TNT Training
A Deluxe heated training facility built for the purpose !
At TNT we offer a wide variety of training classes, or one on one private lessons. Our purpose built training center has fully rubber matted floors, jumps, mirrors, a washroom and is heated. Our classes are based on positive reinforcement and come highly recommended by veterinarians and breeders alike. We do not take dogs in for training. YOU learn how to train your own dog. He needs to learn how to respond to you, not us.
Classes We Offer
General Training Information
All family pet obedience classes run for 6 weeks. The class is one hour long. The cost (cash or cheque only) is $125 (GST INCLUDED). There are usually 5 to 9 students per class. All particpating dogs must have Parvo and Distemper vaccines that are current within a 3 year period. Rabies vaccines must be current within a 3 year period, and Bordettela (for kennel cough) must be current within a 1 year period. Puppies under 6 months old are exempt from requiring a rabies vaccine. Classes are run year round, and they do fill very quickly so early registration is suggested.
Our instructors at TNT are all multiple dog owners. Their lives and activities revolve around their dogs and have for the past 20 years. They are breeders & competitors and we are fortunate to have them to share their expansive knowledge with us at TNT. Our instructors also attend seminars thru-out the year to keep their training skills up to date.
Puppy Kindegarten / Socialization
This class is recommended for puppies between the ages of 9 weeks old to 6 months old. If you have a larger breed we recommend you start by 9-10 weeks old, and usually no later than 4 months old. Smaller breeds are often more comfortable starting classes between 3-6 months of age. Please call us to discuss what would be best for your puppy.
Puppy class concentrates on basic manners skills, and also encourages socialization with the other puppies and class members, as well as children. An obstacle course is set up one evening to build confidence as well as fun, fun, fun! We are here to answer your training questions as your puppy developes into a young adult.
Puppy Kindegarten classes are one hour in length and run for 6 weeks. Cost $125 (gst included).
