WORKSHOP: Confidence Building

Is your dog:

- worried about new places or new things?

- easily stressed?

- sensitive to noises?

- "not interested" in training?

- shutting down?

- generally nervous or timid?

BUT NOT reactive to dogs or people?

Then this workshop is for you!

We have developed a series of specific exercises that will be tailored to your dog's level of confidence (or lack thereof!) in each case, in order to:

- BOOST CONFIDENCE!

- INCREASE ENTHUSIASM!

- STRENGTEN YOUR BOND!

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 8 dogs.

What Clients Are Saying:

I found COWICHAN CANINE by accident. It was the best accident I ever had. CC above all has made me a better and more aware pet owner. They have opened my eyes farther than I thought I could see. I am grateful for my new knowledge and grateful That my puppy/dog will have the best education to guide him through his life happily. Thank you Lisbeth Jody Glenda Stephanie and especially Nancy for immediately catching my errors.

Louie and I just completed the Puppy Start Right program with Stef at Cowichan Canine, and what a fabulous experience. PSR covers all the basics, with carefully curated play sessions, exposure to various sounds and things from our human world, training tips, and lots of practical advice. Stef is kind and very experienced and has helped me to remember that these crazy first months of puppyhood - with the constant vigilance, all the peeing and biting, and the early wakeup calls - will pass, and is just part of the journey to a well-trained socialized dog. I will always remember how Louie passed out in the car on the way home from class: happy, tired and snoring ever so slightly. Thanks Stef, I cannot imagine doing this without Cowichan Canine.
