Build a strong bond with your puppy or dog with one of DWD’s beginner obedience programs (Junior Puppy, Senior Puppy or Adult Beginner). Focusing on socialization, basic commands and how to live with human rules using a positive approach these programs are designed to help both handlers and dogs learn skills that will last a lifetime.

Continuing your dog’s education in our Intermediate Program will help adolescent dogs further develop positive behaviours and work through the teenage phase. Dealing With Dog’s Masters Program adds more difficult distraction training, advanced obedience and preparation for the Canine Good Neighbour Test. See our classes for details.
