care combined with the all important rest times between. We provide for a periods of quiet relaxation for our guests. Inadequate "down time" can cause a myriad of health problems in dogs - nervousness, destructive behaviour, poor appetite, excessive shedding, etc. Our rest periods are therefore a crucial part of maintaining a stress-free atmosphere.

When they get home from vacation or just the office they can relax as the dog has already been exercised.
