Frequently Asked Questions

Classes range from 45 minutes to 60 minutes.

We usually have 6 dogs in class inside.

We allow children in class, however we prefer them to be no younger than 10 years old. As this is a dog training class we do not have things to keep kids attention and find that most don’t want to sit still during sessions.

Currently do to COVID we allow 2 people per dog.

If you are currently training with us and have completed your Private, Day Training or Board & Train package and are ok’d to attend classes/socials, NO you don’t have to pay for them as long as you are within the 4-6 months of your package.

If you have already attended training before and just purchased the group class package as a refresher, the social class is included.

If you have not purchased our group class package and are approved to attend by being either a previous training client or in our small dog or puppy social,  YES you will have to pay $15/ class plus HST.

If at any time you feel you or your dog could benefit from “brushing up” on a skill or lesson from any previous training with us, you are welcome to purchase classes again. Our 2023 classes will be different than we have offered before.

Regardless of prior knowledge or previous training, we start all dogs in one of our training programs. Either Private training, Day Training or Board & Train. Once your dog has completed their program they will be invited to attend our classes.

We recommend people being
  • 6 ft leash
  • lots of food
  • treat pouch
  • 15 ft long line
  • Herm Sprenger prong collar
  • For younger dogs we recommend a martingale collar
  • Adult dog programs will be e-collar trained.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any of these, we have a retail store with all the recommended brands that you can purchase here. Our Private packages usually include the equipment you will require.

Our adult programs include e-collar training. Once the dog has completed training and attends classes we will be using them in class.

Testimonials

We are currently doing private lessons here and can’t say enough great things! Our puppy Roxy can be a handful but the training techniques keep her focused and are making a huge impact on her.

Shanna has been such a pleasure to work with – never once have we felt rushed out after our scheduled time with her – she answers all the questions I have with such a great attitude. You can tell she truly cares about the people and dog client.

The pricing for the private lessons are very reasonable for the 1:1 attention we get with Shanna.

Thank you again and I look forward to a long working relationship with you and our dog.

Michelle
