This class is designed specifically for our youngest pups (10-15 weeks old) to help them (and their family) get off to the best start pawsible! After getting a puppy the immediate weeks following are the most important. Things like socialization, sights, sounds, smells and introduction to people and other dogs are key for a puppy’s development. If socialization is not done properly or not at all, it can cause serious behavioural issues in the future. The goal of Puppy Preschool is to help you socialize your pup and teach you how to properly introduce your puppy to this big scary human world! We will also help you navigate through those pesky puppy behaviours like nipping, chewing, jumping up and cover topics such as separation anxiety and house training. Lastly, we will also cover desensitization to husbandry skills like brushing, teeth cleaning and nail trimming.
The goal of this class is to help create a happy, well-adjusted pup. This class does not include obedience cues. For the intro to obedience training puppies are recommended to enter our Puppy Kindergarten Class!

Basic Obedience Classes
$185 +gst for 5 sessions
Basic obedience classes teach you the fundamentals of an obedient dog and give you the foundations of positive reinforcement training. Teaching younger dog obedience will help with impulse control and hyperactivity; the end results being a more controlled, well behaved dog. This course will introduce you to food lures, how and when to use them and how to successfully wean your dog from treats once the behaviour is learned. You will also learn how to effectively use a clicker to help with training. Using these skills, you will learn how to train your dog to sit, stay, down, heel, come, loose leash walk and focus. For dogs aged 6 months and up.

Behaviour and Obedience
$225 +gst for 5 sessions MAX 4 Dogs
Are you struggling to understand your dog? Maybe your dog is timid, has inconsistent big emotions, a selective listener or fearful? Or maybe you just have no idea what’s going with your dog! Then this class is for you! This is a small group class designed to teach and help you understand more in-depth about dog behaviour. The more you understand your dog the better equipped you will be to help teach your dog! This class is not for reactive dogs, but rather to provide a safe space for dogs who may be overwhelmed in a full obedience class but are not reactive enough for a full reactive class. Learn about behavioural thresholds, trigger stacking, proper desensitization and more in order to set your dog up for success!

Do you want your dog to have the Rocket Recall? Having a Rocket Recall means your dog will come when you call him/her, everytime!

Having a Rocket Recall also means keeping your dog safe by having the ability to redirect them from dangerous distractions (cars, cliffs, unfriendly animals).
