Service Description

A 3-week group course for dogs and pet parents working on resource guarding around food, toys, chews, stolen objects or other valued items. Across three weekly sessions, we’ll focus on helping your dog feel safer around people approaching valued resources while teaching practical skills that reduce conflict and make everyday situations easier to manage. First starting indoors, we’ll work on trades, voluntary releases, approaching and moving away safely, preventing chase-and-grab patterns, reading early signs of discomfort and helping your dog learn that people near their resources can predict good things rather than loss. 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.
