Yikes - my dog just did ______!!
I think I need help!

No one wants their dog to start misbehaving, but sometimes it happens. Maybe your angel puppy has got some adolescent attitude, or the dog you've had for years is developing concerning behaviours. Foundations will help you get your dog's behaviour back on track, so you can get back to enjoying your time together.

You’ll also receive:

  • access to practice trackers and additional resources for reinforcing learned skills

  • an exclusive locally crafted Clever Canines hands-free leash

  • 10% off the purchase of a martingale collar and six-foot leash from Unleashed

  • benefit from 10% off and priority enrolment for Core (advanced training program)
