Megan will be capturing portraits on Saturday February 8th with the help of Cassandra to lead your dog through cute Valentines poses! These lightning session will be done on a drop-in basis.
For a $50 investment you will receive two photos from your session; our trainer will lead your dog through 2 poses/prop selections of your choice. Additional photos of additional poses/prop/costume selections can be added onto your lightning session for $12/each (maximum of 5 total poses for each dog).
One of the cornerstone skills we work on in Foundations classes is leash walking manners! Ollie and her human show off their skills in this video!

Practicing Recall in Foundations Class!
We're so proud of the progress Penny & her human have made in Foundations class! At her first class, even though Penny couldn't even see the other dogs (we had vidial barriers up) she was so distracted that she wasn't very interested in her human or even the yummy treats.
Fast forward 4 weeks later and they've worked hard and come a long way. Penny can now work while she can see her friend Ollie and even though she is still a bit distracted, she chooses to go to her human!
Yay Team Penny! You rock!
We like to use food words like "Treats" or "Cookies" for training a reliable recall in Foundations classes!

Does your dog lack impulse control and manners around food or other items? Did you know we have a FREE Facebook group where we teach Tricks?
Wait, what? How are these related?
"Leave It" -- like most everything we teach our dogs -- is simply a trick and it's one we just posted about in our Extraordinary Canines Tricks Club!
Look at the change in 4 month old puppy Cordelia in this video! This transformation took about 5 minutes. We show it all in our latest video on "Leave It" in our Do More With Your Dog Spark Group: Extraordinary Canines Tricks Club!
Of course, if you're REALLY struggling with your dog's unrelentless determination to help themselves to ALL OF THE THINGS then you may benefit from a bit more in depth look at teaching this behaviour (we have Foundations training classes online or group Foundations classes in person plus we offer in person personal training sessions).
Our Puppy Elements classes for baby puppies are open for Summer registration and filling up fast! These are some of THE BEST puppy classes available in all of the lower mainland for baby puppies still in their primary socialization window so register your puppy now and don't miss out!
Our Puppy Elements classes are specially geared towards puppies starting before 12 weeks old with socialization being our focus to help build confident, happy, puppies that are ready to take on anything life throws at them!
Registration in all 4 weeks of Puppy Elements classes also gains families access to our online Puppy 101 course which includes invaluable information on hot topics like Potty Training and Puppy Biting!
After taking these classes your puppy will be ready to join more traditional dog training classes for older puppies and teen dogs (you know for all that other stuff like "Sit" and "Stay" and "Heel" and . . . )
Something that sets our Foundations Training classes apart from other beginner manners/obedience type classes is that each family gets personal space with visual barriers between them and other families.
As the dogs are successful through the weeks they'll graduate away from visual barriers and by the last class most dogs are able to relax and focus on their family without any visual or physical barriers just like being on a public patio at your favourite coffee shop, eatery, or brewery!
Not all puppies want to play or find a well matched friend at our Puppy Elements socialization classes, but these two were the perfect pair 😍
