dog training

We are proud to offer dog training services to our clients in the Tri-Cities area of British Columbia, including Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and all over the Lower Mainland in areas such as Vancouver, Burnaby and, New Westminster.

A major aspect of loving our dog is to ensure that it is well adjusted in our lives and happily integrated into society. Roz Wei is dedicated and passionate about ensuring that his students are well equipped and competent to fulfill these goals through proper training and knowledge. Roz has a degree in psychology, which he finds useful in dog training since a lot of training is based on principles of classical and operant conditioning. All of Roz’s methods emphasize positive reinforcement and do not include harsh negative corrections and gear (e.g. Choke chains). Roz has, and still is, training under the guidance of renowned and well-respected trainer Joan Klucha. He enjoys attending seminars focused on all aspects of bringing up a well-behaved, happy and healthy dog. The most recent seminar Roz attended featured dog ‘guru’ Dr. Patricia McConnell. Roz continues to upgrade his skills and knowledge through all means possible. He is currently loved and owned by ‘Niko’ who is a two-year-old German Pinscher.

PUPPY PRESCHOOL (Duration: 6 weeks)
Many aspects of bringing up a healthy and well-adjusted puppy are taught. A major focus of this class will be on socialization and developing proper play skills while building up your puppy’s confidence and self-control. Guardians will learn good leadership skills, the phases of puppy development, house training, diet and nutrition, exercise needs, appropriate play toys, hand feeding, and a ‘calming’ technique. How to deal with problems such as nipping and biting, food guarding and puppies that jump up are addressed. The groundwork of obedience will be laid. This includes commands such as: ‘Sit’, ‘Down’, ‘Wait’, Recall, ‘Watch me’ (Focus), ‘Leave it/Take it’, the ‘Release’ command and how to ‘Go say Hi’ to a stranger. Leash work is introduced and includes the beginnings of heeling and learning to walk nicely on leash.
