Day Training

If you:

• Are feeling over-whelmed by training responsibilities
• Have more intention to train than time and energy to do it
• Want to kick start your training, but need more support than coaching alone
• Have a new puppy and are feeling over-whelmed by the pressure of socialization duties
• Or maybe you just want your dog to learn new things and experience the enrichment of training while you’re at work!

… Day Training is right for you!

A certified professional trainer and behaviour consultant will work one-on-one with your dog while you’re at work, out with the kids or running errands. Transfer Sessions will keep you up-to-date and coach you on how to maintain and apply your dog’s new skills in day-to-day life.

Day Training takes place in your home, in parks, in your neighbourhood – where you need your dog to respond! A review of your concerns and goals will allow us to lay out a schedule that best suits the assessment.

Day Training can address:

• Puppy needs, including socialization experiences
• Manners and Obedience, such as pulling on leash, recall, general distractibility, learning basic obedience behaviours
• Enrichment and “brain training” to give busy dogs a productive outlet

What Day Training IS:

• A quicker route to the training results you want to see in your dog
• A certified, professional trainer/behaviour consultant will work directly with your dog to help you reach your training goals
• Giving some leg work of training to a professional while you work on application and maintenance in day-to-day life
• Transfer Sessions will teach you the skills your dog has already learned and will keep your dog’s training on track

What Day Training IS NOT:

• It is not a dog walking, pet sitting or potty break service
  • Your dog will have opportunity to relieve him/herself, however scheduling will be based on trainer availability
• It is not a total escape from all training responsibilities
• It is not a suitable service for management-intensive or owner-directed problems (e.g. separation anxiety, owner-directed aggression, or management-based issues of housetraining, etc.)  See Private Training options in the main menu.
