These two (very stinky!) dogs enjoyed lots of swimming and rolling in seaweed, saltwater, and sand at the beach today!

Every dog should have the freedom to have days like this where they get to simply be a dog and get gross, even if it does mean a mandatory bath after! For us, training specifically for a combination of off leash manners and public skills and safety mean that my dogs are allowed so much more freedom than they otherwise could have without being intrusive, and nothing makes me happier than to enjoy this carefree time we get together!

Reach out today to work together on how to achieve this same freedom to your own dogs!

Drat enjoyed his first trip to Canadian Tire this afternoon! Practicing the skills that make a dog a pleasure to take into public spaces is extremely valuable for dogs of any age. There is one more slot in my Public Skills class starting on Wednesday the 30th for anyone last minute interested!

Training for off-leash skills, especially using quality ecollars, allows our dogs to have experiences like this and enjoy new locations alongside us safely and confidently like we want them to be able to!

Here are my personal dogs, River and Drat, enjoying a weekend away in New Brunswick getting to run and play in the waves and sand at a beach because of the freedom our training together allows them!

Class will run on Sundays in the Truro area from October 4th through November 1st (skipping the 11th for Thanksgiving!) from 3-4PM. Time subject to change with advance notice.

The cost is $200 / dog for 4 weeks.

This is a class best suited for dogs with a little or more basic obedience, but who need to improve their handler engagement and ‘trail dog skills’ so they are better able to join their handlers in the outdoors safely, reliably, and respectfully. Because of the nature of a group class, all participants will be able to use each other as practice distractions during training!

Dogs with reactivity will be admitted on a case by case basis. Please reach out directly for recommendations!

Homework will be given as practice between sessions.

Some skills covered include:
~ Recall
~ Down
~ Stay while others pass by
~ Proximity to handler
~ Overall handler engagement
~ Neutrality to distractions / triggers in the environment
~ And more!
Individual goals will be discussed and worked towards as possible.

No dogs will actually be off leash in this class, but all dogs and handlers who complete this class will receive 50% off their first private ecollar session with me if they choose to continue on to true off-leash obedience!

Do you need help correcting your dog's undesirable behaviour, creating new behaviours, or working towards a training goal together, but want the convenience of staying in your own home and don't want to break the bank?

With Truro Dog Training, you get 6 years of professional dog experience working with reactivity, aggression, basic obedience, offleash obedience, scentwork, and more, all out of your own home! I believe that the best way to see a dog's natural behaviours are in their own home environment, so I come to you for all training sessions unless another location is preferred.

With just a $25 initial evaluation fee, we can get to know each other and come up with a training plan before ever committing to a large package price! After that, each session maxes out at $100 or lower depending on what we are working on together.

Truro Dog Training is currently booking weekday evenings and midday private in-home sessions, as well as some time during the weekends! Just fill out the form linked below and / or visit my website found here on facebook or on google under Truro Dog Training for more information or to get started!

Place training is by far one of the most valuable things we can teach our dogs, especially young puppies or high energy breeds!

Place training allows us to teach the skill of settling, both physically AND mentally, so that our dogs are able to calmly coexist without constant interaction, engagement, or management.

This allows them to have more free time in the home and not have to be crated or otherwise put away nearly as often, letting us spend more time with our dogs!

I am currently booking for weekend and weekday private sessions in your own home for more information and how to get started!

Introducing ‘Remme’s Goldenrod Gamble’ call name Dratini!

This guy has been a long time coming, and I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to raise him alongside River and I.

I am beyond thankful to his breeder for her trust in me, and I have a lot of plans for him! But for now he is just living his best puppy life getting to know River and I and our life together.

Stay tuned for all of the puppy raising chaos!

Class Highlight - Puppy Class

This is the fourth of a series of upcoming class highlight posts which discusses what each class will be covering, who the target audience is, and when it will be available! All of this information is also available for all upcoming classes on my website here: https://sites.google.com/.../truro-dog.../group-classes

This class is open to any dogs between the age of 16 weeks and 6 months who are fully vaccinated. This class will be run outdoors in a group setting, so it is of the utmost importance that all puppies have received all vaccinations and are not at risk in this setting! Focus will be placed on socialization, exposure, grooming comfort, confidence, and more to create a well-rounded adult dog in the future. This is not a puppy play group, but will allow for some healthy, structured interaction between puppies as the class progresses that will build healthier adult social skills and play later on.

Length: Once a week for four weeks

Capacity: A maximum of 6 dogs per class

Cost: $200 per dog

There is one upcoming Puppy Class session available for registration today right here! https://forms.gle/EwCvDh7ZosAvbaXe6

Class Highlight - Foundation Obedience

This is the third post of a series of upcoming class highlight posts which discusses what each class will be covering, who the target audience is, and when it will be available! All of this information is also available for all upcoming classes on my website here: https://sites.google.com/.../truro-dog.../group-classes

Foundation Obedience

This is a level 1 class focused on learning the basics of obedience training (primarily sit, down, place, leash walking, and basic recall) in a group setting, and is ideal for any dog 16 weeks or older. No prior skills are required, and individual goals can be discussed in class! It is not ideal for reactive dogs, who are recommended to take the reactive dog class instead.

Length: Once a week for four weeks

Capacity: A maximum of 6 dogs per class

Cost: $200 per dog

The Foundation Obedience class is well suited to dogs who are new to training or should get the chance to start from scratch. It is also well suited to dogs with some understanding but who struggle to translate their skills to more challenging environments than in the house. It is a great beginner course to get started!

Please note that if you have a young puppy and are looking for puppy basics and socialization / exposure, the puppy class instead of or in addition to the foundation obedience class may be a good option!

There is one upcoming Foundation Obedience session available for registration today right here! https://forms.gle/EwCvDh7ZosAvbaXe6
