Focuses on how to approach and greet new dogs, how to correct leash aggression and other protective behaviours, and for the happy-go-lucky dogs that are so excited to run up and sniff other dogs that it scares them away, we'll teach them how staying calm will make the other dogs want to come over and meet them.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
To get the most from these programs, class attendance is VERY IMPORTANT. If you must miss a class, we will allow flexing into another class of a similar level if possible. However, all regular classes are usually booked to capacity and it is difficult for us to absorb additional dogs into other classes. It may be necessary to schedule a private lesson with a trainer. It is $35 for a ½ hour of private training or $60/ hour for this service.
There is a minimum of 4 dogs required per class - if the registration does not meet this quota, the class will be postponed until a later date.
