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.

Step One:
I come to you and meet you in your home for the initial consultation where we review the issues you're facing or the goals that you have and the we look at your dog's lifestyle from sleep to exercise to diet, mental enrichment and more. Then we create an actionable training or behavior modification plan including changes I recommend.
Step Two:
We begin working together to implement the strategies and concepts that I'm teaching you. This can be in your home, out and about or in my training centre depending on what we're working on.
Ongoing:
Once you're happy with your progress we wrap up or you may want to have me continue to work with your dog regularly with my walk & train service where I pick up your dog and bring them back after a training session.
