I am extremely proud of Poppy and the progress she has made! Going from lunging and trying to bite me and spending hours shaking, panting, and stressing simply just existing in an empty room without anything going on to easily navigating an extremely hectic environment filled with all the things that previously sent her into a panic has been a pleasure to help her accomplish.

Training will not fundamentally change who Poppy is and what her base-line genetic tendencies are. She is who she is. She still tends towards fear, insecurity, anxiety. However, training helps raise her confidence, recovery skills, and change the coping mechanisms and behaviours she chooses when feeling overwhelmed.

Busy schedule? Want a better-behaved dog without trying to fit in another class?

DAY TRAIN is your dog's full-day training solution. They’ll spend the day working with our professional trainers to build essential skills, learn in real-world settings, and come home mentally and physically fulfilled. You’ll also receive structured guidance on how to follow through at home — ensuring results that stick.
Whether you're starting with a young pup, polishing up obedience, or working through behavioral challenges, Day Train offers expert-led, distraction-rich learning in a controlled and supportive environment.

What Your Dog Will Learn:

✅ Obedience foundations and manners
✅ Impulse control around people, dogs, and distractions
✅ Calm behavior in stimulating environments
✅ Confidence-building in new places and with new people
✅ Real-life skills — not just tricks in a classroom

Every dog trains in a structured setting with other dogs present — helping them learn to focus, stay calm, and make good choices in the real world.

DAY TRAIN is especially beneficial for:

• Puppies and young dogs starting from scratch
• Over-excited or easily distracted dogs
• Dogs who are reactive, insecure, or nervous in new situations
• High-energy dogs needing mental and physical outlets
• Dogs who aren’t a fit for daycare-style socializing
• Any dog that needs better focus, behavior, and self-control

🐶 Canine Composure Class

Starts Sunday, June 7, 2026 | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
📍 The Doghouse – 12 Boulder Blvd, Stony Plain, AB
🗓️ 4-week program | Open to dogs 6 months+

Is your dog constantly reacting to the world around them?
Do they struggle to settle when guests come over or when kids are playing nearby?

Canine Composure is designed to help dogs — and their humans — chill out. This class focuses on building calm, confident behavior in everyday situations, teaching your dog that not everything needs a reaction.

Whether it’s relaxing on a patio, staying composed with company over, or just watching the world go by — your dog will learn that calm is a skill worth practicing.
________________________________________

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to teach your dog to settle around distractions
✅ Strategies for calm behavior in the home and in public
✅ Desensitization to common triggers (people, noise, movement)
✅ How to encourage neutrality — not hyperactivity
✅ Tools to build your dog’s emotional resilience and focus

This class is ideal for dogs who are easily overstimulated, reactive, or struggle to wind down. No prior training required — just bring your dog and a willingness to learn together.
________________________________________

🔑 Why This Class Matters:

Calm isn’t just the absence of bad behavior — it’s a trained skill.
Teaching your dog to relax builds confidence, reduces stress, and makes life more enjoyable for both of you.
