Huge congratulations to our Reactivity Program Graduates! Hard work and practice is making a difference and it was a joy to have all of you in class! Reactivity in dogs is as individual as their paw prints! Each dog has unique triggers, behaviors, and recovery processes. Remember, reactivity doesn't make your dog "bad," it means they're grappling with intense emotions. Reactivity is a journey, not a destination. Join us as we unveil the secrets to altering your dog's emotional state when facing triggers. Every step is progress, and together we'll celebrate the victories, no matter how small. Let's embark on this transformational training adventure together!
Playing with some distance! ‘Try to keep your distance’ is not the same as when we say ‘don’t step over the line!’ 😂😂 everyone did so good! Little Sadie rocked it!
Gryff is sneaking like a Pro! 🐾 Young Gryffin is learning lots and having him and his mom in class is always a fun time with lots of laughs! #yycsmallbusiness #yyc #yycdogs
Sometimes our agility sessions end with a two year playing ‘frisbee’ with one of our cones 🤷🏻♀️ Junior handlers can be two right!? 😂 In other news so proud of Sophie, she hasn’t been to the training centre since the start of summer. Look at her first session back!

When people ask if their dog is too old… They are never to old to learn! A little slower, pretty much deaf and more easily distracted, Molly is 14 years old and still loves agility! Sometimes getting them out and learning something new can bring back some pep in their step and bring back a little bit of a puppy attitude! Obedience, Tricks, Scent and Agility can be altered to be safe for any age or breed of dog!
Puppy Recall practice is the best day of the program! These two youngsters are so smart and learning lots.
Clever Puppy and Lifestyle Obedience programs start soon so make sure to check out our website for upcoming dates!

Agility Training
Demonstration Video!
Canine Connection Training Centre has upcoming dates for our agility programs.
Introduction to Agility requires no previous knowledge or experience. Our Introduction to Agility class will work on building a strong relationship through engagement and play. You and your dog will learn the game of agility by working on flatwork, handler focus, targeting, body awareness and much more so that you can be successful at agility.
For teams who have a little more experience we have a couple of programs for you!
Our Contacts and Weaves class will focus on creating and maintaining clear criteria and safe obstacle performance for your dog, and start proofing that performance with different handling scenarios.
Our Skills and Drills class will be focusing on short sequences and different handling maneuvers like front, blind and rear crosses, backsides and threadles, developing speed and distance skills as well as pinwheels and serpentines.
