We’ve partnered with City Dogs to create Toronto’s best dog training experiences for our Uberdog families.
Dogs are our loyal companions but they don't always behave the way we want them to. Dog parenting is real and raising a well-mannered fur baby takes time and effort. Preparing a puppy for a successful life in a human world or helping an older four legged friend overcome an emerging behaviour has only rewarding and beneficial impacts on the quality of life together.
The training experiences that are available to Uberdog families are focused on dog AND parent development. They are fun, enriching, educational and engaging activities that the whole family can enjoy.

TRAINING CLASSES
Agility
There is no better place for agility than Uberdog Athletic Club! Come out and learn the basics of tunnels, jumps, platforms and weave poles in Beginner Agility, add the teeter totter and a-frame obstacles as well as speed in Intermediate Agility and then start to have some friendly competition in Advanced Agility..
Solo Agility Classes
Is your dog people or dog reactive and unable to focus during classes? We have the perfect solution for you! Use our space and equipment with just you, your dog and your trainer. These are drop-in sessions so you can come as often as you like.
Polite Pups
Chaos to Calm
Do you have an adolescent dog that seems to be a little over exuberant on a walk, when you have guests or just in general? This class addresses how to create calm in a variety of situations.
Losing It on the Leash
Does your dog lunge, bark and carry on when on a leash, but perfectly happy off the leash? This class deals specifically with leash frustration, which is very common. We address the reasons why and techniques that will help create a more zen walk for you and your dog.
Good Manners for Kids and Pups
This class helps to build the relationship between children ages six and above and their dog of any age. We will teach children about dog body language, games that are fun to play (and avoid any sort of rough play) and fun tricks that they can teach their dog. We will also teach safety and calmness (for both children and dogs) on a walk.
2-Session Workshops
We get down to the roots of Jumping, Leash Pulling, and Recall – the three most important skills. Choose the one(s) you need help with most and see the results fast while practicing in real-life scenarios.
Private Dog Training
Whether you have a puppy ready to start off on the right paw, a new rescue getting used to your new home, or a dog going through some difficult behaviours, we are prepared for all sorts of training including leash walking, recall, calm greetings, barking, reactivity, fear and anxiety, and even aggression. We will work with you to achieve your goals through science-based methods that are educational and fun for both you and your dog.
