Next Start Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025

Imagine life with a well-mannered, confident dog—one who behaves beautifully at home and out in public, around family, friends, and guests.

Our Manners & Obedience Program is designed to help your dog develop calm, polite behavior even in distracting environments. Through positive, practical training, you’ll work together to build a strong foundation of trust, communication, and responsiveness.

During the course, you and your dog will learn essential skills, including:

Sit and Sit-Stay
Down and Down-Stay
Loose-leash walking
Proper greetings (no jumping!)
Reliable recall (coming when called)
Focus exercises that teach your dog to pay attention to you instead of other dogs or people

This course is a great fit for friendly, social dogs who need help refining their manners.

Please note: These classes are not suitable for dogs experiencing aggression, reactivity, or significant fear-related behaviors.

What if I already completed Level 1?

For those who have already completed Level 1, this program serves as an excellent "Re-Fresher" class. We offer it at a discounted rate, making it the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your dog and tackle new distractions together.

"I would recommend every dog owner to take your dog to any class with Jane. Our Mocha is still a puppy at 7 months old but enjoys the class and is learning so fast. If you invest in your dog with Jane it will be worth it. We are almost finished but cannot wait to take another class. Thank you Jane for all you do."

"I highly recommend Ditto's Canine Learning Centre! Jane is very in touch with the dogs, and excellent with teaching us humans the best ways to teach our dogs! She makes classes fun and enjoyable! I have taken two classes to date, and will definitely be taking more!"

Chantal Jacklyn

"We were enrolled in the Winter (2018) puppy class. The results are fantastic! I would highly recommend this to any puppy / dog owner. Although it was a sizeable group Jane always made time to reassure & council all of the participants. She was always a phone call / email away to help you out with sage advice. Our puppy is well on the way to being a sweet & well behaved member of our family thanks to Jane."

Claude Roch

"Tilli is our one year old Labrador. We recently completed level one with Ditto’s and we learned so much and had fun. Jane is very gentle with the dogs and patient with the people. And she always has her team with her so you and your dog get lots of attention. Take a class, you won’t regret it."

Peggy Jefferson Hopper

"My Boys just finished Level 1 tonight. I love Jane and her instructors. They are all very helpful. This was the second time I have taken a dog to her classes. I have been more than pleased with how my Boys have learned so quickly with the step by step directions that Jane gives. I would and have recommended Ditto’s to all my animal loving friends."

Tabatha Allen

"We enrolled our 6 month old Golden Retriever, Marley. We all really enjoyed the classes. Jane and her group are very knowledgeable and helpful and have great, easy ways of teaching their techniques. Thank you Ditto's Canine Learning Centre!"

Tanya Wentzell-Knickle

"Four of our dogs have attended classes - Puppy and Level One Obedience - at Ditto’s.After years of dog ownership, we enjoy learning the new passive approach. All dogs require love, care and training. Without hesitation, we would recommend taking your dog to Ditto’s."
