Class news and reviews
Is your dog too friendly for his own good? Kind of (happily) out of control? Hard to manage? Seems to have bricks in his ears? Maybe he knows some skills, but can’t seem to show those good behaviors out in public? Are you kind of embarrassed about his behavior?
If you have a dog that’s difficult to control, but isn’t generally leash reactive (barking, snarling, growling at others) -this class is for you! This class is all the good things of our Leash Reactivity class -shifted to owners with dogs that aren’t quite Leash Reactive, but need to learn to control their big, wild feelings too.
Why? Growing skills like sit, down, stay and come aren’t going to be enough if your dog is out to lunch -you both need to learn focus and control. Without those two things, the rest of your communication gets lost out in the world. Some teams just need more focus and control than others and if typical training hasn’t got the manners you need -you need a new approach!
So, let’s get you working, learning and listening to one another. Come join us this session for our new Behavior class offering: FOCUS AND CONTROL!
For beginners four months of age and older. Encourage focus and partnership by playing. Learn sit, down, come, stay, loose leash walking and more with games-based training. Play your way to a well-trained dog.
For puppies under five months of age. Our Puppy Play to Learn class is tailored for the young puppy mind. Bridging socialization exercises and teamwork exercises with more traditional curriculum like sit, down, stay, leave-it, come, baby leash manners and every day handling, this class begins a lifetime of connection and good manners work -all through playing games.
PLEASE NOTE THIS CLASS TAKES PLACE OUTSIDE IN THE UPLANDS!
Do you have a dog under a year old who you could see yourself playing dog sports with? Dreamt of Flyball? Disc? Nosework? Agility? Or maybe you’re just looking for lots of games to tire out your young dog, and keep them mentally alert?
Whichever way you slice it, Sport Puppy is the class for you! In this outdoor, four-week course, we’ll touch on eight different sports (two each week), work on foundations that will aid you in all sports, and link you to places in Regina to continue with your sport training.
Bring your toys, treats and eager learner, and LETS GO! We can’t wait to get you started.
For beginners four months of age and older. Encourage focus and partnership by playing. Learn sit, down, come, stay, loose leash walking and more with games-based training. Play your way to a well-trained dog.
In this continuation on from Intro to Nosework, we’ll introduce you to both Pine and Thyme scents, start searching for multiple hides, make our search areas both larger, and more complicated, and take time to continue to build sticky, obvious alerts.
For this class your dog will require a harness or other “nosework exclusive” piece of working equipment.
