Classes

Our puppy and manners classes have been recently updated and we are seeing dogs and owners progress through classes better than ever before! We try to offer two sets of classes every year, one starting in September and another in January.

Classes consist of a 6 week set priced at $150.00. We have multiple instructors to help you throughout the set and a large facility to accommodate multiple handler/dog teams.

We require that your dog is up to date on their parvo/distemper and rabies vaccine. Though the bordetella vaccine is not mandatory it is highly encouraged for your dog's safety.

All of our methods are positive reinforcement and they build such a great relationship with our dogs and their handlers. We see willing, enthusiastic dogs and handlers that want to continue on because training is enjoyable.

You can find the date for our next set of classes here. We run a set every September and every January.

Manners & Puppy Instructors

Growing up on a farm animals were always a big part of my life. Be it horses, cows, pigs, dogs or cats. The family dog (a border collie) would only end up with a collar and leash on when I thought it was time to play agility, even though I didn't know that was what I was doing at the time. Once I was grown and had a home of my own we decided we should have a family dog. That is when I got my Rotti X "Teddy Bear" a great companion. Once she was 4 yrs old I decided she should have a friend, we decided on a Newfoundland. Being that this new dog was a giant I wanted to make sure she was well trained. I attended my first obedience class in Saskatoon and I was hooked. We took a few other obedience classes together and I got my Rotti X into agility. Then before I knew it I had found my passion in the dog world. I now have my second Newf who has obtained his CKC Rally Novice title, his CKC PCD and continue to work for more titles.

I joined the PAKOC in 2009 when we relocated back to Prince Albert. I started assisting with classes in 2010 and love every minute of it. I have taken a Obedience instructor course in BC and trained there with my second Newf for a short while. I obtained an Obedience Instructor certification from Ben Kersen and the Wonder Dogs program and continue my learning with hands on experience and other training seminars I am able to attend. I feel it ever important to continue learning new ways to help teach people ways to enjoy their k9 companions (hairy babies) more.
