Service Description

A 3-week group course for shy, cautious or unsure dogs who would benefit from building confidence around new experiences at their own pace. Across three weekly sessions, we’ll help your dog practise approaching, observing and moving away from unfamiliar situations without pressure, while building stronger communication and trust with you. First starting indoors, we’ll work with carefully introduced objects, surfaces, movement, sounds and other manageable challenges while reinforcing curiosity, recovery, check-ins and the choice to engage when your dog feels ready. Each session will begin indoors at the Pawblems Made Easy North York facility, where we can introduce and practise skills in a controlled environment. The final 15-20 minutes will be spent outdoors so you can begin applying those same skills in a more realistic setting. 🐾 COURSE LENGTH: 3 weeks ⏱️ SESSION LENGTH: Approximately 60 minutes per week 🐶 GROUP SIZE: Maximum 3 dogs 📍 LOCATION: 359 Marlee Ave, North York 🐕 SIZE: All sizes welcome Dogs will remain on leash throughout the course and do not need to interact with the other dogs attending unless suitable for all participating. This course is intended for dogs who can work indoors in the presence of other dogs with appropriate distance. If your dog cannot currently remain indoors around other dogs for an extended period, becomes highly distressed, or needs substantially more space than a small-group environment can provide, private training may be the better starting point. Training is positive reinforcement/reward-based, evidence-based and force-free. We do not use prong collars, shock or e-collars, leash corrections, intimidation or dominance-based training.
