PRIVATE LESSONS
We get it- Sometimes a group setting isn't right for your dog or you. That is why we love to help clients one on one as well. We can customise the training to you and your dog to meet specific training goals. See below for some of our individualized training programs. Whatever your goals, we've got you covered! Unsure what would fit you best? Please reach out and we are happy to find the plan (or customise one) that works for you.
All private lessons take place at our training facility located in Central Burlington at 1153 Pioneer Road.

Private Obedience Course
$725+HST for 7 weeks
In this program you and your dog will learn everything offered in group class, but in a one on one setting (Settle, Place, Recall, Impulse Control, Loose Leash Walking, Sit, Down, Sit Stay, Down Stay and Eye contact on command.) This is a great option for dogs who don't do well around other dogs, if you are looking for the more personalized approach or if the timing of group classes is not an option for you. We are also able to address some minor behaviour issues in this course as well (excluding reactivity- Please see Reactive Rover below). These lessons generally run for approximately 30 minutes - 1 hour in length (the first few lessons are longer but get shorter as we progress and gain momentum).
Availability:
Tuesday - Thursday: 11:00am - 1:00pm
Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings: 5:30pm - 8:30pm

Off Leash Freedom - E-Collar Course
$745+HST for four lessons (includes e-collar technologies electric collar valued at $300.00)
Do you dream of your dog coming to you every time you call them? Through slowly and fairly introducing an electronic collar, you can know you will always be able to communicate with your dog and reliably have them return to you. This tool allows us to gently and fairly encourage dogs to pay attention to us. This is not done through pain (you're doing it wrong if it causes pain). A gentle tapping sensation is all a dog should feel; like a tap on your shoulder. Through this class we will first work on teaching your dog understand what a recall really is. Next you will learn the mechanics of how the collar works and how to use it. Finally we will move towards greater distractions with the e-collar in use so you may feel confident that your dog will come to you whenever you want and wherever you are. Let your dog be a dog with the freedom of being off leash!
*Please note we only use and recommend E-Collar Technologies electronic collars based on their reliability and safety.

Reactive Rover
$645+HST for four lessons
Do you have a dog who is reactive towards dogs or people? This course is designed to help you understand why dogs struggle with reactivity and teach you how to best support your dog to manage their behaviour. Our goal is to teach your dog to change their emotional response to triggers that cause reactivity. Reactivity is a very nuanced behaviour that takes time (sometimes years) to work through and each dog is different. This course will give you the first steps to start with. We will customise the course for your dog and at their success rate.
Please note:
1. Additional lessons may be nessessary depending on the severity of reactivity. The cost and number of lessons will be determined on a case by case basis.
2. We only take on a few reactive dogs at a time to ensure we can give you our full support. Therefore, space is limited.
Availability:
Tuesday - Friday: 12:00pm - 2:00pm
