CLASSES
About Our Classes
All levels of training focus on socialization and building confidence in your dog because almost all dog bites are fear bites. In most cases this can be prevented.
We teach you to understand your dog’s behaviours, motivations, and communications.
We teach the life skills necessary for your dog to become a good citizen and companion.
We’ll set you up for success with problem prevention as well as helping to solve existing problems.

The behaviour can appear very similar in both cases. We use positive, scientifically proven counter-conditioning and desensitization to change your dog's emotional state and behaviour. Includes:
