Online Training

Live online dog training lessons are appropriate for the same issues as in-person, in-home dog training, and can be chosen for convenience or to save money. It is particularly suitable during an epidemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, when in-person consultations are not an option.

You get the same expert training advice with our in-person training

Just like with an in-person, in-home lesson, we go through the same steps:

- Behaviour Questionnaire and analysis

- Behaviour Modification goals and priorities

- Educational materials

- Homework

Instead of practical demonstration with your dog, your instru.ctor will demonstrate with her own dog, and then supervise your copying the exercise with your own dog.

After the lessons, you will receive written instructions and educational materials as and when appropriate. At the conclusion and if appropraite, your veterinarian may receive a letter of information, outlining what we have been working on, or we may decide together that communication or consultation with your veterinarian at other times during our work together would be appropriate.

Advantages

- No tech savvy needed (all you need is a computer/ laptop/ tablet with camera and microphone).

- Honours social distancing.

- If your dog is worried about strangers, he won't be during online training.

- We can see behaviours that may not occur when there is a stranger in the house.

- You don't have to travel.

- Stay in your PJs!

- No face masks needed!

Platforms

We usually offer Zoom, but if you prefer to use GoTo Meeting, Skype, or Facebook chat, we can do that, too. => You pick!

What Clients Are Saying:

Dear Lisbeth, I have just passed my Foundation Programme with my dog Lucky. I just want to mention how much I enjoyed the classes with Karen. She was delightful to work with and I look forward to some more classes with her in the spring.

Thanks Bev, You are totally awesome and a great teacher. Thanks also to Lisbeth for her puppy socialization classes, and to Karen and Laurie. We took these classes as a condition of our breeder's contract, and we are so glad we did. It all began with your wonderful puppy socialization classes – little Fred was so happy to meet other little ones, and we learned a lot about dog etiquette and grooming. And then it progressed to Foundation where finally I could put a dog into a “down” without begging (eg our two other goldens now in doggie heaven) and could walk around the neighbourhood without the dog walking me! I think Fred is a happier and smarter puppy because of your training style. Woof woof from Fred! And a big thank you from us!
