About Our School

Our motto is training should be fun for you and your dog!  We offer fun group and private training sessions and behaviour consultations for dog at all ages, as well as TTouch & behaviour workshop and seminars.  (Yes, your adult and older dogs can learn new tricks!)  Our focus is to help create the relationships of corporation and partnership between you and your dog, and to have your dog real-life ready through the exercises and games you and your dog can enjoy together. 
​
We offer an Intermediate Canine iLife Skills Course under PawFect Pups banner on Saturdays at Table View Primary School.  All pups and dogs who graduated puppy course, beginner course or with basic skills are welcome to join.  There is no age limit.  While we use a variety of exercises and training games to grow calmness and to build confidence, self-control and flexibility, the course puts emphasis on improving practical skills such as recall and loose leash walking.  Various TTouch techniques are also incorporated into the course.  Do you feel your dog needs a bit more training?  Join us!
TTouch workshops and behaviour seminars are offered time to time throughout the year.
