WORKSHOP: Barking & Jumping Up!

This workshop has been so popular, that wef. Aug/Sep 2022, we will offer it as a class under our General Classes Programme.

A two-hour workshop to teach you how prevent barking at triggers such as the door-bell or people walking past the house or yard, and jumping on people.

NOT for dogs that are reactive to other dogs or people!

This workshop is heavy on both theory and practice, but understand that you won't fix it in two hours. You will need to continue applying the protocols you learn when you get home, where your dog has been practicing the behaviour much more than he/she has at Cowichan Canine. How long it will take to fix at home will depend on how long your dog has been practicing barking/jumping up and how well you are able to consistently implement and practice the protocols,

IMPORTANT: Students that are new to Cowichan Canine will be required to sign a liability waiver upon arrival and provide documentation for their dog of vaccination for parvo and distemper, no older than 3 years, or titer test no older than 12 months. Without this documentation, your dog cannot enter the premises and your fee will be forfeit.

Limited to 4 dogs.

What Clients Are Saying:

I sincerely want to thank all the trainers who worked with us on training our newest member of the family, Mila. Actually it was training us but we won't admit to that!! We had the privilege of working with Karen, Jody, Glenda, Bev and Lisbeth in our Foundation Classes. Every trainer took an active role in helping us achieve success. We felt that they were as excited with our small steps towards success as we were! The training program was so well laid out with the book, clickers, backpack and superb teachers that it made it easy to be successful if you were willing to put in the time. It also made it fun! There is a saying "it takes a village or community to raise a child". We think the saying could say "it takes Cowichan Canine to help raise a dog". We are now hoping to continue with agility classes and maybe even try the scent class. Thank you again

Hi Lisbeth, Just wanted to let you know Wylie’s emergency recall works! We came across two unleashed dogs on a hike yesterday and he went over the edge unfortunately- tore the leash out of my hand and ran away into the woods. I took a tumble in the process and by the time I got up he was out of sight. Pulled out the whistle, called him repeatedly and after what seemed like ages he came to me! We will never leave the house without my whistle ad sardines…thank you so much! Marika
