HOW CAN I MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG?
All the elements that contribute to a well-mannered dog start with YOU. Unwanted behaviours are normal dog behaviours, but by learning to understand your dog’s behaviour and adopting a benevolent leadership role, you can replace the unwanted behaviours with the ones you desire by teaching your dog to make the right choices. My informative sessions and effective positive training methods will make the process enjoyable and straight-forward when transforming your “furricane” into a well-behaved family member that fits into your daily life.
To start you off on the right paw, I offer a Risk-Free Consultation. During our consult, we will cover:
Your short-term and long-term goals for both you and your dog
Any behavioural challenges and concerns you may have
A training package designed to meet the needs of you and your dog
Your expectations of me, along with my comprehensive overview of how to reach the results you desire
Firefly Dog Training provides a flexible and adaptable training process, allowing me to tailor my approach to suit you, your dog, and your goals. I will offer insights and suggestions to help you see improvements in your dog right away. You will also receive unlimited support, along with comprehensive training materials and my availability for the lifetime of your dog to assist you through any challenges that arise.

Firebugs ~ 8 to 24 weeks old
These flexible 4, 6 or 8-week sessions offer the vital components needed to raise a happy, healthy, and well-adjusted dog. My basic foundational program addresses various elements such as environmental exposure, socialization, handling, nutrition, enrichment games & activities, watch me, leave it, recall, sit & stay, loose leash walking and much more while forming a solid human/canine bond.
The core principles included in these sessions are essential for a puppy's development, enabling them to feel comfortable around various people, animals, environments, and experiences while learning to recognize and respond to your cues. These essentials form the basis for good behaviour and can be expanded upon as your puppy grows. You will learn to utilize consistent and positive reinforcement techniques such as praise and valuable rewards, serving as effective tools to encourage learning and collaboration.
DURATION: 60 minutes

DURATION: 60 minutes
Downward Dog Decompression
Similar to humans, dogs can develop fears related to specific situations, people, and places, often caused by genetic demeanor, displacement and/or trauma. If these issues are not addressed and understood early on, they can rapidly escalate into significant issues that worsen over time. This may result in undesirable behaviours, heightened anxiety, and even aggression. Most importantly, your dog may miss out on an enriched quality of life. These sessions are designed to assist you with your dog’s transition as it adapts to a new environment, people, and other animals. This is a critical period that can significantly influence how well a dog acclimates to its new home, enabling your pooch to reach a calm and neutral state of mind. These sessions run virtually following an in-home evaluation. Please request a complimentary consultation to register.
Fire Starters ~ Custom Sessions
Are you feeling frustrated or ready to throw in the towel? If you are looking for a focused approach with resolving, or addressing those hard habits to break, these sessions are personalized and designed by you to address any specific challenges you and your dog are facing, ensuring progress and succession while using compassionate training techniques. Depending on your needs, these sessions run from 30-90 minutes in-person, your location or mine. Please request a complimentary consultation to register.
DURATION: 30-90 minutes
