DOG TRAINING
REAL WORLD SKILLS FOR LITTLE DOGS
No two dogs are the same. Whether you're looking to build a solid foundation, improve behaviour, or achieve reliable off-leash freedom, we'll find the training approach that's right for you and your dog.
RECALL DAY TRAINING
IMPROVE RECALL . INCREASE FREEDOM .
A reliable recall is one of the most important skills any dog can learn. It keeps your dog safe, protects wildlife, other people, and other dogs, while giving you the freedom to experience more of life together. Small dogs are especially vulnerable, which is why we believe their recall should be even more dependable.
Every program begins with an Initial Session. We'll meet, assess your dog, discuss your goals, and ensure it's the right program before you commit.
Over two weeks, your dog joins us Monday to Friday for the full day, receiving two hours of training, a structured walk, time to decompress, and, when ready, off-leash pack hikes. We'll build a reliable recall using food, toys, play, and eCollar conditioning before gradually introducing more challenging environments.
The program finishes with a half-day coaching session where you'll learn how to confidently take the lead and use the eCollar in everyday life. Working together in your home, neighbourhood, and multiple real-world locations of your choosing, you'll gain the confidence to enjoy the places you've always wanted to explore with your dog.
FOUNDATIONS DAY TRAINING
IMPROVE RELIABILITY. GAIN FOCUS . GROW CONFIDENCE .
Our Foundations Day Training Program is a three-week, Monday to Friday program where your Minnow works directly with a professional trainer at our home and training location. Over fifteen training days, we'll focus on e-collar conditioning, reliable recall, loose-leash walking, place, stays, confidence building, relaxation, and the foundational obedience skills that matter most to you and your lifestyle. Each day includes approximately two hours of structured one-on-one training, walks, enrichment, and structured rest to help your dog learn, recover, and retain new skills.
Every program begins with an Initial Session. We'll meet, assess your dog, discuss your goals, and ensure it's the right program before you commit.
Designed to deliver results comparable to many board and train programs, your dog returns home each evening, allowing them to continue learning within their everyday routine. Throughout the program, you'll receive regular updates, weekend recommendations, and training tips to help maintain progress at home. The program concludes with a half-day coaching session in your home, neighbourhood, local parks, and beaches, where you'll learn how to maintain your dog's training and continue building on their success. If additional support is needed, you're welcome to book a follow-up session anytime within six months of completing the program at a reduced single-session rate.
This program is not suitable for complex behaviour issues. Please contact us directly to discuss your needs, challenges, and goals.
SHARED SUCCESS
BUDGET FRIENDLY
Looking for a more affordable way to train? Shared Success allows you to share a private training session with a friend, neighbour, or coworker and their dog at a subsidized rate. Two dog maximum.
Whether you're working on loose-leash walking, recall, place, focus, or everyday obedience, we'll tailor the training to your goals. Book a single session or continue with a series of sessions as skills progress.
We'll begin with an initial consultation and training session. During your first visit, we'll jump straight into training, giving you a feel for our approach while we get to know one another, and your goals. Together, we'll create a training plan and recommend the program & number of sessions that's right for you.
Shared Success is designed for obedience and foundation skills. Behaviour concerns such as fear, anxiety, aggression, or reactivity are best addressed through private training.
PRIVATE TRAINING
LEARN FROM US. TEACH YOUR MINNOW.
Whether you're looking to improve obedience, address behavioural concerns, or both, private training is tailored to your dog and your goals. Together we'll focus on the behaviours that matter most, from loose leash walking and recall to overexcitement, confidence building, and everyday manners.
Every program begins with an Initial Session. We'll assess your dog, discuss your goals, and recommend the number of sessions best suited to help you achieve them before you commit to anything.
Our goal is to give you the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to continue making progress long after each session, so you can enjoy more of life together.
