From basic manners & training, reactivity, to more complex behavioural issues, we are focused on not only helping you train your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with your pup!
My goal is to help owners build better relationships with their dogs.
I believe training should be fun & unique to you and your dog in order to keep you both engaged and motivated. Training is an excellent way to bond & build trust between dog and owner. Dogs require structure, consistency, guidance & a confident leader.
OBEDIENCE COURSES OFFERED
All breeds, ages and sizes welcome!
At RTWNDT we believe in delivering training in the most realistic scenarios of your day to day life. Distractions of the real world will help advance your dog’s training, engagement & focus. Our goal is to distraction proof your pup as much as possible, while receiving the best available techniques to address you and your pet’s specific needs and challenges.

BEHAVIOURAL CORRECTION
With a behavioural issue, whether it may be big or small, is important to address and work on correcting any unwanted behaviour. Unwanted behaviours can be stressful and cause anxiety for you (the owner) and your dog. From leash reactivity (dog/human reactive), fence or barrier reactivity, barking/lunging, anxious or lacking confidence. We will address when, where, and why your dog is displaying (new or old) unwanted behaviours, but most importantly how we can help eliminate/manage them. Sessions will be customized for you and your dog, depending on what they require, & how they progress. I will give you techniques tailored to your dogs specific needs. Homework will be provided & must be practiced daily, to help you and your dog succeed in eliminating/managing these behaviours.
Behavioural correction lessons are $150 + HST per lesson* Lessons are apx 45 minutes*
Behavioural correction packages:
