Look Through Our Training Classes

Pee Wee
 
For puppies up to 12 weeks of age, it is important for them to learn strong life skills such as crate training, house training, nipping etc. If families are having issues with training life skills then we can set up a private lesson. The lessons work on any skills and behaviours that families may be having with the puppy. We will be doing hands-on practice so you are comfortable knowing how to train the puppy through the different skills and to correct the behaviours. The puppy manual is included with the lesson. The lesson is booked around the training class schedule at the training hall which is located at 1595 Victoria St. N. Kitchener.

Younger dogs who are doing well with learning the puppy skills are invited to register for the Level One classes as soon as they have had their second booster which is given at approximately 12 weeks of age.
 
Level One
 
For dogs 12 weeks and older, this seven week program continues to build your dogs confidence and social skills. The foundation of this training is to develop a great family pet through important obedience skills. The dog learns strong listening skills and response to name, how to walk on a loose leash, how to greet people properly, sit and down stays, how to walk at your side, and to come when called away from distractions. The course also includes a problem solving segment to address any issues that you may be experiencing.
 
Level Two
 
The training continues to strengthen the foundation established in Level One. Allowing you to raise your expectations as your dog's skills become stronger. In addition, you will be introduced to such skills as a solid interaction between you and your dog through retrieving drills, jumping drills and verbal control.
 
Level Three
 
The enjoyment of training carries forward into Level Three as you challenge your dog's skills. The primary objective is to work towards verbal control which will enable you and your dog to enjoy some great leisure time together. Included with the exercises are verbal control around distractions, jumping drills, retrieving drills and hand signals.

 
Rally Obedience
 
Upon completion of the Level Three training, Rally obedience is a fun and exciting way that continues to increase the working relationship between you and your dog using the obedience skills from the training classes. The program will teach you and your dog how to perform the different obedience movements, skills and exercise needed to run through a course. Any dog, purebred or mixed breed can participate and compete in this sport.
 
Obstacles
 
So you have completed all three levels of our family dog program and you are ready to sink your teeth into something new like obstacles. Obstacles will teach your dog to have the confidence walking a teeter tooter, jumping through a tire, moving through weave poles and walking over an A-frame. As the confidence increases, the obstacles are sequenced together into courses.

Please note that after a couple weeks in class if a dog continues to lack social skills with people or other dogs, they will need to complete their training in a specialized private lesson..
