Training Approach

Karen is skilled in using a variety of training approaches from "traditional" to technical to innovative socialization approaches. She will recommend and coach you on the approach that will best achieve the goals that you have set for you and your dog. Top

Dogs-4-Dogs Social Club - One of the biggest challenges facing urban and suburban dog owners today is the lack of opportunities to offer SAFE socialization for their doggie pals. Most dogs live in relative isolation from other dogs throughout their adult life. Many traditional obedience ‘group’ classes teach only standard obedience commands in a structured classroom environment. Doggie socialization is generally not part of these classes, and in fact, is often discouraged in the interest of ‘dog/owner safety’. Dogs are their own best teachers when it comes to learning how set boundaries and to respect and make ‘friends’ with other dogs.

Ontario E-lite Dog Training provides a safe, structured program for dogs to learn how to be dogs! Dogs–4–Dogs is a social club available each weekend for free to E-lite graduates. At Dogs-4-Dogs, dogs can once again ‘be dogs’, interacting and socializing in a safe, supervised open field outdoor area. Top
