Choose your session type
Every session is 60 minutes in length and includes a personalized training plan, practical strategies you can use right away, and a detailed follow-up summary with clear next steps.
Virtual Consult
Meet with a certified behaviour consultant via Zoom from the comfort of your home. We'll get to know you and your dog, answer your questions, and build your training foundation together. Any follow-up in-person sessions can skip the intro and go straight to hands-on work.
In-Home Consult
Your certified trainer comes to you, working alongside you or on their own with your dog in your everyday environment. Real-life challenges get tackled in the exact setting where they happen - your home, your yard, your street. The most convenient option, with results that stick.
Facility Consult
A focused session at the Dogma facility. Work one-on-one with a certified trainer in a structured environment designed for real-life training setups. Available as a drop-off session or with you and your dog together - whatever works best for your goals.
Training packages
Every package follows a virtual-first structure: an opening consult to build your plan, focused in-person sessions for hands-on work, and a final virtual session to review progress and map your next steps. Each session is 60-minutes in length. All packages must be completed within 3 months of purchase.

Common questions
Where do you travel for in-home sessions?
In-home sessions are available within 50km of our Chinook facility. Travel is included within 20km, which covers most of Calgary. A flat $45 fee applies for addresses 20β50km away. Outside 50km? Email us and we'll see what we can do.
What's the difference between drop-off and human-included facility sessions?
Drop-off sessions have your trainer work directly with your dog β great for reactive dogs or building focus in a new environment. Human-included sessions bring you into the work so you learn the techniques hands-on. We'll recommend the best fit when you book.
Do I need to start with a virtual consult?
We recommend it β it means any in-person session can go straight to hands-on work with no intake time lost. But it's not mandatory. If you've trained with us before or have a clear goal, you can jump straight to the session type that suits you.
I'm a member β do I book the same way?
For facility sessions during business hours (10amβ3pm), log into your Gingr portal β your full training history is there and keeps your trainer informed. For virtual and in-home sessions, use the member booking links on this page.
How long do I have to complete a package?
All packages and bundles must be completed within 3 months of purchase. We find this keeps the momentum going and produces the best results for you and your dog.
