Due to the current COVID 19 situation in Toronto, effective immediately, NYOC is cancelling all training classes for the remainder of 2020.
We look forward to resuming classes when the situation improves.
*****************
In normal times, we offer training classes at various levels of ability for purebred and mixed breed dogs of all sizes. It is not necessary for you to be a club member in order to take our classes.
See below for class descriptions and times. Before registering, please check out our Training Philosophy, FAQs, and our Policies and Procedures as well.
There is no magic wand in dog training. We hope that our training classes will be fun for your dog. The classes will be work for you, though! Enjoyable work, hopefully! You will need to work with your dog 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes each preferably in a variety of locations e.g., at home, outside, away from home, in order for you and your dog to gain as much as possible from the classes.
