Because group classes will not begin again until spring, I have put together mini classes for behavior problems and socialization classes that will be once a month until April.
Mini Classes

This class is to show you a new style of training: TREAT FREE. I will show you how to get your dog to do basic commands as well as work on any behavioral problems you may be having with your dog. Please send me the behaviour problems you are having beforehand so that I can prepare for class. Class may be at a park or at The Canine Bond in Caledonia, depending on weather.

Socialization Classes
1 hour
$20 per class
This class is designed for humans to learn how dogs play. You will learn what is acceptable during play, what is not, and what to do if you need to interrupt. This is to better understand your dog and see what healthy play looks like. This is NOT for any dogs that have aggression problems regarding biting.
Class will be held at The Canine Bond in Caledonia.
Please email with your preferred date and payment. I will be limiting it to 6 dogs per class.
Dates:

The Canine Bond Dog Trainers Course

Classes start Saturday April 27th and will be every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm.
You will learn how to teach others how to train their dog, dog behavior including the 13 aggressions, and working hands on with dogs including your own.
You must also complete an 8 week (twice a week) group class with me to gain experience as well as attend 8 hours of studying dog behavior at the dog daycare.

Socialization Therapy
The Canine Bond Center provides an environment that focuses on your dog’s socialization skills. The Socialization Program is designed to be at a pace that our dogs are comfortable with and will not overwhelm them.
There are a limited number of dogs in the Socialization Program. We are familiar with all of our dogs. Our goal is to build your dog’s self-confidence, not undermine it.
WHY
A socialized dog is a more stable, well rounded, confident pet with better coping skills.
Lack of socialization can result in a dog that is fearful of people, other dogs and new experiences. Fear can even lead to aggression.
WHEN
The Canine Bond Center is open Monday to Friday for Caledonia residents. The Socialization Program runs on Mondays and Friday, from 10:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. We will pick your dog up in the morning and deliver him or her home in the afternoon.
Saturdays have been set aside for specific behavioral cases.
Socialization programs
This is reserved for Saturdays. This is for dogs that do not get along with other dogs, dogs that have bitten or are too frightened to be in a pack environment. Using my dogs, we work on your dog slowly until he or she builds up confidence and trust to be with more dogs.
This is by appointment only: location is The Canine Bond in Caledonia.
Cost is $20 per hour
