NEW PUPPY!
Are you juggling a rambunctious, time consuming puppy, with work, extracurricular activities and have no time for training or to even relax?
Do you wish someone could just take your pup and hand them back to you with their foundation behaviours taught for you?
Are you going on vacation and want a safe, stress-free stay for your pup with the bonus of positive reinforcement training?
Then our In-home Puppy Board & Train is for you!
We will get your puppy foundation behaviours up and going for you, and show you how to get the behaviours so you can easily continue to keep them progressing smoothly.
Let us help relieve your frustration with puppy training and do the heavy lifting for you to set you and your pup up for success.

PRIVATE SESSIONS
We come to you!
Private coaching sessions in your home or the community as needed.
Would you like to learn how to train your dog? Do you have the time to put in the daily work to get the results you want? Then private coaching sessions are for you!
Beginning with our initial consultation, we discuss all your concerns, our dog training methods, go over how your dog is interacting with its environment and the relationship it has with the family members. We then come up with a plan specific to your needs. Training sessions are scheduled once per week. We will teach you positive reinforcement techniques to get the results you want. We teach your dog while explaining the steps, then coach you through the steps as you give them a try. We then give you written instructions of the steps for you to practice during the week.
For puppies, dogs with behaviour issues, fearful or reactive dogs or seniors.
Serving Guelph, Rockwood, Fergus and Elora
