Board and Training
Your dog will stay in my home in Casselman rather than in a kennel environment, allowing for a more personalized and integrated training experience. Each program is customized to the dog and family. Training may include manners in the home, obedience, leash walking, off-leash training, socialization, and behaviour modification for issues such as anxiety, fear, resource guarding, reactivity, and aggression.

Follow-up sessions take place at your home or in other relevant locations to help transfer the training to daily life. Programs also include email and phone support between sessions, as well as access to group classes and walks.
