Life Skills Training
There's nothing more rewarding than having a calm, happy, focused dog. From improving off-leash work to being calm in the home and more focused on you, life skills training builds your dog's confidence while also building a stronger than ever bond between you. Private training is conducted in your home as well as out-and-about in the community with other family members involved. Together, we review the goals you have for your dog and build a customized training program.

My Training Centre
Located inside the Orangeville Fairgrounds my training centre has a large indoor space as well as fully fenced-in outdoor spaces for off leash training, exercise and social play with other dogs.
Classes
My Life Skills Class is a drop-in class offered every Saturday for clients of mine. Each week we get together to teach, practice, improve and proof behaviors that we want our dogs to know. From willingly going into a crate to settling on a mat to navigating obstacles and more. We build duration behaviors like stay, we improve recall, we teach the emergency down, staying focused during distractions and more...
Social Play Group
As well, I offer the only off-leash fully supervised unstructured play group for my clients' dogs to have the opportunity to socialize and play together safely. I ensure that all dogs are fully vaccinated, sociable, appropriate in size and play style.
