Barking & Jumping Up
Barking and jumping up are two of the most common concerns owners have about their dogs – and we offer specialised and focused help for just these two issues, but general leash manners are also included in this course.
Lisbeth Plant, owner and founder of Cowichan Canine, leads this class and will show you how to handle various types of barking, including demand barking, attention-seeking barking, and barking when the doorbell rings.
You will learn to understand why your barks, jumps up on people and pulls on leash and develop the skills and knowledge to redirect your dog towards more desirable behaviours.
Please note your dog must be friendly to other dogs and people ie not reactive. We recommend our Reactive Dog Programme for reactivity issues.
To ensure lots of personal attention these classes are semi-private - limited to two dogs and their handlers.
NOTE: Two student-dog teams are required to start this class.

Just want to thank you Lisbeth and also Bev and Karen for the excellent training that Lily and I have enjoyed so much. I know Lily has enough for a pass now but we really are aiming for distinction. We are working hard at home as well to see if we can get this. Lily is so improved now. My husband says that in the mornings when he is playing ball off leash with her that she no longer runs at other dogs, she just ignores them now. I noticed when I took her to another trainer in the summer she was always panting and anxious. At Cowichan Canine she is just so happy and cannot wait to get in the door. It is her favourite place so obviously what you are doing is right and the place has great vibes for dogs. She has not reacted to the dogs in the classes either but is always wagging her tail. I am very grateful for this. We will be back in December and want to go onto greater things in advanced and we are both looking forward to it. Going to bring my other dog Cole as well.

Chewie and I just finished the Foundation Programme, with distinction, in 7 weeks. We would not have been able to accomplish this if it wasn't for the team of ladies at Cowichan Canine.
Chewie is James and my first puppy, and we were pretty clueless. Thanks to the guidance of Bev, Karen and Lisbeth we are proud of our dog, but also of the "puppy parents" we have become.
We hope to continue our education at Cowichan Canine, and we recommend the training facility to anyone who owns a dog.
And it all started with the Puppy Socialization class!
Thank you so much!
