At Daytripper Dog Training we teach you how to train your dog. We feel that it's important for you to develop the skills to teach your dog desired behaviours because, after all, it's you that lives with your dog. The methods we use are all positive, but don't confuse that with permissive. Dogs need guidelines and boundaries. Let us help you establish what works best for you and your dog whether it's your new puppy, your family pet or your canine athlete. |

Intermediate Obedience
This course is for dogs that already know the basics (see the description of our Beginner Obedience course). We’ll now take your dog’s training to the next level, working on off-lead heeling, ‘free-walking’/walking on a loose leash, down at a distance, ‘around’, more advanced focus work, stand/stay and more. Good off-leash control is required in order to participate in dog sports such as agility, so this is an excellent course to take as a precursor to dog sports.

Trick training is so much fun but when you think about it, everything we teach our dogs is a trick. Sit, down, come and heel are tricks just as much as spin, rollover and scratch your nose. It’s all a trick but some are just more fun to teach our dogs.
There are no pre-requisites for this course; even young puppies can participate. As with all of our classes, dogs must be friendly when meeting new dogs in order to participate in a group class.
Start dates/times: TBD

Rally Obedience (Novice)
This course is taught using the Canadian Association of Rally Obedience (CARO) rules.
Rally Obedience is a dog sport that you and your dog can do for fun or for competition. In Rally Obedience dogs and their handlers maneuver courses made up of the Rally Obedience “stations” (or signs). Each station requires the dog and handler to complete a specific behaviour and then move on to the next station. Using basic obedience skills dogs and handlers will learn all of the Novice level stations during this course. Whether you plan to compete in Rally Obedience or not, this is a fun, positive activity for you and your dog, and a great way to keep working on your basic obedience skills.
Prerequisite: Daytripper’s Beginner Obedience course or an equivalent course from another training facility.

Real World Dog Training
Have you ever found yourself saying, “But he does it at home”? This is a common lament that we hear from our students. Once you practice at home it’s time to take the show on the road, so to speak, by training in a real world situation. Not sure how to go about this? Do we have the class for you! Our Real World Training course is taught outdoors and we cover all the basics such as sit, down, come and walking nicely on leash. For those dogs that already know the basics, there is a twist. The twist is that the training is outdoors on grass. We’ll introduce a whole new set of distractions, the kind of distractions you’ll encounter with your dog on a daily basis in the real world, and we’ll help you learn to deal with those distractions, taking your training to the next level.
Daytripper only offers this course from spring to fall, so don’t miss out on this unique opportunity. Please note that because the class is outdoors we may postpone class due to rain and then we’ll continue with classes the following week for a full set of six classes. Because of this, start dates listed below may change. Please contact us to confirm start dates.
Our outdoor facility is just east of Valentia. We’re 15 minutes south of Lindsay, 20 minutes north of Port Perry, 30 minutes from Uxbridge, Blackstock and Sunderland, and 40 minutes from Brooklin. It’s worth the drive!
Start dates/times: SPRING 2012
