Private Dog Training in Ponoka
Sometimes group classes aren’t the right fit.
That’s where private training comes in.
More than just dog training, it’s a team effort between you and your dog to build confidence and work through problem behaviors.
Everything we do is fear-free, force-free, and reward-based, so learning feels safe and positive for both of you.
If you’re in Ponoka, you’ve got two options:
We come to you* — in-home sessions are perfect if you’d like to tackle challenges right where they happen.
You come to us in Lacombe — many pet parents make the short drive of approximately 20 minutes for focused sessions at our training space.
Either way, private training gives you a custom plan, hands-on support, and a calm environment that helps your dog (and you) make real progress. Create a happier life for you and your dog, one paw at a time.

Local Dog-Friendly Tips
Ponoka’s Off-Leash Dog Park could be ideal for practicing recall, socialization, and calm greetings.
Short walks around town or scenic trails can reinforce what your dog learns in class, while helping you bond in real-life situations.
Please note: While off-leash parks can be fun for some dogs, they’re not the right fit for every pup. Always consider your dog’s comfort level and training needs before visiting.

My dog has separation anxiety, can they participate?
The way our classes work is that we’re not actually training your dog; rather, we’re teaching you the techniques you need to teach your own dog (exception being our Day Training service)
Are indoor and outdoor environments included?
It depends on the particular program; we train in varied settings to help dogs generalize their skills.
What if my dog has learned bad habits at home?
Group classes provide techniques to replace unwanted behaviors with appropriate alternatives, along with lesson recaps after each class.
For step-by-step, personalized guidance, we recommend booking private training.
