Kick Start (Grade 1)

Prerequisites: None

Course Type: In-Person

Duration: 6 weeks

Cost: $265 (tax included)

Options: In-Person

Kick Start your dog’s training with an innovative new training method called Concept Training. This fun, games-based approach grows concepts that give real-life results. The games are fun for both you and your dog, so you’d never know they’re based on neural science. Playful behaviour has positive effects on the brain and your puppy/dog’s ability to learn.

Each lesson focuses on a specific skill:

• calmness

• focus

• dealing with distractions

• recalls (come)

• loose leash walking

• and more!

The course includes lesson game cards and weekly “skill up” emails.

Suitable for all ages, puppies to adults.

NOTE: Dogs who are reactive, excessive barkers or fearful of other dogs/people often struggle to learn and feel comfortable in a group class. More “socialization” isn’t the answer. In private lessons we can help you help your dog build the skills needed to feel more confident.

Confidence Rocks!

Whether you have a wee baby puppy, adolescent, adult, or senior dog, confidence is key to a happy dog!

Pessimistic dogs are the worrywarts of the dog world. They are the “glass is half empty” dogs.   Optimistic dogs are the opposite.  Novelty and unfamiliar people, animals, and situations are no big deal for optimists.

The good news is optimism is changeable!  Nurture and grow optimism using the fun games you’ll learn in this course.  Not only that, the games provide mental stimulation for dogs of all ages, which is perfect for the senior dog in your life.
