Training Basics for a Lifetime of Good Manners

A Foundation for more Advanced Training.

Basic Obedience Training is a great way to set your dog up for success and provides a foundation for more advanced training. Teaching the basics is a fun and important step to help establish a strong and positive relationship between a dog and owner, as well as reducing problem behaviours such as destructiveness.

Our Basic Dog Obedience Training program is a group class that teaches dogs a variety of commands including Sit, Stay, Release, Heel, Down, Place, and Recall. The class also covers basic problem behaviors such as jumping up. With a maximum of 6 dog participants, your dog will receive personalized attention and guidance from our expert trainers.

Once your dog has completed Basic Obedience, they are ready to move on to Social Obedience. This program takes Basic Obedience commands to the next level with more distance, duration, and distractions in a variety of class formats and locations. This will allow your dog to be exposed to real life scenarios.

*Both classes have a maximum of 6 dog participants. All dogs must have their second set of puppy shots to join Basic Obedience.

Before training it was challenging to keep Juno’s habits organized and consistent. Through this program, Juno’s learnt essential basic skills that made out life easier and better. Juno was also able to build beneficial habits.

Arlene and Joanne were amazing with our hyper puppy. Took the time and attention we needed that was beyond just the basic training by giving so much advice in areas we were struggling with. Thank you for everything! Look forward to social obedience and agility training!

We adopted Freddy at 18 months. He was a gentle dog with people but not social with dogs (ie. barked during walks). He now walks with very little notice of other dogs. He also knew zero commands. Now he sits on command, stays in his place and drops objects with the OFF command.

Before training Oscar was a wild child. He is slightly calmer now, sits when told and will walk beside us on a walk as opposed to pulling us. He is also familiar with his place.

Pippa was hesitant to even walk on her leash prior to training. Arlene is patient and her training methods are excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Dog Stop. Pippa walks at heel, sits, stays and is learning the come command to return. Thank you Arlene!
