Mindful Munchkins Puppy Level One
(Up to 12 months)
Your puppy is older now and you are onto the next step in their development. Those naughty behaviours they once did while they were smaller aren't so cute anymore. Now that they have graduated preschool and learned some foundation skills, it's time to teach them about real life obedience and proper manners.

Mindful Munchkins Puppy Level Two
Now your puppy is moving into adulthood and you would like to continue their training to proof those foundation behaviours and keep their mind busy. Puppy Level One is a recommended prerequisite.

Puppy Parties
Puppy Club Socialization Group
(Up to 12 months old)
It is recommended that puppies attend a puppy socialization class and practice regularly, but what types of interactions should puppies have? What if there aren't any in your area? While some owners focus just on exposing puppies to many people and situations, it’s important to actually make sure that the puppy is having a positive experience and learning something good. A lot of people ultimately find themselves taking their puppy to a dog park. This is not a good place for any puppy. They become completely overwhelmed when they get swarmed by the dogs already there waiting for them at the gate. Dog parks are complete with germs, unknown dogs, and dogs that display inappropriate behaviours while their owners are off socializing with other humans. It takes only a second for one of those dogs to give your puppy a bad experience, making your puppy fearful and possibly reactive to other dogs as they age, for the rest of their life.
Puppy Club was created for puppies to come together for safe structured free play and socialization activities. Puppy Club is held at Wizard of Paws supervised by a certified trainer to teach the puppies about appropriate socialization. Contact us if you are not sure which your puppy would qualify for. Drop off your energetic pup while you walk the Farmer's Market and pick up a tired one! A tired puppy is a happy puppy.
By starting early and being consistent you will provide the best chance that your pup will grow into a happy confident dog.
Puppies are required to have ONE set of age appropriate vaccines. Wondering about bringing your young puppy to come and play? Check out this position statement from the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviour, and here for the Post Pandemic Socialization Guide.
We limit spaces to 5 puppies max per play room.

Camp Paws Day Camp
Dogs need structure and we can't say that enough. It is so important to teach your dog to have appropriate skills around other dogs. Did you know that co-existing should be 49% of your dogs socialization, and only 1% interacting? Co-existing is going into social environments and having your dog co-exist with everything in that environment besides you. This means no one or their dog harasses your dog and your dog doesn’t harass anyone or any dog either. Interacting should be 1% of your dogs socialization, this is one of the reasons why dogs are so poorly socialized. It’s because everyone thinks socialization should be 99% interaction, yet that’s what we call hyper-socialization. Activities like dog parks, play-all-day daycares and letting your dog play with anyone and their dog is all hyper-socialization. This is the cause for majority of your dogs undesired behaviours when it comes to socializing. This means that most of each visit is filled with enrichment games, training exercises, and structure, in addition to supervised play and interaction. A trial run is required for all new day campers. We ensure all of our camp counsellors are fully certified trainers. Camp Paws is offered Tuesday-Friday, full day drop off between 8am-9am and pickup between 5pm-6pm, and half day pickup between 12pm-1pm.

Behaviour Modification
For dogs that are having behaviour challenges
This program covers a wide variety of behaviour, from severe aggression to excitement greetings.
It is a great option to fine tune any behaviours after completion of another program, to stay consistent with training or if you have old unwanted behaviours that you want resolved.
If your dog has been deemed helpless, put on a muzzle order, has an attack or bite history, severe separation anxiety, reactivity, fear, resource guarding, barking, jumping, pulling on leash, lacking impulse control, doesn't listen, has zero recall, issues with distractions out in public, or is on behaviour related medication.
The lessons are personalized and take place at a location based on your dog's needs, whether at our facility, your home, or out in public; tell us a behaviour you want changed and we will make it happen, there isn't a dog we'll turn away.

"Not sure where we would be without her!"
"We got our new puppy, Henry, when he was almost 16 weeks old and knew we needed to start with training quickly, but didn't know where to start. We were referred to Wizard of Paws by a friend and we immediately started 1 hour personal training sessions with Maddisen in our home on a weekly basis.
She guided us through the training each week with great patience, provided us with homework to work on each week and got us to graduation within 6 weeks for his Puppy Level 1 program. We continue to work with her monthly to work in new areas of focus. I feel confident when I am out with Henry that he will not bite other dogs or children, and he will come when he is called. He gladly engages in training with Maddisen anytime she is here, and is so excited to see her. Not sure where we would be without her! Thank you Maddisen and Wizard of Paws for all of your assistance and look forward to working together with you moving forward with our Henry."
