What Makes This Training Different

Training sessions are structured weekly to provide consistency during a stage where progress can feel uneven. Weekly sessions help reinforce skills, support emotional regulation, and prevent setbacks that can occur when there are long gaps between sessions.

Training focuses on real-life challenges such as leash skills, focus around distractions, polite behaviour at home, and reliable responses to cues like come and stay — even when emotions are running high.

After each session, you’ll receive written follow-up notes outlining what we worked on and clear, step-by-step guidance so you can confidently continue between sessions.

Support is also available between sessions by text or email, so you’re never left guessing how to handle challenges as they come up.

Investment

Training begins with an initial in-home consultation, which allows us to meet in person, discuss what’s going on, and ensure we’re a good fit before moving forward.

Initial In-Home Consultation: $160
This consultation is the only investment required upfront. During our time together, we’ll review your dog’s behaviour, routines, and goals, and discuss the most appropriate training plan for your household.

If you decide to move forward, adolescent training is offered as a 6-session in-home program, designed to provide consistency, support, and time for meaningful progress.
Sessions are scheduled weekly.

6-session Adolescent Training Program: $780 (+HST)

What to Expect from Training

Training during adolescence is calm, supportive, and force-free. The focus is on understanding behaviour, managing big emotions, and helping your dog learn skills that carry into everyday life.

Progress during this stage is not always linear, but with structure, clarity, and consistency, meaningful change is absolutely achievable.
