Default Dog Training

We’d like to start formal training for our 7 month old dog. We’ve been doing the basics but are looking for something more comprehensive.

I bought a dog the other day. I named him Stay. It's fun to call him. "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. - Steven Wright.

I liked Sit Happens for classes, because there is (or at least there was) flexibility to work with the trainer that you find is best suited to you and your dog. But that again will just give you a basic overview. If you want more intensive training, you need to work with a trainer one-on-one, IMO.

Also, check out the Canine Good Neighbour Test. Even if you don't want to go through the actual test, it gives you an outline of what to work on.

It has been a long time since I lived in Calgary, but my wife—a professional dog trainer—always had a high opinion of Sit Happens.
