Minding Our Manners

Training is about more than just obedience—it’s about building trust, connection, and teamwork between you and your dog. Minding Our Manners is a five-week course that helps dogs of all ages develop real-world skills through positive reinforcement and relationship-based training. Whether your dog is just getting started or needs a refresher, this class is designed to support good habits and help you both feel more confident in everyday situations.

You’ll learn how to teach practical behaviors like loose-leash walking, polite greetings, and reliable recall—even with distractions like people, food, or other dogs around. Each session includes guided instruction, time to practice, and simple homework games to keep learning going between classes.

This course welcomes puppies, teens, and adult dogs who are comfortable in a group setting on leash. No previous training is required—just a current Rabies vaccination.

Course Details

The full five-week program is $190 + GST. We keep the same group together each week to support a comfortable and consistent learning environment. If you need to miss a class, no worries—we’ll help you catch up next time. For comfort and safety, we ask that no more than two people attend per dog. Families are welcome to rotate, and Jr. Handlers are invited to join with a parent or guardian.
