Essential Life Skills - $240
If your dog has some skills, but isn’t very reliable with distractions, or if your dog is brand new to training, start or re-start here. Our Essential Life Skills covers a 6 week class curriculum.
Each class is once a week for ~ 50 minutes.
Classes are limited to 6 dogs.
Recommended age 20 weeks and up. For puppies 15 weeks or younger, please start with Puppy Training.
*Dogs must be comfortable being around other dogs and people. Excited and playful is normal behavior; lunging and aggression towards others is better worked on with a private training session before enrolling in a group class. Excessive barking that cannot be curbed by the instructor may result in removal from class and referral for private training. If you have questions as to whether your dog would be benefit from this class, we'd be happy to discuss.
**All dogs must be up to date on their vets schedule for Parvo/Distemper, Bordatella and Rabies
We want to make training your dog the best experience possible, so our Essential Life Skills classes are held in a distraction free indoor environment, until you are ready for a bigger challenge. That way you, and your dog, can both focus fully on the obedience skills we teach. When you master Essential Life Skills, your dog will be able to sit, stay, come when called, walk on a loose leash, and so much more. Our trainers will even help you solve any problem behaviours your dog might have.
As your dog progresses, we continue to work on the skills and we add in some brand new challenges. You and your dog will work on your skills with some distractions in the environment, and some obstacles for you to overcome. Both of you will love conquering the challenges, because the result will be a well-mannered dog, who is mastering self-control.
