Outdoor Obedience | Real-Life Dog Obedience

Program Overview:

Outdoor Obedience is a fast-paced, practical dog training class in SW Calgary, designed to prepare you and your dog for all the adventures that summer brings—whether it’s late-night dog park visits, hikes, camping trips, or just enjoying a busy patio season together.

In this 6-hour course (4 × 1.5-hour sessions), we’ll focus on building the real-life obedience skills that actually matter out in the world. Think recall, leash walking, calm greetings, and keeping cool when distractions are everywhere. You’ll also get personalized “roadside assistance” to help tackle problem behaviours like pulling, jumping, or even squirrel-related chaos.

Dog Skills:

• Emotional regulation and settling in busy environments

• “Energy blasters” for big feelings (our secret sauce!)

• Sit, Down, Stay

• Polite greetings with people and dogs

• Loose-leash walking

• Navigating real-world distractions

• Recall (coming when called)

• Leave it

Human Skills:

• Building trust and a strong working relationship

• How to read and respond to your dog’s signals in real-time

• Support for jumping, pulling, ignoring you, and other common issues

• Practical tools for everyday success

• Leading with love (and nerdy know-how!)
