Whatever your training needs, Paragon Pooch has a program to meet them. I can train your dog in whichever environments and situations you need him to behave, be it at home, at work, on walks, or in public.
Day training programs cover everything from solving a particular behaviour issue to a creating a fully trained dog from scratch
Two-Week Mischief Managed Program
Your dog’s general behaviour is fine, but there’s one thing that’s driving you crazy like pulling on leash, jumping on people or playing keep-away when you call him. A two-week fix-up may be just what you’re looking for to set things straight.
Your dog learns:
- Whatever is needed to solve that one nagging problem that you just can’t figure out. Your dog may also learn some extra behaviours in the process such as better focus or impulse control or a better recall.
Program includes:
- primary consultation to determine your dog’s training needs, your priorities, and to create a custom training plan to get the job done
- two weeks of dog training in your home or other suitable environment
- three 60-minute training sessions per week
- one 60-minute transfer lesson each week where I teach you and family members the skills needed to maintain the training
- regular training updates and videos so you can keep abreast of your dog’s progress and what he is learning
Best suited for:
- dogs that have some training, but whose owners need help with a particular problem
- trained dogs whose owners want to teach a new skill such as off-leash walking
- dogs whose training needs refreshing
Cost: $800 + taxes plus traveling fees if applicable

Programs for Special Cases
Your dog is in a category all of his own? No worries! For other training or behaviour needs, or for dogs that lunge and bark on leash, or have aggression, fear or anxiety issues, a custom program is necessary to address these problems.
