The puppy classes were really great. They definitely taught us a lot, and we have done puppy classes in the past. The trainers were excellent and we don’t have a single suggestion for making the classes any better than they were. Many thanks!
We felt the trainers were very well organized, approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. All those traits were very important to us. The information from the classes being emailed to us for review/reference was a great idea and very useful. We heard about Obedience Unleashed Dog Training through my sister who also used this service. She found the company because she used to work with the owner in law enforcement. The trainers were always punctual and very knowledgeable in their field. I would say they were experts. The trainers answered our questions well and always had ready examples to share. We loved that they had their own dogs there to help with the training too. I would definitely refer Obedience Unleashed Dog Training to a friend!
Dog Training Method: Marker Training Sessions
What is marker (or clicker) training?
In a nutshell, it’s an animal training method based on behavioural psychology that relies on marking desirable behaviour and rewarding it. This black and white method of communication helps dogs through positive reinforcement and will revolutionize the way that you train your dog. This class will teach you about the power of training your dog with food rewards and will focus on building the dog/handler relationship through engagement and motivation.
During the class you will learn the basic concepts of luring, leash pressure and shaping of behaviours. We will also cover classical/operant conditioning and discuss how to build motivation in your dog through productive play. Marker training can be used to train any behaviour, from basic obedience and tricks to behavioural modification.

Testimonials
Our fur kids just love coming here! We are relatively new to the Fraser valley and were a little worried about our oldest dog adjusting to a new daycare. We knew he loved his old one because he would happy cry and get excited when dropped off. He does this with obedience unleashed now too! They love going to daycare here and always come home completely played out from hanging with some other pups. Marie is always kind and prompt and the rest of her staff are just outstanding as well from what I’ve seen so far. The “pupdates” during their boarding/daycare is also a nice touch. Thanks for being a much loved haven for our dogs!
