What makes this training different

Lifestyle Skills Training focuses on real-life application, not just structured practice.
Instead of teaching new cues, this program helps your dog learn when and how to use the skills they already know — calmly, reliably, and in everyday situations.

Training is force-free, practical, and built around your daily routine.

Investment

Lifestyle Skills Training is billed at $150 per session.

Training goes beyond the home and into real-life environments, helping your dog practice calm behaviour, focus, and reliability where distractions naturally occur — pet-friendly stores, patios, workplaces, or other public spaces where dogs are welcome.

The number of sessions depends on your dog’s needs and your goals. Most clients begin with 6 sessions, with recommendations adjusted as progress is made.

What to expect from training

Progress is gradual and realistic. You’ll learn how to guide your dog through real-life scenarios with clarity and confidence, helping your dog make better choices without pressure or overwhelm.
