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.

To Everyone at Cowichan Canine: Cyrus & I have just finished the Foundation program and passed with Honours - phew! Along the way we were fortunate to sample several of the other courses that you offer, including private lessons for my other dog, Ricco. It was a real treat to be able to do that . I learned soooo much about my dogs; from how they react to each other, how to understand their body language, to be more patient and even what treats to provide for success. I was very impressed from the start with your on-line registration, the class sizes, the ability to work at our own pace, and even the individual water bowls. And on top of all that, each instructor offers a unique view of training so that you can get different perspectives. And of course, Andrea keeps the ship running smoothly. The time the three of us have spent with you has definitely been a worthwhile Thank you from Sherie, Ricco & Cyrus.

My darling French Bulldog Maggie has passed this course with distinction. This would not have been possible without the fine teachings of Karen and Bev. Both these ladies conveyed instructions clearly and with humour, making the hour fun and interesting for both dog and owner. Maggie and I thoroughly enjoyed the course and plan on being back for more next fall. With many thanks,
Mimi Hayes and Maggie Mc.F. Hayes
