Proper training and socialization are among your dog’s basic needs. It’s important to start training your dog as soon as possible. Thoroughly understanding the most common dog behaviour problems is the first step to solving and preventing them. A solid foundation of obedience training will help you prevent or better control many of these issues.
All Creatures Great and Small is pleased to offer training for puppies and adult dogs, instructed by trainer Kyla McNeill, using the latest positive and motivational techniques.
Kyla’s passion for dog training began when she was 8-years-old and her family adopted a high-energy, independent, Siberian Husky. This special dog inspired Kyla to begin researching and learning everything she could about dog training, putting it into practice with her own dogs as well as family and friends’ dogs. Kyla has previously worked as a dog walker, in a dog daycare, apprenticed with another trainer and assisted in training classes prior to instructing training lessons independently.
Kyla strives to keep her knowledge and skills up to date by frequently attending and participating in seminars, workshops, and courses, both online and in person. Kyla attends events presented by well-respected trainers on an ongoing basis, which have previously included the following.
• The Links Between Canine Play and Aggression presented by Dr. Karen London.
