Fundamentals This class works well for any pup or adult dog more than 6 months of age. The class is based on practicing the steps required to become a Canine Good Neighbor as designated by the Canadian Kennel Club. Class Prerequisite: attended Puppy Start Right or private training with New Discoveries.
The purpose of the Canine Good Neighbour Program test is to ensure that one of our most favoured companions, the dog, is accepted as a valued member of the community. Canine Good Neighbours can be counted on to present good manners at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs.
Looking for something a bit different? How about Canine Scent Detection! All breeds, ages, sizes and ability of dogs are welcome. No obedience is needed as a prerequisite and boisterous behaviors such as barking and pulling can be part of the game. Using the dog’s natural desire to “hunt” helps develop focus and self-control. This activity also promotes confidence and provides mental stimulation, ideal for shy, or disabled dogs.
