Absolutely. We encourage all family members or regular handlers to be involved so everyone learns the same skills and cues.
If you plan to bring children, please let us know in advance so we can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone.

For most programs, you’ll have access to online learning resources so you can review the missed content at your own pace.

Yes. For the safety of all dogs, we require current vaccinations appropriate to your dog’s age and class type:

• Puppies: C3 or C5
• Adult dogs: Up-to-date boosters or a titre test from the past 12 month

Proof of vaccination is required before starting.

We use positive, reward-based, fear and force-free training focused on communication, emotional safety, and long-term learning.
Our approach is designed to be ethical, effective, and enjoyable for both dogs and humans.

Puppies can start training once they’ve had their first vaccination from their breeder and are otherwise healthy.

Please bring:

• A flat collar or harness
• A standard lead (no retractable leads)
• A variety of soft, high-value treats
• A treat pouch

You’ll receive full details in your pre-session Welcome Pack.

That’s okay … training is a learning process! We’ll adjust things as needed to support you and your dog. Our trainers are skilled at helping nervous, excitable, or reactive dogs learn at their own pace.

Yes. We offer private one-on-one training and family dog mediation for more tailored support.
Sessions are available at our training facility or online. We do not currently offer in-home sessions.

We love supporting long-term progress. Graduates can continue into follow-on programs or private support as their dog grows and their needs change.
