Training Classes
We are now offering group classes! Whether you just got a new puppy or you're interested in topping up training for your older dog, there's something for everyone. All classes are tailored to each individual, and small class sizes means you and your dog get the 1-on-1 attention you need to set you both up for success.
​
The following group classes are currently available:
​
1-ON-1 SESSION (1 hour, single session) - $20
We understand that a group class may not be for everyone. If that's the case for you and your dog, we are happy to book a 1-on-1 session tailored to your specific behaviour struggles. Whether you have a reactive dog, you're worried about being in a large group, your dog doesn't do well around others, or you're looking for more 1-on-1 attention during your session, we've got you covered!
​
