PADOC holds classes three times a year beginning in September and ending in the spring. Each class runs for 8 weeks and is 130.00 for the 8 weeks. The classes start at puppy classes and go right up to classes for competition.
In the summer we hold informal fun sessions for members or anyone who would like to join us in parks or at our homes.

| This is a fundamentals class. The class is designed to be an introduction to basic manners for young dogs with no previous experience or training. We will learn sit, down, stay, leave it, come when called, polite leash walking, sit nicely for petting, and greeting of other dogs. We will be training using positive reinforcement. Students will be encouraged to use a clicker(although not mandatory), and rewards will be treats and toys. Please bring a flat collar, harness, or head halter and a six foot lead as well as your dog's favourite non-squeaky toy and small soft treats. |
Learn how to bring out the best in your dog by using positive reinforcement training in a class designed for dogs that have never taken a training class before. Throughout this eight-week course, we will teach you how to set your dog up to succeed. You will become your dog's teacher as they learn how to sit, down, sit nicely for petting, walk nicely on leash, greet other dogs politely, leave it, stay, and come when called, and we’ll have some fun with doggy sports and teach them some tricks. Learn games that are actually a training session in disguise. This is the class your dog will thank you for taking. |
These classes are done with a leash and a choke collar and no food. We find that we get more reliable results with dogs when we substitute lots of meaningful heartfelt praise. We train with lots of distractions that you can use to your advantage. This course lays the foundation for the perfect family pet or can lead to a variety of dog sports, such as Rally-O, competitive obedience, agility, or hunting. It is important to keep in mind that although obedience training is a competitive dog sport, the exercises are actually based on meeting the needs of the ideal family pet.
