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:

Hello Cowichan Canine, We thought you might enjoy an update on Sigrid. We went to the Port Alberni Sanction Match. We are so thankful we did Puppy Start Right and are in Foundations 1. The training really pulled together in this environment. Sigrid experienced crating, grooming, strange people touching and examining, strange dogs, a new place with strange acoustics, angry dogs, scared dogs, new commands, and a show lead. Her socialization has given her confidence in spades! She handled it all like a champ and she truly enjoyed herself as we were hoping she would. We could not have done this without the foundations training to settle and also to pay attention in a distracting environment. It was helpful for her to be used to coexisting next to other focused dogs without greeting. Thank you so much for all she is learning. Cait & Jess

Hi there, Ed and I are doing pretty good. The vet is tackling his some health issues and Ed seems to be much happier overall with summer being here. He's even willing to roll on his back and let me rub his tummy now which I think is a good sign of our improved relationship. Anyone I talk to about Ed gets a big recommendation from me regarding Cowichan Canine. I sing your praises every chance I get since I know that I would be in a pretty bad situation without your help every step of Ed's development. Thanks so much for all the education that I needed and all of the fun times as well
