Important Details

Justine (HalliDog Training) and Amy (Pitties2Poodles) collaborate skills and experience bringing you 2-3 classes per month at new locations with drills, pack walks etc for ongoing support after programs. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out via email.

  • Remember to wear weather and season appropriate clothing and footwear - this includes non slip shoes/boots, head lamps, gloves that you can still easily handle your dogs leash, etc.

  • Please, show up at least 15 minutes early to be ready to start at the times listed .Have all tools ON your dogs and ready to go prior to arriving at class

  • All dogs must be under owner control and leashed when exiting your vehicle - if you need assistance getting your dogs in or out of your vehicle and getting them under control when you arrive, please leave them in the vehicle and find Justine or Amy to assist.

  • If your dog is showing any signs of illness or exposed to illness within the last 14 days, please DO NOT come to class (low energy, cough, hack, fever, no appetite, etc)

  • All dogs wearing prong collars MUST HAVE SAFETIES ON (the small clip to ensure secondary support)

  • If your dog requires a muzzle, bring it and have it on hand (even if that's only sometimes)

  • Be respectful of other owners space and focus on your own dogs - we understand it's easy to get caught in conversation, but we need everyone to stay focused during class

  • In order to attend class, you must be able to have your dog under physical control, if you are struggling with leash pulling etc, please reach out to Justine and/or Amy for support. Respectfully, it would be best if you did not attend a large class until this is addressed, and we can't give too much one on one support in the class setting (unless planned).

  • Remember to bring food/treats for your dog to reward and encourage the behaviours you want

  • Bring your dog its own water and dish to hydrate after

Thanks for your understanding and ongoing support !

Ongoing support.

Large Group Classes are for private lesson and board and train dogs who’s owners come out to and continue to push their dog’s skills in different environments around judgement-free people, where they can feel safe and part of a community . This is part of the ongoing support we offer.
These typically take place in parking lots, open spaces, parks, trails, etc and we expect larger numbers for drills/organized classes. We link up with Pitties2Poodles to make classes that much more fun and diverse.
