All first in person behaviour sessions will be an additional 20-30 minutes longer as I'll need to complete an initial assessment. This provides me an opportunity to design a behaviour modification plan that best meets everyone's needs.
"Walk & Learn" sessions are a unique and effective format for puppy/adolescent training, designed to fit seamlessly into busy schedules while maximizing the learning experience for both puppies and their owners. In these sessions, the training is divided into two parts:
Private Training Time: The first half of the session, typically lasting about 22.5 to 30 minutes, involves the trainer working one-on-one with the puppy without the owners present. This allows the puppy to focus solely on the trainer and the learning process without the potential distractions of having the owner nearby. During this time, the trainer employs positive reinforcement techniques to teach the puppy essential real-world skills, how to remain calm and neutral in various social settings, and basic obedience commands.
Review and Guidance: In the second half of the session, the owners join the trainer and the puppy to review what has been taught. This portion is dedicated to explaining the techniques used, demonstrating the puppy's progress, and providing the owners with the necessary tools and knowledge to continue the training at home. Owners can ask questions, practice the new skills with their puppy under the trainer's supervision, and receive personalized advice.
For those with particularly busy schedules, this format is highly beneficial. It ensures that the puppy receives professional training during the crucial early stages of development, while also allowing the owners to stay informed and involved without needing to commit to being present for the entire session. However, if preferred, owners can opt to be present for the entire session to observe and participate throughout.

Our private in home/public puppy training class, we focus on strictly positive reinforcement techniques to ensure a happy and healthy learning environment. Our comprehensive puppy course, offered through Redefined K9, is designed to help overexcited puppies develop essential real-world skills. We teach them how to stay calm and neutral in social settings while also covering basic obedience commands or minor behaviour challenges like separation anxiety/house breaking. This course is uniquely structured as a "Walk & Learn" program, where each 45-minute to 1-hour session is split into two parts. During the first half, I work one-on-one with the puppy without the owners present, allowing for focused training. In the second half, we review what has been learned and provide guidance on continuing the training at home. Owners also have the option to be present for the entire session if they prefer. This flexible structure is ideal for those with busy schedules who still want to take advantage of this crucial developmental stage for their puppy.

In my adolescent dog training sessions, which are conducted privately in-home, we focus on addressing the unique challenges faced during this teenage stage. Recognizing the importance of early intervention to prevent high reactivity or aggression issues, our sessions are tailored to address behavioural concerns such as leash frustration, separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, mouthy or jumpy behaviour, & more. Depending on the specific needs, we also offer "walk & learn" sessions for adolescent sessions that integrate real-world experiences to reinforce positive behaviours. By addressing these issues promptly, we aim to prevent future risks and ensure a well-behaved, happy canine companion.

At Redefined K9, our private behaviour modification sessions are specifically tailored for dogs facing more serious behavioural issues such as dog and people reactivity, fear reactivity, resource guarding, fearfulness, and other challenging behaviours. In these sessions, our primary goal is to counter-condition the dogs' negative responses to triggers and replace these with preferred alternative behaviors. By using positive reinforcement techniques, we aim to gradually change the dogs' emotional responses and help them develop more appropriate and calm behaviours in various situations. These sessions are designed to provide personalized, focused attention to address the unique needs of each dog, ensuring they receive the support necessary to overcome their behavioural challenges and lead happier, more balanced lives.
