    Positive dog training for a better behaved dog

    Ways to train with us

    THE PROBLEM?

    Are you a busy dog owner who knows training is important but not sure what to do or where to find the time? Or maybe your unruly, family dog could use some help with their manners? Taking the pressure off you and making your dog easier to life with.

    THE SOLUTION:

    Hire a professional! Let a qualified dog trainer take the leash and fast track your dog’s better behaviour. We train your dog at our facility, working on behaviours to help improve their manners. Taking the pressure off you and making your dog easier to life with.

    Instead of being stressed out with an unruly pup, imagine the relief of having a dog who’s calmer at home and easier to live with?

    Instead of having your shoulder pulled out, imagine enjoying a walk with your dog again?

    Instead of the frustration of your dog ignoring you, imagine a dog who comes when called?

    BIRCHVIEW DOGS IS PROUD TO BE A KAREN PRYOR CERTIFIED TRAINING PARTNER.

    We use the most up to date, evidence based training methods that use positive reinforcement to teach our dogs.

    LIFE SKILLS BOOTCAMP

    Polite Leash Walking & Reliable Recall

    Who’s walking who? Rover seems to have forgotten his name when you call? Two of the most common issues dog owners ask for help with are walking their dogs on a leash and dogs not coming when called.

    We have the solution. Let us give your dog a foundation in polite leash manners and reliable recall, then show you how to maintain and work on these real-life skills at home.
