jumpstart
Two weeks to get on track or just have fun!
It’s never too early, or too late, to start working with your dog. jumpstart is just that – a way to advance your relationship with your dog through education and hands-on activities. In fact, many of our clients say that this program changed their relationship with their dogs literally overnight!
Within two weeks, this program will teach you the basics of canine psychology and behaviour, as well as basic obedience. We’ll help work through your specific issues and challenges. This group class environment supports and encourages you to see the potential your dog has to be a companion that you can take anywhere.
Here’s how it works.
This program starts with a 2.5 hours of online videos and lessons which set the foundation for understanding your dog: why they behave the way they do, and how we may unknowingly contribute to their behaviour.
A few days later, a series of four, 1.5 hour hands-on sessions with your dog puts into action the lessons learned at the seminar.
You are sent home with homework assignments between each class. You also have access to video recaps of each of the major skills taught during your class so you can ensure your practice at home is correct. This also is a great help if not all family members can attend the in-person session.
Each class progressively builds upon the skills learned. Reinforced by your practice, new habits begin to form almost immediately, which helps you develop the pet you have always wanted.
This class is an intense 8 hour program condensed into 2 weeks, designed for maximum benefits in the shortest amount of time. This session goes beyond the basics, showing you how to teach your dog to learn any command by respecting your dog’s learning process.
