Welcome to Scratch and Sniff Canine Services, and thanks for checkout out our classes!

My name is Emily Fisher. I’ve been in the dog industry since 2009, and I hold certifications through two major third-party certifying bodies for dog trainers and behaviour consultants. I encourage you to read more on the About Me page.

But let’s talk about classes, hosted by Dreamland Pet in Elora!

At the bottom of this page you’ll find a button that will take you to a class request form. If there’s a lot of interest in a particular class I’m happy to run it! If you have general questions, please contact me directly through email.

Click on the name of the class below for more details on the program.

Agility Class

Obstacle courses are great for building partnership and focus as you and your dog learn how to navigate equipment together – and it’s a ton of fun!

Rally Obedience Class

“Rally-O” combines leash walking and obedience skills and puts them to work in a course made up of stations. This is a great way to teach skills in focused leash walking!

Sniffer Dogs Class

Scent Detection is a fun way to tire out your dog, and learn to appreciate the power of your dog’s nose!

Tricks Class

Tricks class is so much more than “Give a Paw” – did you know that you can teach your dog to do things like blow bubbles in water, run in a backward circle around you, go puppy-bowling, and more? Your imagination is the limit in this class!

What class do YOU want up next on the schedule?!

Let me know what class you want, and I’ll run it as soon as there’s enough participants! Just click the button and fill out the form to indicate what class you want to attend.

Classes currently run on Thursday nights at Dreamland Pet in Elora. Private/in-home training is available only in Guelph.

Let’s hang out and teach your dog cool stuff in a low-pressure, fun group class environment. Tricks are a great way to teach your dog (and you!) how to communicate effectively with each other and bond with your pooch in a way that doesn’t happen with cuddles alone! (but of course cuddles are an important part of the picture!)
