Canine Day School
2 DAYS A WEEK
SOCIALIZATION/PLAY/OBEDIENCE/ADVANCED SKILLS FOR GRADUATED DOGS
This is our most laid back training program for basic on or off-leash obedience. This program is NOT suitable for reactivity or aggression cases.
Over the years we have compiled an extensive library of training resources to aid our clients in their success. When we begin a program with someone we start with mastering the basics. Clear verbal and physical communication with our dogs is key.
First we approach the health and wellness of the dog. From there once a meaningful foundation is laid we approach the emotional state of the dog (their desires and their biological needs). This combination not only creates success but a beautiful bond between handler and dog.
Our clients are provided step by step digital training resources, in person coaching and opportunities for board and train stays for dogs who require more structured exposure.
WHAT WE OFFER
-
For Puppies 16 weeks to 6 months
BOARD & TRAIN is how we fast track your puppies social, environmental and obedience skills.
We spend each day rotating through our training dogs teaching them the following:
- Loose leash walking
- Down/stay
- Place (calm on command)
- Recall
- Social skills with other dogs
- Play outlets for their genetic needsWe send owners photo/video updates during the week. This keeps owners up to date with their dogs progress.
Once the training puppies complete their 2 week stay we do 1 of 3 human training lessons. This covers everything the puppy learned and the new training routine owners will implement when they take their puppy home from boarding.
Once a puppy hits 6 months it is time for phase 2 where we do the remaining 2 training lessons covering off leash training & any behaviour modification that is necessary to ensure all dogs mature confidently and safely.
This is when training teams “GRADUATE” to lifetime training support. You will also have the opportunity to try out for our GRC Drive Sports Club once your puppy is old enough.

PHASE 1 - HANDS ON TRAINING
Clients will all be required to attend hands on private training in this program. We encourage EVERYONE in the home who will be influencing the dog to get involved. If we are not all on the same page it can effect the success of the dog.
Lessons can be arranged weekly of bi-weekly or monthly depending on the material we are covering and our clients distance from us. Every dogs training plan will be unique to dogs needs.
We will provide you with all the necessary training equipment and resources along the way. You will be given written homework with reference videos and resources.
Once a program begins we are available at anytime for guidance, questions or extra material.
Once we have reached a point in your program that your dog is now neutral to triggers, verbally reliable with commands and E-collar trained you will be graduated to lifetime online support in our Chaos Community Group.
Phase 2 - BOARDING & TRAINING
This is in some cases added into a program once a dog is ready for more intensive training or exposure. This is adding in at the trainers recommendation.
This can be a helpful training opportunity for dogs struggling with reactivity and aggression. These stays can be anywhere from 1 - 3 week stays.
PHASE 3 - LIFETIME GROUP SUPPORT
All our graduated clients have access to this forum for the LIFETIME of their dog. This is used as a management tool to work dogs through long term reactivity/aggression issues as well as promote a solid foundation for puppies learning the world around
them.
This will also be where we post about pop up client classes and drop in opportunities when good weather allows.
We ONLY board dogs we have trained. Which means we CANNOT board dogs who are currently exhibiting outward aggression to dogs or people and will need to discuss some additional work to prep a certain dogs for this option.
If your dog has a BITE HISTORY it will also be required to have the dog fully muzzle trained to attend any group classes. Although we do not always need to have the dogs muzzled there are some circumstances it will be required. (We will provide you with homework exercises to condition your dog comfortably.)
