Walk & Train
Private training sessions are tailored to the needs of you and your dog. All sessions are done in the comfort of your home, or at an agreed upon meeting spot (depending on the skills we are working on). Check out our private training packages below!
Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, we are not offering in-person training sessions. Please check out our virtual training page to learn more about our current offerings. Thank you!
Private training.
Back to basics.
Does your dog jump on strangers, remain underfoot in the kitchen, bark at the mailman, or pull on leash? Whatever your needs are, Canine Align can tailor the private training sessions to you and your dog.
Length of private consultations:
1.5 hour in-home consultation and training session followed by two 1 hour follow up training sessions. You will also receive a written detailed training plan after each session.
Price:
$395.00 + GST
Pre-requisites:
Your dog must be up to date on vaccinations.
Puppy head start.
Are you the proud owner of a new puppy? Or are you expecting a puppy soon? Let Canine Align help you get started on the right paw.
The Puppy Head Start package includes a 1.5 hour in-home consultation, three 1 hour training sessions, a puppy socialization passport, and a puppy handbook.
The puppy consultation can be booked before your puppy arrives, or when your puppy first arrives in the home.
Session 1: Puppy Consultation (1.5 hours).
We will cover how puppies think and learn, in home set-up, house training, bite inhibition, jumping, food and sleep routines, socialization, proper toys and games, physical and mental enrichment, and clicker training.
Session 2: Focusing Your Puppy (1.0 hours).
We will cover attention and focus, sit, stay, name recognition, jumping, mouthing and barking.
Session 3: A Walk in the Park (1.0 hours).
We will cover loose-leash walking, leave-it, ignoring distractions, polite greetings and introducing your puppy to a recall cue.
Session 4: Social and Handling Skills (1.0 hours).
We will discuss how dogs communicate, appropriate dog play, and calming techniques. We will introduce your puppy to different grooming and veterinary tools and touches so that they can participate cooperatively in their care. We will also introduce them to household noises and teach them appropriate behaviours when they hear the vacuum, doorbell and door knocking.
Length:
1.5 hour in-home consultation and training session followed by three 1 hour training sessions. You will also receive a written detailed training plan after each session.
Price:

Pre-requisites:
Your puppy must have his or her second set of vaccinations by the third session. Your puppy must be between 8 and 20 weeks of age. The earlier you get them started, the more successful they will be growing up.
Advanced problem solving.
Is your dog fearful or strangers, car rides or children? Does your dog bark at people or dogs when you are on a walk? If you are experiencing fearful or reactive behaviours with your dog, this package is for you.
Length:
We will begin with a 1.5 hour consultation so that we can assess your needs, construct a plan, and go over how dogs think and learn. There will be three 1 hour training sessions as well.
Price:

Pre-requisites:
Your dog must be up to date on vaccinations. If your dog has displayed aggression towards people or dogs (air snapped, growled, or bitten), you are required to have a basket muzzle on your dog for these training sessions.
