TRAINING DAYS

THE FORMAT

A focused training rhythm

Professional work during the day, practical follow-through at home.

More repetitions. Less disruption.

Your dog trains in a structured environment through the day, then comes home so you can practise the same skills in the place they matter most.

01

TRAIN

Focused sessions throughout the day

Multiple training periods are balanced with rest, giving your dog time to learn without being mentally overloaded.

02

TRANSFER

Weekly coaching for you

Go-home sessions show you what your dog has learned and how to use the same communication at home.

03

PROOF

Skills around real distractions

Training progresses beyond quiet drills to build steadier responses around dogs, people and everyday environments.

THE TRAINING DAY

How it works

A full training day, then home at night.

Your dog works through an individualized plan based on the evaluation. The week is designed to build clear foundations and then carry those skills into more demanding situations. We take just two training dogs at a time, combined across day training and board & train.

AM

Arrival, settling and foundation work

MIDDAY

Rest, handling and focused skill sessions

PM

Proofing, structured activity and pick-up

DAY TRAINING PROGRAMS

Three program levels

Match the schedule to the goal.

The right level is recommended after an in-person evaluation. Program pricing is discussed once your dog’s needs and training path are clear.

LEVEL 01

Advancement Program

For dogs that need stronger foundations and more consistency with everyday skills.

Schedule: 2 days/week
Length: 4 weeks
Focus: Foundation skills

LEVEL 02

Progression Program

Build recall, proof known behaviours around distractions and introduce e-collar conditioning when appropriate.

Schedule: 3 days/week
Focus: Reliable responses

LEVEL 03

Performance Program

The most intensive day-training option for advanced reliability, behaviour modification or sport goals.

Schedule: 4 days/week
Focus: Advanced progress

All programs begin with an evaluation. Final recommendations depend on the dog, goals and owner commitment.

YOUR ROLE

Owner involvement

We start the work. You learn how to keep it going.

Day training is not a hand-off-and-hope program. Your participation bridges the gap between the training environment and everyday life.

01

Weekly go-home coaching sessions

02

Homework and pre-recorded training videos

03

Video review and ongoing trainer support

04

A two-week follow-up session after the program

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU

Who it is for

More support than lessons. More home time than board & train.

Day training can suit busy owners who want professional momentum without having their dog away overnight.

  • Busy owners who still want to be involved
  • Dogs needing consistent daily repetition
  • Recall and distraction-proofing goals
  • Fear, reactivity and over-arousal
  • Advanced reliability and off-leash work
  • Owners ready to follow through at home

Our guarantee

DRAFT — for Shanna’s review. Guarantee text copied verbatim from the FAQ.

I guarantee that I will give you the knowledge and skills you need to have a well behaved dog. It is the commitment and cooperation of the owner, household, environment and the health of the dog that I have no control over and therefore cannot ethically give a guarantee.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

Start with clarity

Meet first. Choose the program second.

The evaluation looks at temperament, behaviour, current skills and the way you work together. From there, you will get a recommendation for the best-fit path.

What the evaluation covers

A focused 60-minute, in-person session at the Endeavour K9 facility.

  • Your dog’s temperament and behaviour
  • Current training and baseline skills
  • Your goals and household routine
  • Whether day training is the right format

Dogs over five months old need an evaluation before entering a training program.

Build the foundation here. Bring the progress home.

Start with an evaluation and find the day-training schedule that fits your dog’s needs and your goals.

Day training programs start at $2,195 + HST. Final pricing depends on your goals and length of stay.

Wonderful service and such helpful advice when I decided to make the switch from kibble to raw. Thanks again Shanna!
