We are a positive reinforcement based training company located in Sarnia, Ontario. We believe in creating lasting human and canine relationships in a fun, yet structured environment.
Our Advanced Obedience program is a continuation of our Intermediate Obedience program. We work on fine tuning, progressing, and solidifying all of the previously learned skills to be fully dependable in daily life. We also introduce some new skills such as off leash heeling and leash walking. We continue to challenge and progress the dogs overall focus, as well as work on furthering their 'place' cue with distance sends to their beds/cots, and extended stays.
All of these skills are practiced with increasing distraction that the dogs would experience in day to day situations out of the home, and inside the home. Through the six week program this creates handler focused dogs that can excel in any environment they encounter!
Please note dogs attend all six weeks of this program.
Please bring your dog's cot/bed to week one of class!

Our Intermediate Obedience program is a continuation of the Novice Obedience program. This program continues to solidify excellent handler engagement and focus, despite numerous different distractions. We continue to build on the dog’s ability to make good life decisions by manipulating their environment, and heavily reinforcing the behaviours we would like to see repeated.
This program expands on the basic skills learnt in Novice, as well as introduces many new invaluable skills. We expand on leash walking proficiency, prolonged stays, impulse control dependability, and reliable recalls. We begin to teach bed/cot training, and appropriate behaviours during introductions to people and other dogs.

Our Novice Obedience program is suitable for dogs of all ages and all breeds. If you have a pup who needs to learn basic manners, a teenage dog who struggles with distractions, or an older dog who needs a boost in confidence, this program is suitable for all.
In this program we cover basic obedience skills such as ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘leave-it’, ‘focus’, recalls to handlers, amongst other behaviours that make for a well-rounded companion. We also put a large emphasis on leash walking skills and maintained stays. We practice all of these skills with increasing distractions such as toys, food, other people, and other dogs. This prepares the dog to focus, and look to their owner for direction when in many different environments and situations.

A drop in class for agility students who are currently enrolled in one of our agility classes, or have taken an agility class with Flash Go. Dog Training previously. All levels welcome, the course can be adjusted based on skill and experience. Drop in will consist of course running, and breaking it down into pieces to work on individual skills and challenges.
Our Reactive Rover program is suitable for dogs that react to other dogs, people, and many other things they encounter in day to day life. Dogs may display their reactivity aggressively, fearfully, anxiously or overly excited. Their behaviours towards their triggers may include barking, growling, raising their hair, lunging, pulling on the leash, tail tucking, shaking, or running away. All different types of dogs who struggle with these reactions would benefit from this program by learning to handle and deal with their triggers in a new, positive way and turning to their handler for guidance, comfort, and direction.
This class will provide owners and handlers with the critical skills required to safely assist their dog and navigate daily challenges that may arise in their homes or communities. The class will build trust and confidence between the handler and their dog utilizing only positive-reinforcement and counter-conditioning methods.
