Puppy Fundamentals
Our puppy classes are all about building a solid foundation through fun, engaging, and effective training. We'll help you set your puppy up for success during those crucial early months—while strengthening your bond along the way.
You’ll work on the essential skills such as: focus, sit, stay, come, leave, drop, place, down, loose leash walking and luring.
We'll teach you about proper socialization techniques, body language and other important puppy topics. Our goal is to set you up for success in real-world situations.
Each week builds on the previous with hands - on practical work, clear guidance, and time for questions. You’ll gain confidence, your puppy will gain skills, and you’ll connect with other puppy parents who are right there with you.
Fun, supportive, and practical—this is puppy training that works.
We'll add in games and work on your dogs impulse control and making the right choices.

Taking the Lead - Level 2
Sometimes the difference between a dog who knows a behaviour and one who can perform it anywhere comes down to the missing links in training. This class is designed to find those gaps and connect them.
We’ll focus on strengthening engagement and building your dog’s ability to work with you—even when distractions are present. Through targeted exercises and real practice time, you’ll learn how to keep your dog focused, responsive, and confident in more challenging situations.
This class is an important stepping stone toward L3 – Real World Ready, our outdoor training level where we take the skills you’ve built and apply them in real-world environments like parks, plazas, and busy public spaces—continuing to strengthen and bombproof your dog’s training.

Real World Ready - Level 3
This level is where training meets the real world. In L3, we take your dog’s skills beyond the training space and practice in everyday environments such as stores, parks, plazas, and markets.
Working in these real-life settings helps strengthen focus, reliability, and communication while navigating distractions like people, dogs, noises, and movement. The goal is a dog who can stay calm, responsive, and connected to you no matter where you go.
This level is all about refining skills in real world settings, building confidence, and creating a dog you can truly enjoy when out in the community.

Off the Leash - Level 4
This level is all about building the trust and reliability needed for safe off-leash experiences. We focus on strengthening recall, engagement, and responsiveness while gradually increasing distance, distractions, and freedom.
Through structured exercises and real-world practice, you and your dog will learn how to stay connected even when your dog has more independence. The goal is a dog who can enjoy freedom while still choosing to check in, respond when called, and move with you as a team.
Level 5 is where training, trust, and communication come together so your dog can explore the world with confidence and freedom.
