Behaviour Evaluation SessionIf in doubt of which of our training services would suit your dog the best, private training or classes, we offer a Behaviour Evaluation. If you are that are interested in our Reactive Dog Programme, Day Training or Board & Train, this evaluation is compulsory. The Behaviour Evaluation consists of - One 20-30 mins Zoom session, where we go through a 16-page Behaviour Information Form that you will have completed ahead of time; and - One 20-30 mins in-person session, where we meet your dog and assess his or her behaviour with other dogs, people or other triggers. - We then discuss and decide together how we can best help your dog based on our findings and your time and budget constraints.
Once we receive your payment, we will send you the Behaviour Information Form and contact you to set up the two sessions.

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.

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!
