🤔🤔🤔Testing the waters to see if there is any interest in a weekday morning LOOSE LEASH WALKING course.
The six week games-based course will be held at our outdoor location near Valentia, beginning mid- to late July.
The loose leash walking in this video was achieved through games!
If you're interested, please email us at [email protected] so we can keep you posted.
Dog training that's fun for you AND your dog!

How many times have you flipped a light switch during a power outage, even though you know the power is out? Why? Because of the countless times you've flipped that switch in the past. Now it's automatic. It's almost a reflex.
🧠🧠 REPETITION CREATES THE STRONGEST LEARNING. 🧠🧠
This is where Concept Training for dogs comes in. Through games that harness the power of repetition in a FUN, NOT BORING way, your dog can learn some super cool life skills like calmness, choosing to disengage from something they are excited about or fearful of, thinking in arousal and much more.

Better yet, register for one of our courses and learn first hand how fun and effective Concept Training is!

👉 Lessons are taught in a fully fenced ring with ample space for each individual dog/handler.
🤩🧠🤝 Are you looking for something different? A fun, innovative way to train your dog? Consider Concept Training. It's games-based which = fun. It's also based on neuroscience which = effective and science backed. Watch this video to learn more about Concept Training. https://youtu.be/BJTLcrQ8_vc

Who says you can't do outdoor agility in the winter? One jump, two barrels and no snow = agility fun! 🤩🤩🤩
Looking forward to what the future holds for this little munchkin. <3
Why use a bowl when a snuffle mat has the added benefit of providing mental enrichment, growing calmness, and slow feeding? 🤔
Perfect for both kibble and raw-fed dogs. Use freeze-dried raw for raw-fed dogs like Paisley.
What's on tonight's menu? A lickimat with her raw (canned is an option), some plain unsweetened yogurt, and a dollop of plain canned pumpkin. After all, variety is the spice of life. 😊

If you have a dog and are struggling to teach loose leash walking, you are not alone!
What if you and your dog could play fun games AND achieve loose leash walking? What if walks were enjoyable for you and your dog, and not an exercise in frustration? 🤨
When Nori joined our family, she pulled like a little freight train and had ZERO interest in me when we were outside. I would expect nothing more from a young, untrained dog.
🤩 Since then, we've come a long way, all thanks to concept training and games.
Join us for class and learn more about the power of games! 💪💪💪

Dan and Lynda Yielding purchased their amazing Huntsville property and began operating as Muskoka Agility Dogs (MAD) in 1999. Not only were Dan and Lynda welcoming hosts, but the venue is gorgeous -- a dog and dog-lovers’ dream.
All good things must come to an end, and this is no exception. 2023 is MAD’s final year in operation. MAD’s final two trials are on September 15-17 and September 22 and 23.
This year we didn’t know our September 16 and 17 trial would run on the same date as MAD’s second last trial. We don’t want to conflict with the MAD dates because this is the end of an amazing run for MAD, and we want to be there to personally thank Lynda for all she and Dan have done over the past 24 years.
For this reason, and because we don’t want to miss this opportunity, we are cancelling our September 16 and 17 trial. We’ll be at MAD on at least one of the days and hope you will be there, too. It’s truly the end of an era.
We encourage you to attend, as well. Here's a link to MAD's website. We believe they are still accepting late entries. https://muskokaagilitydogs.ca/trial-dates-and-premiums
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause for those who have entered our trial. Please check your email.
Foundation agility. Chris and Charleigh are becoming such an awesome team. 🌟
Recently, one of our students struggled with a dog who had become noise sensitive after a frightening event. Traditional positive reinforcement training wasn't helping. 🤔
She took a leap of faith and signed up for our Life Skills 1 concept-based course. She began training FOR the situation, not IN the situation. 🤩
Fast forward to week six of Life Skills 1 and she reported that her dog had successfully participated in a hunt-dog training session -- starter's pistol and all!! 🥳 🥳🥳 We love when our students see the power and real life results of concept-training.
Why not give it a try? As of May we are moving to our outdoor location near Valentia. The courses are taught in a fully fenced ring.
Classes are almost FULL. Don't miss out!
Here's what's on the schedule for May:
Life Skills 1 -- May 9 at 6:30 p.m. TWO spots left
Life Skills 2 -- May 10 at 6:30 p.m. ONE spot left
Foundation Agility -- May 11 at 6:30 p.m. -- FULL
Our Life Skills courses are a hybrid model of online video lessons and in-person coaching. Details, including the price, are in this link.

Here's a brief description of our 14-week-old Border Terrier puppy's current behaviour OUTDOORS.
➡️ She's VERY interested in the environment.
➡️ She's confident. Yay!!!
➡️ She's independent and will roam 100 feet or more away from us.
In terms of training, what should be our current focus (you can choose more than one option)? HINT: We all know that rehearsal strengthens behaviour. :-)
1) Sit/stay
2) Recall (AKA "come")
3) "Watch me" or eye contact
4) Leave it
5) Heel
6) Limit or no off-leash time -- use a six foot leash
7) Limit or no off-leash time -- use a long line
8) Use high value rewards -- either food or toy
9) Play engagement games
10) Build value for proximity (being close to us)
What makes a pro dog trainer's heart sing? 🎶 🎶 Their students' success!!! 💪💪💪
Have you ever had one of those, "Where is my camera when I need it moments?" That was me this past Sunday. It was lesson 5 of our six-week Life Skills 1 course. All but one of the students was working their dog with the leash dragging. There were so many brilliant moments, yet I'll share just two with you.
1) A 14 WEEK OLD lab puppy got within inches of another dog and turned on a dime when cued by his human. 14 WEEKS!! 🥳🥳🥳
2) Two dogs who are playmates outside of class which makes this all the more impressive, went nose to nose, then CHOSE to run back to their guardians WITHOUT A CUE!!! They made the CHOICE!!👏👏👏
These are the real-life results you can get with games-based CONCEPT TRAINING and our unique teaching model. Concept Training is based on neuro science. Dogs learn to make better CHOICES. It's not always up to you to tell them what to do or not to do. How COOL is that?
Our next session of classes at the Scout Hall in Port Perry begins on Sunday, March 19 Registration will CLOSE SOON!!!
9:00 a.m. Puppy Kinder
10:10 a.m. Life Skills 1
11:15 a.m. Life Skills 2
