Private Instruction with a Personal Trainer ~ starting in a low-distraction, low stress environment gives the best chance for you to learn your instructor's method, and for your dog to quickly experience success! 

Distractions, including people and other dogs in real-world environments, are systematically introduced to maximize learning while minimizing stress for you and your dog.

 Personalized Sessions at your home, scheduled at your convenience are given to teach you how to train your dog.  Between each session you and your dog continue with daily practice sessions.
 
Programs Are Tailored with regard to your dog's temperament, training history and your training goals.
 
You Will Learn to use techniques that enhance your dog's thinking and learning ability, and build confidence and trust in you with positive leadership methods.  No choke chains or prong collars are part of any program. Training is based on catching behaviours as well as creating opportunities to quickly teach your dog success by positive reinforcement.  You can learn to use the consequences of your dog's active choices to teach what works and what doesn't - and training becomes a team effort, with minimal stress to your dog.

 Your Dog Can Learn to respond to your wishes while satisfying his/her drives.  You can teach your dog to "resist" distractions without the use of threat. 

Programs start your puppy as early as 7 weeks of age - the perfect time to start your puppy off to a good start.  Basic and Advanced training is available.  Behaviour counseling is available at your home - a history, diagnosis, and treatment program is developed to resolve problems, such as: various types of aggression, phobias, barking, jumping, hyperactivity, separation anxiety, chewing, house-soiling etc.
