Drop The Leash is excited to announce that we are now offering a second location for our dog training classes in Markham, conveniently located near Hwy 7 & Hwy 48!

Both our Games that Train and Introductory Agility group classes are running on weeknights, find out more below!

Games That Train

Whether it’s “Calm down”, “slow down”, “ lie down” or even just “sit down” that you are looking for Games that Train! can help you create a happy, co-operative life with your dog.

You don’t have to become a dog trainer practicing endlessly to improve your dog’s social skills. You and your dog can both have fun and success while playing simple two-minute training games.

Games that Train! is an innovative six-week program that helps dogs of all ages develop:

Loose leash walking
Reliable recalls
Focus and attention on you in distracting situations
Impulse control – to eliminate jumping, biting, barking

What are the benefits of game-based training?

IT’S FUN!

It’s fun for both you and your dog. When learning is fun you and your dog will want to play more often!

FRUSTRATION AND FAILURE ARE REPLACED BY FUN AND SUCCESS

Games provide frustration-free learning. They are broken down into simple steps and success is built into every level. Both humans and dogs learn more effectively through consistent success.

GAMES WORK

The games are based on the very real science of animal learning and behaviour. They have been tested on many dogs in our programs so we know they work!

YOU CAN PLAY THEM ANYWHERE – FOR A DOG YOU CAN TAKE EVERYWHERE!

The games are portable and designed to be included easily into your daily schedule and activities. We will make sure that you know how to apply them in all real-life situations.

Classes run for 6 week sessions and are limited to 4 participants per class.

Introductory Agility

If you are looking for a super fun, social activity that builds communication and teamwork between you and your dog there is no better activity than agility.

We have to warn you though – it is highly addictive!

Agility is not only for canine and human athletes. People and dogs of all ages and physical abilities can participate successfully.

AGILITY TEACHES YOU AND YOUR DOG TO WORK AS A TEAM

Agility is an off-leash activity. We will show you how to build off-leash focus, attention and proximity in your dog as you develop communication skills that your dog can trust and depend on.

YOUR DOG WILL BE CALMER

Agility is great for helping your dog release their energy in a safe, fun way.
It also provides necessary mental stimulation and enrichment for those tireless high energy dogs.
We promise your dog will go home happier and more relaxed after their class.

YOUR DOG WILL BECOME MORE CONFIDENT

Agility is a great confidence builder for dogs that are anxious, shy or fearful. Confidence builds very quickly as they tackle the challenges of tunnels, fames and jumps.
