Behavioural Consultations

Smart Dog Training will help solve problem behaviours including separation anxiety, aggression, housetraining, digging and barking. You will receive an analysis of the problem, management strategies and a behaviour modification plan to remedy the problem.

Consultations regarding aggression start at $98 for the first visit with package rates available. Please note that aggression issues  are complex and we recommend three visit packages  or more (or the option of the growly class for dogs reactive with other dogs). 

Day Training

Send your dog to charm school! Does your dog growl at you when you approach his food or toys? Is your dog rude, jumpy and biting for attention? These and other problem behaviours require the time and consistency that Smart Dog Training can provide. Feel confident knowing that your dog will learn fantastic impulse control in a positive pain-free training program.

Private lessons require 24 hour cancellation notice.

Sherry was able to help my dog overcome his bolting at the sound of whistles. It was a very unsafe habit and other trainers said it couldn't be fixed. But we did it in a few sessions!

When we got our dog he would bite us hard for almost any contact with his body. Now we can wipe his paws, and handle him in almost any way. I am sold on your methods for dealing with aggression Spot's person
