What can my dog and I learn?
Puppy Foundation: Focuses on socialization, basic manners, confidence-building, engagement, focus and early obedience to set your puppy up for a lifetime of good behaviour. Games: Hand target, it's your choice, recall, teaching place, impulse control and tug.
Precision Obedience: Your dog will learn refined commands like a flawless heel, targeted position changes (sit, down, stand), distance behaviours, crisp retrieves, directional cues (such as going around cones), body awareness while maintaining high focus under distractions, and much more.
Rally Obedience: Is a sport of teamwork where you and your dog navigate a course of numbered signs, performing specific obedience exercises at each station.
Scent Work: Is a fun sport and training activity where your dog uses their powerful sense of smell to locate hidden target odors. It strengthens the bond and trust between you and your dog as you learn to read their body language.
