Group Training - All Levels

Our classes are positive reinforcement, motivation, and rewards-based training sessions with a focus on solving real-life dog training challenges. The BabyDog trainers are here to help you and your dog learn to communicate well and get reliable results, and our group classes are the perfect way to do it.

We keep our group sizes small, which means you get the benefits of socialization, but without the stress that comes from a large group. This is a great opportunity for your canine companion to learn the basic commands, or more advanced skills in a controlled environment, while still learning to focus in while there are minor distractions.

Group Behaviour Modification Program - $349

Are you struggling to walk down the street with your dog due to their barking, growling, and/or lunging on leash? Is their behaviour interfering with your quality of life, and theirs?

This five-session group program is designed for dogs experiencing anxiety, over-arousal, and reactivity.

  • We will use a holistic approach that addresses lifestyle, stress, exercise, socialization, and training, to create a calmer and more confident dog.
  • You will gain a deeper understanding of reactivity, stress, over-arousal, body language, and various management techniques.
  • We will set up situations that allow your dog to learn relaxation and emotional regulation, to create positive new habits.
  • You will receive a comprehensive booklet to follow as we go through the course, weekly homework assignments, in-class demonstrations, and opportunities to rehearse your dog’s skills. 
  • You will also receive access to our behaviour modification Facebook group.

Important Information

  • Cost for the five-week Group Behaviour Modification Program is $349
  • This is a five-week program with a set curriculum, classes are 45 minutes long, once a week for five weeks (we will skip any holiday weekends)

However, if you’re not sure whether this program is right for you and your dog, please contact us to set up a 30-minute consultation before registering.
