Focusing on a combination of essential skill-building to ensure your puppy develops into a confident and well-mannered dog. Core training goals include building a foundation of communication between you and your puppy. You will learn how to teach your puppy essential cues such as come, stay, leave it and watch me. Your puppy will develop an understanding of basic manners, while we offer positive, guided socialization and environmental exposure. Through interactive games that teach and the right tools in your hands, we will proactively prevent any fear, aggression and anxiety, as well as build confidence in various situations.
Duration - 4 weeks/60-minute sessions
Positive interactions and exposure should start as soon as you welcome your new puppy home. The way you introduce your puppy to new dogs and new people now will shape these interactions with others in the future. These sessions will take place every 3rd Sunday of the month in a secured outdoor setting on-site. During your visit, we will be blending social playtime with informative discussion on developmental stages, training tips, fear imprint periods, and solutions to common challenges faced while raising your puppy. Looking forward to seeing you at the party!
Open to puppies 8-16 weeks of age.
Minimum 3 participants, maximum 6
Duration - 1.5 hours
There is a critical development stage between 3 and 14 weeks of age, referred to as the “Golden Window” of learning. During the first few weeks of life before you bring your puppy home, interactions with littermates and the mother help puppies to become aware of their environment. Your puppy will learn bite inhibition and canine social cues. This leads to the investigative phase where your puppy will become more confident and curious, while beginning to seek interaction and learn that humans are sources of positive experiences.
In order to maintain what your puppy has learned in their early phases, I am offering a positive imprinting service that will teach you to guide your puppy now and in the future. Rather than your puppy learning from trial and error in your home, they will live on-site in a controlled 24/7 learning environment while we manage all aspects of your puppy’s training sessions and structure. When your puppy is integrated into your home-life structure, you will have in your hands an essential toolkit and understanding of behaviour and training concepts to keep the ball rolling.
Open to puppies 8-16 weeks of age.
The duration of this service is collaborated on a day-to-day, or week-to-week basis.
Rates start at $95.00 per day. Weekly rate discount available.

When you are facing specific behavioural challenges, "one-size-fits-all" training classes often fall short because they don't address the unique environment, history, or triggers of your dog. A custom-designed training program is a bespoke strategy tailored specifically to your dog’s personality and your household's dynamics.
Instead of teaching generic commands, this approach treats training as behavior modification and problem-solving.
Designed by you, these sessions will provide you with the most effective coaching and implementation strategies with hands-on guidance and refinement.
Open to dogs up to 1 year old.

Pay a one-time fee of $50.00 and size up as your puppy grows. It’s that easy! Rather than buying gear throughout your puppy’s growth periods, trade in the harness that no longer fits your puppy for the one that fits! Once your puppy reaches full size, you keep the harness and continue to enjoy stress-free walks.
Key Features
Front-Connection Design: The leash attaches to a ring located on the dog's chest. This helps redirect your dog's momentum toward you whenever they try to pull forward, naturally discouraging the behavior.
Non-Restrictive Fit: Unlike a head halter (like a Halti) or some tight-fitting harnesses, it doesn't cross the neck or muzzle. This makes it more comfortable for dogs who are sensitive about gear on their face.
Durability: It is a lightweight, durable "side harness" design.
Why Trainers and Dog Owners Love This SENSE-ible Harness
Immediate Results - quickly redirects pulling
Great for both small and large breeds
Easy to use - effortless clip mechanism for easy removal or putting on
