Private Training
We help transform your dog’s struggles into strengths!
We work with you to determine the cause of the behaviour struggle, create a plan to manage the situation and build a training plan to turn those struggles into strengths.
One-on-One Training
Our training sessions are focused on you and your dog with a customized training plan just for your dog.
Customized to Your Dog
Each lesson is specifically designed for your dog. We take into consideration both their needs and skill level so we can meet them where they are at and progress to the next level.
Your Path Forward
Together we will determine the best way to get you to your goals. We will schedule additional lessons in either one of our programs or at private lessons.
