Puppy classes
Puppy Prep-School
Price: $1 000 + HST
This class are for puppies 8-16 weeks old.
There is currently a COVID related supply issue for Exercise Pens. We will no longer be including an Exercise Pen as part of the program and we have reduced the pricing to reflect this change. We STRONGLY recommend you purchase one where available.
Turn the chaos with your new puppy into a family member who is a pleasure to live with.
Are you tired of cleaning up puppy piles and puddles?
Are you tired of hearing the kids scream that the puppy has them trapped on the couch…again?
Has your home become a giant chew toy for this new furball with teeth?
With this program you will learn how to:
teach your puppy how to happily hang out on it’s bed when your house is crazy
create a puppy that joyfully participates with you on walks and hikes
teach your puppy to cheerfully return to you when called
develop your puppy into a confident dog that is a pleasure to live with and a joy to show off
During this program you will receive 10 weeks of in-person group learning with 1 private 1:1 session for additional support to ensure maximum success.

“The fine print” We strongly recommend you purchase an exercise pen (why? to control nipping, to prevent destructive chewing, to prevent unwanted jumping, to prevent the puppy from knocking over your children and to manage barking)
The program includes a welcome package of several items. A treat tote (why? to have your puppy work for its meals, to give you easy access to rewards and a uniquely designed treat tote to easily wean your puppy off of food rewards), beef rollover (why? because SO many people ask us what types of treats we use in class. It’s actually a dog food, not a treat which is more nutritionally balanced for the dogs and the dogs LOVE it), raised cot bed (why? because we are going to teach your dog to learn to LOVE the bed. Why? It’s going to be your secret weapon to teach your dog to chill out in the house, not jump on your guests when you answer the door and give you peace in your household!), 30 foot training line (why? because you will need to teach your puppy how to behave even at a distance, not just up close to you. They are also great for going for hikes while keeping your puppy safe).
The next progression from Puppy Prep School is our Manners Masterclass which is designed to teach your dog higher level skills in walking, no jumping, recalls with distractions. This course will also prepare teams for Therapy Dog work and Public Access Training for Service Dogs. Lessons will include an Emergency Stop, intro to Co-operative Care such as filing their own nails on an emery board, FIX IT where the dog learns to untangle their own leash, recalls past squirrels along with some fun “party” games to build your dog’s reliability around distractions.
