At Belle & Bark, we know that no two dogs or dog guardians are alike. You might be short on time, managing behaviour issues, or looking for puppy guidance. Whatever the case, our training services are designed to help.

This guide will walk you through each of our training services, so you can find the right fit for your goals, your schedule, and your dog’s needs.

Private training: You and your dog, learning together

Private training is perfect for guardians who want to be actively involved in the process. We’ll meet with you one-on-one, either in person or virtually. These sessions focus on coaching, building foundational behaviours, and troubleshooting challenges.

We use clear, humane methods and follow the Humane Hierarchy to make sure your dog’s emotional well-being is always part of the plan.

You’ll learn how to train your dog using clear, humane methods, and we’ll make sure you have the resources and support to keep things moving between sessions.

Private sessions are a great fit for:

• New puppy guardians (8–18 weeks)
• Adolescent dogs (5–12 months) with big feelings and even bigger energy
• Adult dogs who need a refresher or are learning something new
• Behaviour consults for reactivity, anxiety, or other complex issues

Choose from single sessions or multi-session packages. We tailor each plan to your dog’s unique needs and your training goals.

Day training: We train your dog while you handle your day

Day training is ideal if you want to see progress but don’t have the time or bandwidth for hands-on daily practice. With this service, your Belle & Bark trainer works directly with your dog, typically two or more times per week, right in your home or neighbourhood.

You’ll receive detailed updates after each session. In addition, we schedule transfer sessions to help you maintain your dog’s new skills with confidence.

Day training is a great fit for:

• Busy professionals
• Dogs working on foundational skills, manners, or reactivity
• Guardians who want faster progress without the overwhelm

We offer tiered packages based on your goals, from short skill boosts to intensive, full-program training.

Consultations: Focused guidance without a long-term plan

Sometimes you just need a little clarity, whether you’re preparing for a new dog, choosing between a puppy or rescue, or looking for advice on a specific concern.

One-time consultations let you ask questions, get professional input, and walk away with a clear plan. There’s no pressure to commit to a full program. Our guidance is always grounded in force-free, humane training principles, so you can feel confident you’re starting off on the right paw.

Consults are ideal for:

• Pre-adoption prep or breed selection
• First-time dog guardians
• Transition planning for newly adopted dogs
• Behaviour questions or lifestyle adjustments
