Dog training

HSOMH is pleased to introduce our new dog training classes, designed to support dogs and their people at every stage. We offer both group classes and private sessions to suit your needs and learning style.

 

All Behaviour Training Sessions are thoughtfully developed by a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer, using positive, evidence-based techniques that build confidence, strengthen bonds, and set your dog up for long-term success.

Private Training

Our Private Training Program is designed for dogs experiencing more complex behavioural challenges such as reactivity, separation anxiety, and impulse control issues. Sessions can take place in person at the shelter or via video conference, depending on the severity and nature of the behaviour concerns. Each program includes an initial assessment, a customized training plan, and ongoing email support between sessions.

Group Classes

Our comprehensive dog training curriculum is delivered through a variety of engaging group class formats, designed to cater to dogs at every stage of development. These structured training programs ensure a consistent and progressive learning experience for both dog and handler.
