What makes the classes so special?
Most dog classes that are offered have a large number of dogs enrolled in them. The class venue is usually cramped, dogs are crowded, & may be feeling anxious. There is a lot of wait time as everyone has their turn.
I feel that small classes are much better for learning for you & your dog. I like to be able to give more individualized attention to each of you. My classes are held out in the real world where you walk your dog, go for coffee, take a stroll in the park, etc. As dogs are naturally playful, the games way of training is fun for the both of you too.
The class training is planned to help everyone learn at their own level. Just like for us humans, one size does not fit all. So instruction is tailored to meet the learning needs of owner & their dog as well. We offer education that is FUN.
What's New?... Hoopers
My dogs & I are doing a new dog sport. It's Hoopers. Hoopers is a fun new dog sport in Canada that originated in Europe. It's a low-impact activity that is easier on a dog's body. This makes it suitable for young dogs all the way up to our active older dogs. Hoopers has smooth flowing courses with no jumping. The course consists of hoops, tunnels, gates & barrels. We hope to share more about Hoopers with you soon.
