A group session in progress with dogs and their owners

Workshops & Seminars

Sessions built for the humans

Interactive sessions that give you the knowledge and tools to better understand and work with your dog. No prior experience necessary.

The format

One to one and
a half hours.

Open to everyone — whether you’re a new dog owner, an aspiring trainer, or an experienced owner looking to deepen your understanding of canine behaviour.

Depending on the topic, workshops may be offered online, in person, or both, for greater flexibility. Every session provides practical tools and insights to help you and your dog thrive.

$40 – $60

Per workshop, depending on topic and format.

Understanding dog body language

Gain insight into how dogs communicate through posture, facial expressions and movement. Learn to identify signals of stress, play, fear and aggression so you can respond to what your dog is actually telling you.

Teaching young children to interact safely with dogs

Help kids develop safe, respectful habits around dogs — understanding boundaries and recognizing the early signs of discomfort in canine body language.

Training fundamentals

Build a solid foundation for obedience and training success. Effective techniques for teaching commands, encouraging positive behaviour, and avoiding the most common training pitfalls.

Building better communication

Strengthen the bond between you and your dog by learning to understand their needs and how they perceive the world. Clear, consistent communication is what builds trust and cooperation.

Community

More than a class — a room full of people with the same questions.

Beyond the skills, workshops are a chance to connect with other dog owners and enthusiasts in your community. Share experiences, ask questions, and build a supportive network of like-minded people.
