Life skills covers topics like loose-leash walking, recall, settling in public spaces, engagement around distractions, and good behaviour at home - anything that doesn't involve fear or aggression, and life skills will have you covered! 

Life Skills training empowers both you and your dog with the skills they need to navigate life with both confidence and competence. Using force-free, positive reinforcement techniques, I'll coach you and your dog so you can get to where you want to be. I will support you in having a strong bond based on mutual respect and understanding, all while you and your dog learn how to work together as a team towards your training goals.

During our first session together, we will design a customized training plan and practice key skills so you can move forward with confidence. Follow-up sessions will have us advancing their skillset, troubleshooting any challenges along the way, and adding in new desirable skills as deemed appropriate.  

• 1hr Initial Session

• Customized, interactive training plan 

• 3 x 30 minute follow ups OR a modified follow up plan to suit your needs

• Email support & follow up notes

• Permanent access to my private Facebook group! '

• Optional additional follow-ups at reduced rates

If you're seeking in-person training, I do recommend the first session being online so we can focus on creating your training plan and practicing skills without distraction. If you're open to this, there will be a $25 discount applied to your package. If you'd like to do a mixture of at-location, in-home, and/or online training, let me know and I will design a custom package based on your needs. 

Sessions can be anywhere from 1-4 weeks apart depending on your needs. We will discuss this during booking.
