'Heads' up! (pun intended). We currently have no water in the building, which means no toilet. Please plan accordingly when coming to class.

Imagine, if you will, a relay race for dogs! Flyball is a fast and furious sport, where a team of 4 dogs race one at a time over 4 jumps to retrieve a ball from a spring-loaded box and then back again. The world’s fastest teams run all 4 dogs through the relay in under 16 seconds! During these courses, each element of the race will be broken down and taught – jumping, retrieving, activating the box, turns and, of course, SPEED! Flyball is a great way to burn off excess energy in your hyperactive dog.

New class starting February 2nd! https://bfdogtraining.ca/event-registration/speciality/flyball/

We will be closed for the Christmas break Dec 23rd - Jan 3rd. Phone calls and emails won't be returned until Jan 4th. Please note that you can always book private lessons, sign up for group classes, through our website during this period.

Happy holidays!

Our competition obedience students wrapped the 2024 session today with some fun and games. Here, they had to get as much water into a distant mason jar as possible, using only a spoon to transport the water! Dogs were either required to heel or to stay at various stages of the game. Lots of fun, and the floors are now very clean, too :-)

Are you and your dog interested in service to community, as a therapy dog team? Therapy dogs visit patients in hospital, seniors residences, bringing comfort and unconditional love. They can help university students coping with exam stress, or lie quietly and supportively by a witness waiting to testify in court.

Our next Therapy Dog prep class begins on Wed, Sept 18th, at 8:30pm. Completion of Beginner Obed is a pre-req.
