Day Training

Our Day Training programs at DogMore Academy enables our professional team to work with your dog throughout the course of a day.

 

These programs are popular for a number of reasons. Rather being confined to the allotted timeframe of a private lesson, we can achieve amazing results with your dog in a shorter amount of time.

With any of our Day Training programs, you will have the opportunity for follow-up appointments (either in your home or at our facility) and your dog will have lifetime access to our popular WalkMore Drop-In Clinics. 

We offer a range of different Day Training programs. The best program for your dog will depend on your overall dog training objectives. We are happy to help you select the best option for your dog!

Private Lessons

DogMore Academy’s one-on-one private lesson programs are perfect for dog owners who want to build a solid, stable and reliable relationship with their dog.

 

In these sessions, we’ll work with you to understand your specific aims and objectives. The foundation of a successful human-dog partnership is mutual respect, trust and understanding.  

 

We’ll get to the bottom of any undesirable behaviors or unwanted issues. We’ll help you to understand why your dog is behaving in a certain manner – and work to resolve any problems.

 

Our lessons are fully customizable, with different packages to suit you and your dog training needs. Every dog is different!

 

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dog training methods – we want to work with you and your dog.

Online Dog Training

Coming soon to DogMore Academy, we are excited to introduce an online dog training program which will be available to dog owners around the globe!

Our online program will enable you to access an ever-expanding library of training resources. You’ll gain the knowledge you need to work effectively with your dog – all at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home.

In addition, you’ll get monthly tips on health and nutrition, plus exclusive access to Q&A sessions with the DogMore Academy team.
 

We’ll be launching this in the very near future, so stay tuned for further updates!
