Guardianship Program
We believe that a dog's education should extend beyond their early stages, fostering communication, confidence and safety throughout their lives. Our guardianship programs provide a tutoring-styled service with weekly sessions focused on learning, communication development, physical and mental stimulation.
As your pet's trusted guardian, we focus on building deep, lasting relationships over time. You will have constant access to support for any questions related to your pet's training and behaviours. Our team is here to provide solutions and suggestions whenever you need them. The key benefit of our program is that early engagement allows us to prevent most unwanted behaviours, build effective communication, learning, and structured guidance.
​
​Our program is designed to be fluid, with various intermediate stages between these core components. This approach ensures a well-rounded education for your pet, addressing all aspects of their behavior and skills development. Each stage builds upon the previous, creating a solid foundation for a well-behaved, confident, and happy companion.
​​
All dogs are eligible for this program, and it is encouraged for dogs as young as possible but there are no age limits. For reactive dogs, the Reactivity Mentorship service is similarly structured but specific for reactive behaviours, so you will use this service.
