Breakthroughs for Life

Imagine a life where you and your dog are in sync, effortlessly navigating the world together. The Breakthroughs for Life program is designed to help you achieve the most success with the least stress, fostering a strong bond and creating lasting positive changes in your dog’s behavior. This isn’t just about training your dog—it’s about empowering YOU to become your dog’s best trainer, unlocking the potential for a harmonious life together.

This comprehensive program starts with 1:1 private lessons, where you’ll learn our proven training system to build a solid foundation. We’ll focus on everything from basic obedience and proper play styles to strengthening your relationship and enhancing socialization skills. Our goal is to set both you and your dog up for success, ensuring you both feel confident and empowered every step of the way.

We’ll also guide you through understanding the importance of reinforcement—how to use it effectively, what types of reinforcement exist, and how to determine what motivates your dog. This knowledge will enable you to set your dog up for success in any environment, whether at home or in public.

Once the basics are mastered, we’ll transition to advanced training, introducing the necessary tools to help you achieve off-leash obedience and a bomb-proof recall. By conditioning your dog to these essential tools, you’ll experience a new level of freedom and trust, knowing your dog will respond reliably, even in high-distraction environments.

The real magic happens when we move to the Semi-Private Training stage, where you’ll work alongside two other dedicated dog owners. This small-group setting allows you to practice in real-world scenarios with controlled distractions, reinforcing the lessons learned and fostering proper socialization.

Finally, you’ll graduate to the Large Group Classes, where you’ll continue to refine your skills, tackle public distractions, and embark on exciting field trips and adventures! This stage is designed to give you the confidence to take your dog anywhere and everywhere with ease and confidence.

• 6 Private Lessons: Personalized, one-on-one coaching to establish your training foundation and build a solid bond with your dog.
• 4 Semi-Private Lessons: Small group classes with 2 other clients to work through real-world distractions and enhance socialization.
• Unlimited Access to Large Group Classes: Ongoing support and practice for the life of your dog, ensuring long-term success.
• Ecollar from Ecollar Technologies: A top-quality tool to support off-leash obedience and a bomb-proof recall.

The Breakthroughs for Life program is perfect for dogs who are struggling with common behavioral challenges such as:

• Reactivity (towards people, dogs, or other distractions)
• Anxiety (separation anxiety, fear-based behaviors)
• Frustration (leash pulling, excessive barking, poor impulse control)
• Low Confidence (fearful or shy behavior)
• Poor Recall (not coming when called, ignoring commands)

If your dog is experiencing these types of behavioral challenges, this program is designed to help you address them effectively and build a stronger, more confident dog.

For dogs displaying human or dog aggression, or more severe behavioral concerns, specialized training is required. For aggression training, please refer to the “Aggression & Specialized Behaviour Modification” program, which includes detailed information on pricing and what’s included in this focused training program.

This program is for committed dog owners who want more than just obedience—they want a true partnership with their dog. Whether you’re addressing behavioral challenges or just seeking to deepen the bond with your dog, Breakthroughs for Life provides the tools, training, and ongoing support you need to succeed. Ready for your breakthrough? Your dog’s best life starts here!
