The C.O.O.L Course
C.O.O.L. stands for Canine Outdoor Obedience and Lifestyle course!
Cultured Canines’ fantastic reputation for long lasting results comes from this group course.
This is not your ordinary dog training class.
This is an entire LIFESTYLE for you and your dog. We will teach you how to incorporate dog training into your everyday life. This class will show you how you can have a good dog, no treats required. You will be given the knowledge to teach and train your own dog.
Every hands on class is hosted outdoors. Your dog will learn to listen to you in any situation, with multiple distractions. Classes are hosted at dozens of locations such as Marda loop, Olympic Plaza, Stephen Ave, and Eau Claire.
After only five weeks your dog will be able to walk next to you off leash regardless of their current age or behavior.

The training plan for reactive and aggressive dogs might look a bit different than for other dogs though. Quite often, further intervention is not needed, but we may need to look at other training tools and methods to resolve these issues. We may suggest private lessons in addition to the course to fully address your dog’s needs. Reactive/Aggression private lessons are only available to COOL Course Participants.
