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.
To ensure lots of personal attention these classes are semi-private. Therefore, classes are limited to two dogs and their handlers. We start this class as soon as we have two people signed up.

I sincerely want to thank all the trainers who worked with us on
training our newest member of the family, Mila. Actually it was
training us but we won't admit to that!! We had the privilege of
working with Karen, Jody, Glenda, Bev and Lisbeth in our Foundation
Classes. Every trainer took an active role in helping us achieve
success. We felt that they were as excited with our small steps
towards success as we were! The training program was so well laid out
with the book, clickers, backpack and superb teachers that it made it
easy to be successful if you were willing to put in the time. It also
made it fun! There is a saying "it takes a village or community to
raise a child". We think the saying could say "it takes Cowichan
Canine to help raise a dog". We are now hoping to continue with
agility classes and maybe even try the scent class.
Thank you again

Our little Frenchton, Blaze, graduated from the Foundations class today with Honours. The training we received was top notch, excellent quality, and fun. We appreciated the often humorous comments thrown into our training from Karen and Stephanie, as well as the clear, easy to understand aspects of this training program. We have already introduced Blaze to Scent Detection and Agility and will continue on with these in the fall. We truly appreciate the care and commitment our instructors gave in the training of our Blaze, and of ourselves! Who knew we had so much to learn, too! :) Thank you, Karen and Stephanie! We will definitely be referring others to Cowichan Canine.
