Classes to Set Your Dog Up for Success

At Dogma, we are dedicated to creating an environment where your dog can thrive. Our spacious training bay allows us to run classes during quiet times, ensuring minimal distractions and stress for your dog. We take a thoughtful approach by allowing only one dog in the room at a time. As they become more comfortable, we gradually introduce additional dogs using visual barriers. We also offer dedicated spaces for dogs to decompress before their turn.

This attention to detail helps us build a strong and positive foundation for your dog’s success, setting them up for long-term growth and confidence.

Once your dog completes our foundational program, you can join our membership to access a variety of drop-in and topic-based classes. These classes offer flexibility and are tailored to address your dog’s specific needs. We focus on continued practice to help with fear, reactivity, and socialization with new dogs and people. Plus, we offer specialty classes in areas like agility, tricks, playtime, and more!

Reactive Urban Canine Program Options

Foundation Training

Before joining our comprehensive membership designed to support families living with fearful/reactive dogs, you begin with our foundation program. This lays a solid foundation and focuses on decompression and focus. It includes an in-person orientation to help you better understand your dog's behaviour and how to get the most from the training. It is then followed by 4 weekly in-person classes for you to teach your dog the foundation skills in a controlled, safe environment that sets you and your dog up for success.
