​Puppies are like sponges and learn incredibly fast. Being proactive and starting training early helps prevent problem behaviors before they appear and sets the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted pup. If your puppy is between 2–4 months old, I offer a discounted 4-lesson puppy package- the perfect way to get started.
​
Skills we can work on with your puppy: Crate training, sit, down, recall, place, leash manners, potty training, barking, biting, fair play, socialization and more.
​
Dogs 4 Months Old and Older
​​Individual Lesson= $90
​
Skills we can work on:​ Heel, sit, lay down, recall, place, reactivity to dogs/people/cats, separation anxiety, crate training and more​.
​
Length: Each lesson is approximately 1 hour long.​​
​
Locations: Private Lessons are available in Qualicum Beach, Parksville, and Nanaimo.
​​​Training is a commitment for both you and your dog, so it’s important to click with your trainer. The initial lesson is a chance for us to meet, chat about your goals and any challenges, and get started on training. The initial lesson tends to be 1 hour-1.5 hours long. By the end, we’ll figure out the best plan for you and your dog, together!
​
Initially, we will have lessons at locations that are familiar to your dog, such as your home and neighbourhood. ​It can be overwhelming for dogs to learn new skills so it’s best to start in an environment that is comfortable and has minimal distractions. ​When your dog has a good handle of the skills they learned, we will move on to having the lessons at different locations. This will give your dog a challenge and teach them to apply their skills in various environments.​ Your dog's training will progress to different locations only when your dog is ready.
