NOVICE GROUP OBEDIENCE CLASSES
Instinct Canine Training offers small group obedience classes for any age of dog (it is never too late to start!). Lessons are held in Burlington. These classes focus heavily on teaching yoru dog to be calm and well behaved in the home and (the life saving) "Puppy, Come!". You and your dog will also learn the basic commands of Sit, Down, Look, Lose Leash Heel, Sit-Stay, Down-Stay, Impulse Control and Place. These classes are informative and fun for both you and your pup. Each class will build on the skills we have learned previously so there is continual progression. Our training style is based on balance. Using both positive rewards and praise, but also how to address disagreeable behaviour and not just ignore it. Learn to use rewards effectively to ensure commands are followed, but not be a treat dispenser! You will also learn how, and when to step in to say "No" and when to reward the behaviour you want. The focus of training is not only for obedience, but also to develop a relationship with your dog. As this relationship grows, you will have a dog willing to follow you anywhere and make you proud to show them off!

WALK WITH ME WEDNESDAY (PACK WALKS)
Clients who have trained with Instinct Canine Training are now invited to join us for pack walks. This is the ideal situation to socialize any dog of any age! This isn't a play session. This is a learning experience to walk calmly around other dogs. Dogs learn by observing others, so this is a great option for those with dogs who deal with minor reactivity. This is not open to the general public. All dogs must be approved for attendance by Instinct Canine Training to ensure the safety of all. We are looking forward to walking with you!
