Puppy Training


First Paw Forward

At All About Dogs, we believe positive reinforcement training is the best way to create a happy and confident dog who understands what is expected of him. Training should begin as soon as your new your new puppy arrives in your home.

Our "First Paw Forward" program is designed to take advantage of the young dog's early learning and socialization period and is open to pups 10-18 weeks old. We introduce the basic commands, such as sit, down, off, come when called, settle on a mat and preliminary leash walking. You will learn to avoid common puppy problem behaviours by developing your dog's self control and ability to focus and respond to you around other dogs and people. The class routine also includes the opportunity for the puppies to socialize in a safe and controlled environment before being ready for interaction with other dogs out in the parks. Our classes are small to ensure plenty of individual attention.

The class runs for six weeks with a one-hour lesson per week. The group is limited to six dogs and the cost is $205 plus HST.
We also offer ongoing training classes to keep your young dog on the right track to becoming a well-behaved pet who is welcome in your family and the community.




Puppy Agility Class

This class is open to puppies four to seven months old, who can join as a follow up to, or in conjunction with, the puppy socialization and training program. In this class, your puppy will continue to improve upon the basics: sit, down, stay, focus and impulse control. Emphasis will be on improving your puppy's confidence and relationship with you through toy training. This teaches the dog to play appropriately with you even around other dogs. Puppies will also be introduced to restrained recalls, target and trick training as well as to low level agility equipment, such as: tunnels, planks, tippy boards, and ladders.

The class runs for six weeks with a one-hour lesson per week. The group is limited to six dogs and the cost is $205 plus HST.
