Why choose our classes? Dogs especially puppies learn incredibly fast and group training that run once per week is just too slow of a pace for consistent progress! Our Puppy Class and Basic Manners Class not only run twice a week, they are also smaller classes lead by 2 trainers so each dog will be given the time and attention they need. Ever wondered why some dog that are "trained" can't seem to apply their training in real world settings? This is commonly the result of training programs that aren't thorough enough and do not provide the knowledge on how to advance pass the elementary level or the acquisition stage of training. Our classes will deep dive over how to refine form, latency, and speed of a behaviour, how to stretch the schedule of reinforcement in order to achieve fluency in training, how to proof against distractions and generalize the training to other environments as well as how to maintain the training. Our students will also be given "homework" after every class so that their dog can continue to advance at home, this combined with our appropriately paced class schedule leads to solid conditioning and results that last a lifetime.
