Confident Puppy
Each class is broken down into four sections:
The first part will address the four priorities of socialization, resource guarding prevention, body handling, and independence training as these skills will have the biggest positive impact on your puppy’s future behaviour!
The second part will focus on training games so that you can have fun building great foundation skills.
The third section covers those problem prevention topics that most puppy parents encounter anytime from the moment you bring your puppy home biting, mouthing, chewing, jumping on people, counter surfing, stealing objects, and digging!
The last portion of each class will cover enrichment; exploration, play, and other mentally challenging activities so that you can have a calmer and more relaxed puppy.

Private Lessons
Does your dog have a specific struggle you would like to focus on? Would you like a personalized plan and one-on-one time with me?
If yes, then private lessons are for you.
Private lessons are structured to your specific needs and goals. These personalised sessions give you the expert guidance, structure, and confidence you need to overcome the challenges you face and are designed to help you have a better life with your dog.
Using positive reinforcement and games-based training means that the learning you and your dog experience is fun, effective, and builds long-lasting results.
Whether you struggle with embarrassing behaviour such as barking, lunging, jumping up on people or you simply want to improve your dog’s basic skills, we will work together to design and implement a training plan that is customized to suit your lifestyle, goals, and your dog’s specific needs.
A three session, private lesson package is $297
