Puppy Classes
You've brought your new puppy home: Congratulations!
On the long list of "to-dos" and things puppy needs, don't wait to start your puppy's education. Puppies are amazing learners and the lessons they learn early will stick with them for life. That's why InSync Canines has classes for puppies as young as 8 weeks - we understand the value of early education and want to help you bring out the best in your puppy at this critical stage in their life. After all- what puppies learn first, they learn best. We can help you ensure those lessons are good ones that will help create a great canine citizen.
COVID-19 Updates:
InSync Canines operates under "Animal Services", specifically Pet Training Services. Pet services have been granted permission to continue operation, including during lock downs). More information regarding this can be found on the Ontario Government website.
During operation, we will continue following guidelines put forth by Halton Public Health.
To keep our numbers to a minimum, we ask that only one family member per household attend classes at this time to allow us to keep a safe distance between trainers. In addition, anyone entering InSync Canines must wear a mask. Thank you!
