Behaviour Questions? Training Setbacks? We've Got You Covered

Raising a dog doesn't stop at puppyhood. Whether your dog is 1 year old or 10, it's never too late to improve behaviour, strengthen communication, and work through challenges together. Join the HBSPCA and K9 Principles Dog Training for a free, Ask a Trainer webinar workshop, focused on adult dog training and behaviour. This 1-hour session offers you direct access to a certified dog trainer who will answer real questions from real dog owners — including yours. From pulling on the leash to improving recall, reactivity, fearfulness, jumping, excessive barking, and more — this webinar is a great opportunity to get expert, practical advice tailored to the needs of adult dogs and their guardians.
