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.

My little dog, Tilly and I have completed our Foundations course and I would be remiss if I did not express how wonderful the experience has been. I was so impressed with the organization of the programme and Lisbeth’s knowledgeable and friendly staff. I particularly liked the fact that you could book class times online when they suited you. I adopted Tilly at 5 months and knew that she had had very little socialization and training. For consistency I chose to stay with one instructor, Paula. One can tell that she is very passionate and knowledgeable about her job. I found Paula to be excellent at demonstrating and explaining the tasks at hand and she showed patience and understanding with me as Tilly and I learned together. It also helped that Paula had a good sense of humour and gave us positive feedback and praise when it was often needed. Sadly, there were no “treats” for owners but I would take another course with Cowichan Canine in a heartbeat!

I have taken my Pembroke Welsh Corgi through Puppy Classes, The Foundation Programme, Starters Agility and we are now in Advanced Agility. The overall results have been excellent. Reba is now competing at Agility Trials and will soon move from Starters there to Advanced. Lisbeth, Bev, and Karen helped immensely along the way, but Reba's Agility success is solely due to Jody. She is amazing in so many ways - knowledgeable, patient, able to adapt her communication to different clients at different levels beautifully, and so much more. She is encouraging and Reba runs to see her when we attend class. A big Paws Up to Jody and CC.
