5 week Puppy Foundation Obedience (up to 8months old - $350
Is it vital we start our puppies lives on the right track with training. The imprinting stage is considered a critical learning phase. During this phase they are particularly responsive to learning. The puppy program will teach you all basic commands and how to develop a obedient, confident, happy, independent, well balanced dog. Not all Puppy programs are equal, it's important you and your puppy learn quality, practical skills that will develop into real world abilities. We don't want to be taught to rely on food to get our dogs to do anything. Sure we use food to introduce skills. But then it's vital you are taught how to fade them away and still have the same level of control.

5 week Scent detection $450
This program is designed to introduce individuals to the world of scent detection with their dogs, while also providing experienced dog owners new techniques and methods to enhance their dogs' current abilities. Participants will learn the initial steps of introducing a target odour, progressing to instructing their dogs on how to work independently and confidently. Dogs will be exposed to various searching styles, including ground searches, scent walls, and wheels. The objective of this program is to develop handler and dog teams capable of performing double-blind searches, where neither the dog nor the handler knows the location of the target.
Some target odours will be provided, however, participants are welcome to bring their own odours for their dogs to learn to detect including specific odours for competition purposes.
The program is conducted indoors and outdoors at Jason Harris Dog Training facility. When your dog isn't working they will be required to be under complete control. You are welcome to bring a crate to keep your dog in between working and resting. It will be one lesson a week from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.
Please note that the results achieved during the program will heavily depend on the effort put in by the participants and their dogs' natural abilities. While it is possible to increase a dog's drive, it can only be done to a certain extent. It is important not to expect identical performance from all dogs.
