For puppies under 6 months—get help with the biting, the barking, the accidents… and everything in between.
This program is for real-life puppyhood—the nipping, the zoomies, the “what do I do now?” moments.
We’ll tackle the everyday challenges that come with raising a puppy, from potty training to leash walking and coming when called.
You’ll get support for the big stuff (like socialization and preventing future issues) and the little stuff that makes a big difference—like how to handle over-excitement, set up your home, and survive teething.

Day Training
Our Day Training Programs bring professional training right to your home and neighbourhood. I work one-on-one with your dog several times a week, building skills like leash walking, polite greetings, recall, and more—right where real life happens. You’ll get clear updates and simple follow-up steps, so you’re always in the loop and set up for success. It's like having a personal trainer—for your dog!
Half Day Option
Perfect for busy households or anyone looking for a stronger jumpstart, the Half Day format gives your dog a longer, focused training block—typically 2.5 to 3 hours. Along with skill-building, we include time for enrichment, decompression, and rest. This helps your dog learn more effectively. We can also fit in neighbourhood walks, exposure to new environments, or real-world practice when needed. You’ll still get easy homework and practical tips so you can reinforce progress between sessions.
Whether you’ve got a playful puppy, an energetic adolescent, or an adult dog who needs a little polish, there’s a Day Training option that fits.
