BPR was started with a friendship between Andrew and Luna. Luna was a rescued dog from northern Manitoba who traveled with her companion Andrew. She accompanied him on his trips where he worked up north as a registered nurse. It was her Love that gave him the desire to rescue dogs from northern communities. He wanted to
give people the same experience he had with his dog Luna and give the dogs a second chance at life. This Love from Luna gave Andrew even more passion and helped him to complete
his Certification for Professional Dog Training (CPDT-KA). Also, BPR follows strict standards
of training and Andrew is Fear Free Certified.
Focus Training Group Class
We know how important socialization and training are for our dogs, but what does proper socialization
and training look like? This class is designed to teach you how to go about handling new
social situations and give you the foundations and skills to help you and your pup explore
this complicated world.
You’ll be taught exactly how your dog learns and how best for you to communicate with your dog to give you
the greatest relationship possible! We follow strict fear free standards of training. We
don’t use physical coercion, but instead focus on behavioural modification through psychology.
Each session places a huge emphasis on socialization and increasing your dog’s stress threshold. In this class, we focus on teaching body language, socializing with a group of dogs and how to approach training with your dog. Each class focuses on disengagement, basic commands, paired cues, as well as recall cues. We’ll help you become your dog’s own
leader and trainer.
Just like people, every dog is unique in their own way and requires different training strategies.
All our training methods are done using fear free methods. Some of these training methods
and strategies include:
-
Paired Cues
-
Recall Cues
-
Disengagement
-
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviour
-
Positive Reinforcement
-
Luring
Cost: $160 Four classes running from 6:45pm - 7:45pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays

We are also adamant about teaching the families about which methods work best for the dogs.
This allows for their continued success throughout the dogs entire life.
BPR also believes in the importance of early education of puppies during their critical period of
life. Early education and fear free training should be accessible for every dog owner and dog.

Please contact Bark Lodge to sign up for upcoming sessions through phone, email or in store. All class sizes will be between 6-7 dogs, owner's will be responsible for bringing treats for a reward and a leash.

Please arrive a few minutes early to allow your dog to become familiar with the area so they are focused and ready once the class begins.
