Not Ready for a Program?
Start with a single session, no commitment to a curriculum. Every one is coached in person and matched to your dog's behaviour.
​
*An additional fee applies for dogs demonstrating aggression, reactivity or fear, determined at assessment.
Programs.
Two separate tracks: skill-building for obedience and off-leash reliability, and behavioural work for dogs who are reactive, anxious or overexcited. Start a consultation if you're not sure which track fits.

GOOD TO KNOW
Behavioural training may be covered by pet insurance.
With veterinary approval, training for reactivity or anxiety can often be submitted to your provider, and a portion of the cost may be reimbursed. We're certified to support behavioural cases and work alongside veterinarians to provide the documentation you need.
"Focus K9 taught us to set boundaries and give more structure to our dog's life.I used to get anxious before every walk — now I feel confident and know how to handle every situation that comes up."
