Build reliability and manners in your adult dog
For social adult dogs who need consistent obedience, better manners, or to work through a non-aggressive behaviour challenge. Four weeks of intensive training in a real home — not a kennel.
A note from Denise
Denise — Head trainer, Nisi & Lisi
Adult dogs can absolutely learn new behaviours — it just takes the right approach and consistency. If your dog knows what to do but chooses not to, or if you're struggling with pulling and over-excitement, this program is built for you.
Our two-year-old Lab came back with manners we didn't think were possible. Walking on leash is now a pleasure instead of a workout. Worth every penny.

FAQ
Is it too late to train my adult dog?
Absolutely not. Adult dogs learn extremely well — in some ways better than puppies because they have a longer attention span. The key is consistency, which is exactly what 4 weeks of intensive training provides.
What if my dog has some reactivity as well?
If your dog has mild reactivity alongside general manners issues, get in touch and we'll assess which program is the better fit. For dogs with significant aggression or reactivity, the Reactive Dog program is more appropriate.
How far do dogs travel to attend?
Dogs travel to us from across BC and Alberta. Pickup is available from Kelowna, Chilliwack and Vancouver, with Lower Mainland door-to-door starting July 2026.
Will the training stick when my dog comes home?
Yes — every program includes a full home orientation so you know exactly how to handle and maintain your dog's training. You also get 12 months of text and email support after your dog returns home.
