Classes

Cher of Street Wise Canine in Ottawa and Melissa of The Dog’s Paw have come together to offer the most collaborative and comprehensive dog training program to grace the online training scene. This program allows you to work at your own pace, in the comfort of your own home while still seeing the amazing results you would get from in person training.  Training Dogs Online has everything from obedience commands, leash walking, puppy raising, handling exercises to behaviour modification exercises. 

Clients are given an 8 unit course to work through in a self study fashion, however support and coaching are offered 24/7 as needed throughout the process. Our videos are packed with amazing footage of our dogs being worked through this exact program, step by step! We offer video support within the platform once per week using Zoom, which acts as a "class" meeting time as well as an opportunity for clients to ask questions in greater detail. Although it is not required, it is highly encouraged for clients to video their work and submit it for feedback. If you are not comfortable sharing certain content, feel free to message us and we can discuss making alternative arrangements. During the zoom call we go over the video footage posted from clients, as well as answer any and all questions clients may have. The videos posted by clients allow Melissa and Cher to offer constructive feedback and strategies to ensure your success.   

Previous TDO clients will also receive discounts on future online courses conducted by either Melissa or Cher, in person seminars as well as Private Sessions and Group Classes.  Training Dogs Online, unless specified, will run on a continual basis. This means that you can join in at any time! For more information or to register please visit https://trainingdogsonline.ca/

The Dog’s Paw offers the most comprehensive puppy class around. Every Sunday from 12:00-1:00pm puppies gather in our 800sqft training area or outside in our 1/2 acre "Barking Lot" to socialize and learn basic obedience. For the first 20 minutes of class the puppies socialize while we discuss the importance of proper play styles and the need to advocate for your puppy. We have a brief intermission to potty our puppies. The next 20 minutes of class are spent working on basic obedience using our unique marker training language. We wrap the class up with a recall exercise and 10 minute question period. 

In 10 weeks your puppy will learn their name, to sit, down, place, recall, loose leash walk and so much more! For signing up, you will also receive a free food pouch and training leash!  All puppies 10-20 weeks of age can attend. Puppy class has staggered registration which means that if your puppy is between 10-20 weeks old, you can start class this Sunday! If you register your puppy at 10 weeks of age, you will be able to attend class for 10 weeks, assuming you don’t miss any classes. At 20 weeks of age puppies are no longer able to attend Puppy Class.  Not sure if you want to commit to 10 weeks of training? I also offer a drop in rate of $50+HST.  All puppies are required to have their first DHPP vaccine to attend class.  This is why we have puppies start at 10 weeks rather than 8 weeks as first puppy vaccines are typically done at 8 weeks of age.  This allows the puppy to build immunity for 2 weeks prior to joining class, post-vaccine.

Want to REALLY set your puppy up for success. Sign up for our LIFETIME membership online training and coaching program, Training Dogs Online for a reduced rate of $200 ($500+HST total) and receive training and coaching support for the life of your dog.  Email info@delhidogspaw.com today for more information or to register for puppy class!

Have you met with us for a consultation, attended our puppy class or joined Training Dogs Online and would like an opportunity to practice training your dog with a bit of extra coaching? Our group class is geared towards returning training clients who want to practice proofing the skills and behaviours that have been taught through our other training services. 

The focus of group class will be to meet our dogs where they're at and build on each individual dog's skills based on their individual needs. For some dogs this may simply be working on handler engagement and for others this may be proofing more complex behaviours. For this reason the class is "drop-in" in nature and the schedule can be found here.

Training Dogs Online clients receive a $30+HST discount meaning group class is only $20+HST for TDO clients.
