Dog training services

The mission of Poise Dog Training is to offer professional help in addressing and positively modifying your dog’s unwanted behaviours without the use of fear. Dog training is a critical part of creating – and maintaining - the balanced and obedient dog with whom you want to share your life and home!

Dog behaviour consultation

The behaviour consultation is conducted in your home and will last 1 hour approximately. You present the problem and I will identify the cause. I will then help you understand why your dog is misbehaving, and I will demonstrate the methods needed to modify your dog’s behaviour. Following the consultation, further advice can be acquired via phone or email and follow-up sessions can be arranged.

Dog obedience training

The initial 60-minute obedience session will be conducted in your home, where I can get to know you and your dog and begin training. Poise obedience training covers a broad array of commands that every dog should know. Some of these commands include the following:

Attention to name, recall, sit stay, down stay, lead training. If you decide to continue with one-on-one Poise obedience training, 1-hour lessons can be scheduled in your home, before progressing to a local park or public setting.

Puppy training

In this 2-hour session we will work on all common puppy issues - including chewing, hand mouthing, nipping/biting, toilet-related problems.
