This is a free 2.5 hour orientation that allows you to become familiar with the training options, philosophy and foundation work offered at Canadian Canine Training. This is a pre-requisite to our training packages.

• We introduce the foundation work and review environment management (home routines) that are recommended in order to get the best results from your investment of time & training- based on your dog’s breed, age, sex and behaviours.

There is no obligation or tuition for the evening.
