Upcoming Classes
Play Smart: Off-leash Skills Lab
Tuesday April 21st / 7:15 PM / Indoor / Facility / General Adult Dogs
Thursday May 14th / 7:15 PM / Indoor / Facility / General Adult Dogs
A trainer-led class focused on building real-world off-leash skills through safe, structured social play. This is not a free-for-all as play is intentionally paused to practice recall, check-ins, disengagement, and calm re-entry.
Ideal for social dogs who enjoy off-leash interaction and for guardians who want skills that make play reliable and safe.
Dogs must be social, fully vaccinated, and approved for group play.
Dogs Who Hit the Town — Reactive-Friendly
These Wednesday evening classes take reactive and sensitive dogs progressively further into real-world urban environments — building from around the facility to a full neighbourhood adventure across the month. Each class counts toward the Dogs Who Hit the Town profile badge.
Commercial Area Skills Wednesday April 22 / 6:30 PM / Around the Facility / Reactive-Friendly
Busier environments, calmer dogs. We move into more stimulating commercial spaces to practice focus, recovery, and real-world neutrality around foot traffic, storefronts, and unpredictable movement. Building on Neighbourhood Distractions, this class adds complexity and distraction while keeping dogs well within a manageable threshold.
Urban Canine Adventure Wednesday April 29 / 6:30 PM / Neighbourhood / Commercial Area / Reactive-Friendly
The graduate outing. The April finale for our reactive dogs. We take everything built indoors and around the facility into a real urban environment with dogs navigating the town with confidence, skills, and their family member(s) beside them. Focus areas include engagement under real-world pressure, recovery after unexpected triggers, and focus in a busier setting. Every dog who makes it here has earned it.
Real World Intro Wednesdays May 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th / 6:30 PM / Around the Facility or Inside depending on Weather / Reactive-Friendly
We practice engagement, pattern games, and calm navigation around everyday neighbourhood distractions at your dog's threshold, with plenty of space and certified trainer support.
This is a structured, low-pressure introduction to working in a real-world environment without the overwhelm of a busier setting
