Private Lessons

board and train

One of Real Life Canines' training principles is:

"Behaviour first, obedience second."

Which means, if you can't walk your dog without them lunging and barking at anything and everything and acting like a woodchipper on a leash, it is a waste of all of our time and your money to work on even the most basic obedience at that point.

Inappropriate and dangerous behaviour has to be addressed FIRST. When a dog is in that headspace, it is impossible to communicate and actually teach new skills, behaviour or obedience.

Real Life Canines private lessons are different than other trainers and dog classes. There's no curriculum of "WEEK 1, WEEK 2, WEEK 3" etc. etc. or cookie cutter approaches.

Meet Payton, the Border Collie x

Rough Collie that struggles with fear and reactivity. His owner has done incredible work to help him overcome fear and build confidence.

Then when you finish, the issues you have aren't resolved or maybe, not even addressed...
That's not how Real Life Canines operates. We want the dog and the human to get the most out of each lesson.

Kodak or Cujo?

This is Kodak, when Levi first met Kodak, he was 3 years old and had SIX bites on his record and tried to make Levi the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th!

As we finished his lessons, he learned that biting people is never acceptable and his owners learned what they needed to be able to continue his success.

Each lesson focuses on your dog as an individual, addressing the urgent and most dangerous issues first and working towards long term goals. After, each lesson, clients receive homework with key points to continue training and help ensure success, as well as access to Real Life Canines training video library. I'm happy to answer questions and give feedback if you have questions about the homework so you don't use up the lessons too quickly.

As a dog trainer who believes in having ethics, my goal isn't to train your dog.
My first goal is restoring healthy communication between human and dog, next is educating and empowering you with the information, tools and, skills necessary to understand dog communication at a much higher level and feel confident handling Real Life situations with your dog.

If you would like to know more about what sets Real Life Canines apart from other trainers, here is a short article with insight into the difference between them and what we do.
