HOW TO SIGN UP:

1 To Sign Up Email: wonderdogs@wonderdogs.bc.ca
Please include your home and cell number, the times you would prefer and any relevant information about your dog.

2 CONTACT US SOON AS CLASSES FILL UP QUICKLY!

3 When you contact us, you will receive more details such as what to bring, which training venue is closest to you etc.

4 Please remember that the students rely on the dogs that are signed up, so please don’t book unless you can attend.

OPTION TWO:

At the first class of each group session we cover some very helpful information on problem behaviour prevention, safety and motivational training methods. Sessions are from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Please contact us for start dates. No dogs at these sessions - please bring pen and paper instead.

OPTION THREE:

To get some tips on getting your training started in your backyard, watch our free video clips online:

If you have a young puppy or dog with no training, click here.
If you have an adult small dog with some training, click here.
If you have an adult medium-large dog with some training, click here.

OPTION FOUR:

Enroll your dog in Doggie College! This option isn't 100% free but will cost you nothing and possibly give you a positive cash flow if you have a room to rent.

The current cost of Doggie College is 1500.00 but can be offset by the income you can make by housing a student while they attend our 12 week Professional Dog Trainers Program. Students pay approximately $500-$1200 / month for a furnished room or self enclosed suite depending on size etc. Food can be added for an additional charge. The average age of students is 35 and most are females. Approximately half the students come without dogs but would be happy to live with yours!

You can also arrange to have our student transport your dog to and from class each day which will save you time and gas money! If you have your dog in daycare, this option is a no brainer as it costs less and your dog will be attaining a great level of training!
