The Picknell family sends our best wishes to all of our clients for a very happy new year! We hope you've been as well-rested over this holiday break as Willow* and Ivy, and look forward to seeing you all in 2024!

*resting, for Willow, means digging holes in the backyard thanks to the snow melting... as evidenced by her dirty paws!

Another lovely Saturday lesson at Houlahan Park! We're really in love with this location - with the perfect balance of quiet and distractions (herding dogs *love* the passing trains), we've had a wonderful time training in this park all summer long!

Until then, we'll be posting at on Instagram (as well as this page on Facebook) about our upcoming group classes, pack walks, private training, and more. Follow us for cute dogs pics!

Want your dog to learn how to watch your body language and make perfect turns? Join our next group class - at the basic, pre-novice, or novice obedience levels - starting on March 21! These will be our final indoor session for the season, with outdoor classes returning in May. Group walk announcement to come this weekend! #ottdogs #ottawadogtraining #ottawa #myottawa #613dogs #613dogsofinstagram

Class is back in session! We returned to teaching our indoor Basic, Pre-Novice, and Novice levels of obedience at Southpointe Community Centre last week. Watch as Brian and George demonstrate a perfect sit for our Basic class! #dogsottawa #613 #myottawa #ottawa #613dogs #613dogsofinstagram #ottdogs #ottawadogtraining

Our Advanced Class took the first step towards learning to leap this week! This mix of Pre-Novice and Novice students learned how to jump with their dogs, trying to center them over the obstacle as they hopped over it together. #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

March into Fall with our next set of group classes - join us on September 10th or 12th for basic or advanced obedience! Already graduated from our basic program? Reach out or sign up for the newsletter to hear first about our FREE September group walk! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Con-grad-ulations to Charlie and Millie for completing their Walk and Train program! Their owner is now able to walk both dogs at the same time, and is having so much more fun taking them out every day! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Happy National Puppy day, everyone! Hope you and your pups are all celebrating with plenty of treats and training! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining

Tomorrow is the start of our final group classes of 2021! With Winter fast approaching, we will not be holding outdoor sessions after these final 6 weeks. Our 6-week programs teach you basic obedience and animal behaviour so you can better understand why your dog does what (s)he does. We still have limited spots available for tomorrow in Barrhaven for Beginners and Advanced. Send us a message to grab your spot before it's too late! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Our Beginners' class on Saturday were doing so well we gave them a sneak preview of our next Advanced session! Umbilical cord heeling is the first step towards off-leash work. #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Yuma showed the Advanced class how to nail the return to heel exercise. Great job, Yuma! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining101

Due to the rain, our Thursday night class is delayed to next week. Too bad, Ivy had been practicing setting up the pylons... #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Our Saturday Level 1 class is making some great strides in their heel work, and it's only week 2. Imagine how great they'll be by week 6! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining

Typha the Standard Poodle puppy demonstrates some amazing heelwork at our Thursday night class! Three weeks down, three to go! #613dogs #myottawa #Ottawa #ottawadogs #obediencetraining #dogtraining
