Dog Training in New West

We are currently taking new private training clients to make up for classes being on pause until November 2023

Stefania is in a Mentorship with Renée Erdman of BravoDog.ca as she studies to complete her certification with The Academy for Dog Trainers in order to ensure she is helping her clients in the best way possible. See her bio for more experience and credentials. SESSIONS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AT OUR FACILITY, UNLESS OTHERWISE DECIDED BY STEFANIA ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.

1x 60 min session: $199+tax
Ideal for those who need a helping hand getting started but aren’t sure where to start.

**NEW!** 3 SESH EXPRESS! 3x 45 min session: $229+tax
Choose this option if you were hoping to register for a group class but your schedule doesn’t quite work out. All material from either Puppy Class or The Basics will be covered privately with all focus being on you and your pup instead of having time shared with others!
