SERVICES
WCCA has a variety of services to choose from to best suit the needs of you and your dog. Training can begin as early as 8 weeks and can continue throughout your dog's life. You know the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."? Well, that is not true! Dogs love to be challenged, and we will keep you and your dog motivated and engaged through interesting, fun and challenging games and activities, regardless of the format you choose.
Group classes are a wonderful opportunity to train your dog in a safe environment with other dogs and distractions. Engaging with your dog during class is a great way to establish confidence and manners while building your relationship. We strive to keep our class sizes small so that you can experience high-quality instruction.
Refund policy: All classes are fully refundable up to 72 hours before the first class. After the 72 hour window has passed and once classes are in progress, the classes are non-refundable, non-transferrable and there are no makeup classes. Please think seriously about your schedule and commitment to training.
Private lessons are a great option if you want more focused and individualized attention. These lessons are particularly effective for owners who are experiencing a behavioral concern with their dog or can't not commit to a class. Private lessons are conducted at the handler's location, or a local park. Please call with any questions or to book a private lesson. Refund policy: Private lesson packages are non-refundable and must be used up within 60 days unless discussed otherwise.
Travel Fee Policy: 60KM round trip from Airdrie is included for all services; $0.50 cents per km driven in excess will apply each trip.
