In-Person Workshops
At The Dog Classroom, we believe in the importance of life long learning. Workshops and seminars can be great supplements to the courses you take with your dog! They are also a great way to check out a new activity without committing to a 7-week course. We cover a variety of different topics for dogs (and humans!) to continue their education!
Neighbourhood Walking Workshops

Prerequisite: Beginning with Basics or permission of instructor
This semi-private outdoor workshop, guided by one of our experienced instructors, will allow you to practice your skills in the area your dog knows best - their neighbourhood!

Loose-Leash Walking Workshop
IN PERSON - WITH YOUR DOG
Is your dog's pulling making your walks unbearable? Tired of sore arms and shoulders after taking your dog out? Wish your dog would just slow down and quit running to the end of their leash?
Don't miss this two-session Loose-Leash Walking Workshop where you'll learn how to ENJOY your walks again! We'll cover training for both ends of the leash, including handling skills for the owner in addition to training games for the dogs.

Recall (Coming when Called) Workshop
IN PERSON - WITH YOUR DOG
Does it seem impossible some days to get your dog to come in from the backyard? Worried about what your dog might do if they slipped out the front door or got off their leash? Maybe you want to improve your dog's recall so you can hit up the hiking trails without worry.
If that sounds familiar, this Recall Workshop is for you! In this workshop we will cover choosing the right recall cue, different games to make coming-when-called FUN for your dog, and how to transition to off-leash skills.
Next session coming soon
