- Private Lessons $880
Our most popular program. I will come to your home or a location of your choosing at the time of your convenience. It's ideal for people who want their whole family involved in the training and best for those with busy or unpredictable schedules. It's customized and paced at your dog's learning speed.
I will meet you, your family members and perform a complete check on your dog’s background, social development, canine temperament, existing behavioural patterns and your training goals. From there we determine the best approach to your dog’s training. The first session will last 1 1/2 hours. If your dog has serious behavioural issues to solve we may spend more time discussing management techniques and less on actual training.
Typically sessions are held once a week with each session lasting anywhere between 45 to 60 mins. The trainer will work with your dog for 10 to 30 minutes followed by a practical session given to you on all the commands that your dog has learnt. You will have to work with your dog during and between lessons.

Obstacles & Tricks Program (5 lessons) $250
(Group Lesson)
Our obstacle course will provide both you and your dog plenty of fun & exercise. Learning to navigate obstacles will help your dog develop confidence, be more agile, learn to solve problems and form a firm bond with you.
Unlike dog agility where speed navigating each obstacle is of the essence, our obstacle training course is performed at the dog's own pace where safety, enjoyment & building confidence are our main goals.
The dog-walk will teach your dog to be comfortable with heights. The tire jump will give him fit, strong legs and a good aim. When he goes through the tunnels, he will realise that it's not so scary going into dark places when you coax him along.
After the obstacle lesson, you and your dog will enjoy a session of tricks and treats. He learns 2 new tricks each week and you give him treats as a reward. The tricks you will be taught are paw, hi-5, bye bye, bang, rollover, play dead, beg, balance, catch, watch me, take a bow, speak, etc.....
Each lesson will last an hour and a half.
