Good As Gold training programs
Group Training Classes
From puppy training classes, on-the-town sessions, competition obedience and agility classes, and K9 nosework, we offer a variety of classes that support your dog’s development.
Signature Programs
Calm Canines is what we’re known for: a foundational program that supports your dog as they learn to manage their reactive behaviour and gives you the tools you need to build a great relationship with your dog.
Private Training
If group settings aren’t for you, we have private training options to support the continued development of your dog. Held in our state-of-the-art training facility, you will be able to see results and grow your connection with your dog.
Events
From first aid training to international educators, we love to offer innovative sessions for our community to grow their skills and interest in dog behaviour.
