Basic Obedience

Make foundation training happen positively! Work on consistant reinforcement and how to shape your behaviours learned to be solid in your pups real-life experiences! We work on building skills learned in early puppy training, and taking them further, as well as teach new life skills such as loose leash skills, door manners, recalls and more! Classes offered in 3 different skill levels 101-103, and for pups 6 months of age and beyond. This is a 6 week consecutive course!

Puppy Obedience

Congrats on your new puppy! Lets start you off on the best relationship possible! This class will start your puppy off right with the foundational skills for good behaviour that will last a lifetime! Learn to clearly communicate with your puppy, and we will help you understand how they think! Along with learning how their brains work, we will learn basic foundational obedience skills, and puppy social manners! For pups 6 months and under, 6 week long course!

Scent Detection

Scent detection is a popular sport where a dog and handler work together to find and alert essential oils in a hidden location! This sport is great for confidence building, and learning to trust your dog creating a better bond! Super fulfilling for dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes! We tend to use oils based of Canadian Kennel Club and SDDA Scent

Barn Hunt

Ratting / Barn Hunt is a newer sport to Canada! Barn Hunt is a popular scent style dog sport that simulates the historical task of ridding barns of vermin. In a timed event, dogs navigate a course made of straw or hay bales to locate a specific number of live rats, which are securely hidden in aerated PVC tubes. Barn Hunt holds rat care at the highest level of consideration. The rats used in Barn Hunt are our beloved family pets. They are trained and desensatized to jump eagerly into their safe, comfortable aerated tubes and truly enjoy interacting with the dogs.

Agility

We train dogs of all breeds, ages 6 months plus in the basics all the way to more advanced agility handling skills! Agility is a great way to incorporate mental and physical stimulation in your dog, as well as create a great bond from dog to handler! We practice clean, fluent handling skills, as well as solid foundations! Our classes are about safe fun handling, not fast training! Classes are once a week and classes start beginning of each month!
