Get your fur baby started off on the right paw with puppy training in Coquitlam and Port Moody

Welcoming a new puppy into your family is such an exciting time, and we’re here to help you with each challenge along the way.

Our puppy classes are designed to provide all the essential early socialization a young puppy needs, as well as prepare their humans with the knowledge to raise a happy, healthy dog you can enjoy for years to come. These classes include:

Structured play
Socialization with people, dogs, surfaces, sounds, household items, and more
Enrichment
Games
Tips for behaviour problem solving/prevention

Each class will incorporate all of the above while we explore the following topics:

Attention - learn how to get your Captain Distraction to pay attention to you in and outside of the home.

Manners and More - establish appropriate boundaries with your puppy while addressing nipping, mouthing, leaving objects alone when asked and learning to be comfortable being handled by you when needed.

Get Set for the Vet - set your puppy up for success with learning to be comfortable for vet exams, a necessary experience in every dogs life. These classes will touch on vaccine preparation, grooming conditioning and comfort being handled for exams and grooming appointments.

Explore and Discover - Your puppy will explore our adventure zone while you learn how to guide your puppy to explore new objects and environments with ease and confidence.

Every Day Skills - basic skills are important for those everyday situation where you require your puppy to navigate the world around them with you. Some of the things we will cover are waiting until released to go explore or play, laying down when it’s time to settle and standing up and waiting to be brushed, harnessed or towelled off.
