Puppy Preschool in Aurora

The early weeks of your puppy’s life are critical, and our puppy preschool in Aurora is built to make the most of them. Ideal for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks, this program focuses on foundational skills and positive first experiences.

We teach your pup to:

  • Respond to their name and basic commands
  • Walk calmly on a leash
  • Use their crate comfortably
  • Avoid bad habits like biting or jumping
  • Build confidence through gentle socialization with people and dogs

Puppy preschool helps prevent long-term behaviour problems and sets the tone for a well-adjusted adult dog.

Basic Obedience Training for Dogs

This program is ideal for dogs of all ages and covers:

  • Sit, stay, down, and come
  • Leash walking, heel position, and calm greetings
  • Impulse control and focus around distractions

Obedience training is the foundation for all other learning. It gives your dog the structure they crave and you the peace of mind you deserve.

Aggressive Behaviour Management

Aggression in dogs can feel overwhelming, but it’s not the end of the road. Our aggressive behaviour training in Aurora focuses on identifying the root cause of your dog’s aggression and building a structured plan to overcome it.

We work with dogs who show:

  • Leash reactivity
  • Fear-based or territorial aggression
  • Aggression toward other dogs or people
  • Resource guarding or food aggression

Using calm leadership, controlled exposure, and trust-building techniques, we help reduce aggression and restore a sense of safety in your home and in public.

Off-Leash Training

Want to enjoy your dog’s company on a hike or in the park without worrying they’ll run off? Our off-leash training in Aurora is designed for dogs who’ve already completed basic obedience and are ready for more freedom.

This program includes:

  • Long-distance recall
  • Reliable command following without a leash
  • Confidence in public areas and open spaces
  • Strengthened owner-dog communication and trust

Whether you’re exploring Sheppard’s Bush or strolling the Willow Farm Valley trails, off-leash freedom is possible and safe with the right training.

If your dog’s behaviour is creating stress at home, you’re not alone. Many common and frustrating problems can be corrected with our behavioural training in Aurora.

We help with:

In-Home Consultations

Not every dog learns well in a public environment. Our in-home dog training in Aurora offers personalized attention in the comfort of your home, where many behaviour issues originate.

Perfect for:

  • House training and routines
  • Behavioural issues in specific settings (e.g., doorbell, crate, furniture)
  • Dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to new environments
  • Busy families who need flexibility in scheduling

In-home sessions are particularly effective for lasting behavioural change, because the training happens where the problems happen.
