Dog Training Group Classes in Uxbridge
Goodwood Community Center
268 Durham Regional Hwy 47, Goodwood
6 weeks | 45 minute classes | $289 (tx incl)
Each series is limited to 4 spots to ensure quality support.
Understand, collaborate, play & connect!
Classes consider both ends of the leash – and we all thrive in learning when it’s FUN! Challenges we’re experiencing day to day, finding ourselves deep in the ‘throes’ of puppyhood or navigating a new adoption – there’s a lot of potential for the development of relationship roadblocks, fractures and frustration. We want to shift that to understanding, collaboration, and connection ♡
We welcome a process that teaches dog-human team skills and strategies – supporting you with challenges, learning new approaches, noticing your dog’s ability to offer solutions (we sometimes miss), breaking free from potential ‘bottlenecks’, inspiring loving guardianship and deepening connection.
Team Spirit | Thursdays | 6:30 pm
Our new series is underway! Next start date tba.
For all ages.
We’ll explore your unique relationship through developing a deeper understanding of interaction dynamics. We’ll build solutions to challenges and teach valuable life skills.
→ create mutual connection for loose leash walking skills
→ ‘hangout’ on a mat/bed (super easy hack!)
→ build a neutral or calm response with distractions
→ learn fun interactive games to build your bond while building life skills!
→ confidence building
→ learn to notice your dogs signals for the need to connect, social support and emotional self-regulation (what do those things look like?)
→ strategize for the question “when I do xyz, I’d like my dog to do?” – we’ll bring your scenario(s) to class!
→ easy ways to provide natural behaviour outlets for your unique dog & their breed tendencies
→ long line skills and techniques
→ implementing a recall ‘hack’ and impulse control ‘hack’
This class will prepare you for Team Spirit 2 (next level up) – details to come!
* Please Note * Because we’re indoors (limited by walls = cannot gain more space for dogs who need it), these classes are not meant for dogs that struggle with strong ‘reactivity’ barking continuously at other dogs or people (over excited or fear based). For dogs that struggle in this area, I highly recommend private lessons/consults and/or our new outdoor class Reactivity Realigned coming spring 2025 for dogs that struggle with big reactions to triggers – details will be added soon. Feel free to contact me.
Puppy & Me | Thursdays | 7:30 pm
Our new series is underway! Next start date tba.
For puppies under 16 weeks of age.
In this class we’ll have fun exploring novelty, building confidence, teaching puppy-human skill basics, further developing your unique relationship, with a focus on supporting your pup’s continued early development.
Games, patterns, strategies (through ‘scenario setups’) and providing natural behaviour outlets are the foundation for young pups with their new family – and this class covers it all!
I’ll also ‘weave in’ some lenses/frameworks that will support you as you move forward together – preparing you to join Team Spirit and our upcoming Team Spirit 2 (next level up).
If your pup is over 16 weeks, please see Team Spirit (Group Class at 10am), Private Offerings OR Teammates Day Camp for more options.
If you have any questions or concerns about when to start puppy classes the answer is right away! Here are some resources – what about puppy shots?
