Obedience Training

At Hounds Around Town, we believe that all dogs should undergo basic obedience training in order to become respectful and manageable members of the household.

Group classes are great because dogs develop focus and emotional control while experiencing a myriad of distractions.

But, not everyone can make it to group classes. With increasingly busy schedules it's becoming more and more difficult to find time to train the family dog...so we are pleased to now offer in home obedience lessons.

Update June 2008 - we have relocated but recommend you contact the following group in Sydney if you are looking for activities for you and your dog:

In Home Dog Training:

We are currently conducting training in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

We do not hold group classes but instead provide one on one training in your home or at an outdoor location if appropriate.

Please contact us to set up an appointment and assessment. We will customize our training to suit your needs. We can also offer basic agility fundamentals...

Please join our message boards too so we can generate some interest and setup up doggy playdates etc. in Cape Breton:
