Day Training

(IN PERSON ONLY)

Day training is a great option for busy dog owners who want professional help building important skills for their dog. During these sessions, I work directly with your dog to build practical behaviours such as loose leash walking, focus, engagement, and polite manners.

Because training happens in real-life situations, your dog learns how to respond calmly and reliably in everyday environments.

In addition, each package includes guidance and coaching so you can maintain and build on the progress at home.

Day training is only available in certain areas throughout Yarmouth and Shelburne County.

Who is this for? Day training is ideal for busy dog parents who are struggling with their dog’s behaviour but don’t have time to commit to regular training sessions. It can also be a good fit for dog owners who prefer a professional trainer to handle most of the training process.

What to expect:

One-on-one training without the owner involved
A personalized training plan
Detailed training reports and/or videos after each session
Ongoing support

What your dog can learn:

Basic foundational skills (sit, down, stay, and more)
Reduce or stop nuisance behaviours such as jumping, pulling, barking, and lunging
Manage herding behaviours, such as nipping
Come when called
And more

Day Training requires a one-time initial consultation to get started.

All private training starts with an initial consultation. You’ll first complete a detailed questionnaire about your dog’s history, behaviour, and your training goals. We’ll then discuss everything during a phone consultation (with in-person consultations recommended for some complex cases). Following our session, you’ll receive a written report with a personalized training plan outlining the next steps.
