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!

Dear Lisbeth,
Those of us who are devoted dog owners are fortunate to have this gem of a facility here in the Cowichan Valley. These qualified, experienced, good humored and kind-hearted ladies have been so helpful to this “experienced” lifelong dog family with hell puppy Radar. New insights and practices prove you can teach these old dogs’ new tricks. And a program so reasonably priced too. It’s not that often these days you get such value for your dollar. Really. These last couple of months have been fun watching our little land shark morph into a loving and disciplined member of our family. We have so much respect for Karen, who worked with us in our Foundation training, with her amazing lengthy qualifications and down to earth sense of humor. She’s such a fantastic teacher! Our little grad Radar will now enter into her graduate studies - Scent Detection. Such Fun!
Thank You
John, Joanna, Rosie and Radar Blaszczyk

Hi Lizbeth, Stephanie and Glenda:
Thought you would like to know, we took Dalli to the Duncan market on Saturday morning. She was a perfect lady, walked around with her tail wagging and held high all the time. She was friendly and outgoing to other people, and sniffed other people’s hands and let them pet her when we stopped to talk or purchase things from the different stalls. We then walked over to the Garage for coffee, sat outside and again, she was well behaved, let people pet her and she was actually licking their hands. This was her first outing in a busy people environment as we usually just leave her in the car or at home when we go out shopping.
What a difference from a year ago when you first met her. Thank you, thank you!
We’ll see you in the fall when we come for the agility courses.
(Dalli was adopted a year ago from Mexico, and was fear-aggressive to people coming to the house.)
