We do most of our training at the Packworks indoor/outdoor training centre in Smokey Point (5-7 minutes off the I5 at exit 206) where we are able to provide a variety of "demo/decoy" dogs (and, if necessary, "demo people") appropriate for the specific (clients) dog's needs and the training protocols we design for that dog. Our facility is completely fenced with a large, fully-enclosed training arena. At our facility we can build distractions/triggers into the protocols (e.g. chickens, goats, horses, cats, bikes, tractours, diesel trucks, cars, etc. etc) as warranted/appropriate for the stage of the work IN A COMPLETELY CONTROLLED setting. 

We do book, as well, off-site sessions (at your home or other locations where the issues of concern are apt to arise)
by arrangement if that is your preference. You can show us exactly how and where the issues you want address occur. We will assess the precipitating events and trigger stimuli present in your home environment and everyday routine that are contributing to the undesired behaviour. We will show you how to modify the day-to-day handling and logistical/physical management of your dog so that you will consistently demonstrate yourself to be a trustworthy reliable packleader. (Additional fee applies.)

Should you be interested in working with us, we suggest that you schedule a 2-hour (minimum), private training session so that we have sufficient time to do a thorough evaluation of your dog and your pack dynamics and design/demonstrate some training protocols for you based on your dog's individual character and issues. We say training protocols, but really these will be training and management protocols that you will use whenever certain types of situations arise – not just during formal training sessions.  We will send you home from this session with lots of homework – perhaps several weeks worth, or maybe even a few months worth depending on the issues. Whether or not you need or want to come back for another session will be up to you.  

PRIVATE SESSION RATES: Our rates are 120$ per hour for one dog; 145$ per hour for more than one dog. Two-hour minimum session required for one or two dogs (total of 240$ for one dog/290$ for two dogs). Minimum session is three hours if you wish to work three or four of your own dogs. DOGS MUST LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD  (three hours at 145$ per hour). 

Rates for private sessions conducted in your home or other location (as appropriate): *475$* for a minimum two hour session for one to two dogs.
