Hello I am located in Abbotsford BC. What kind of training are you looking for and how old is your yorkie? That will give me an idea of who to refer you to depending on age of your dog and the kind of training you want. I know excellent people I can refer you to.

Hi Lorraine ! ....... Rosie is 5.5 years, weighs just 5#.

I'm just looking for the basics .......... sit, stay, heel etc and also to teach her not to pull when walking. I've tried to do it myself and Rosie is very smart, obedient and quick to learn but I don't think I'm doing it right ...... maybe its *ME* who needs the training ......... LoL !!!!!!!!

Then I have the best there is. This is the page for classes on their website
Classes They are not real cheap but wow they are good. You want the obedience classes. You pay for 4 classes at one time and it is cheaper. If there is a class you can't attend in that 4 weeks in a row, just tell them and they will have it shifted for you but be sure to tell them.
The location is at that hall, i think it is called Hammond Hall on 232 just south of Hwy 1 east side of 232 across from the Chevron gas station. I have been going to them for almost 10 years now for conformation classes with various dogs I have shown to championships over the years. They are also having an upcoming two day workshop at Cloverdale Fairgrounds end of Aug. Well worth it and i know you would both have a good time. You can attend both or just one day if you want, fees are not cheap but well worth it. I plan on going with my boy and am attending their conformation class at 5 pm Tuesdays.

Hi Lorraine ! ....... THANKS for the great information - I will be contacting them the later part of July when Rosie and I return from vacation. They are just a hoot 'n a hollar away from me so not hard to get to.

I'll probably go to the 4:00 pm. obedience.

Thanks again !

Hi Rosies Mom;
I see this is an old post, but did you ever go to Joy and Vaughn? If so, how did you find it? btw, I'm also in Langley or perhaps my avatar gave that away lol

[Rosie's Momma]

Yes, we did .... Didn't work for us

That's too bad. There is a Basic Manners and a Puppy Preschool at the Tisol in Langley.
I'm apprenticing with Trainer/Dog Behaviourist and these are their classes. Training method is based on positive reinforcement only. If you are close by you can always pop in and observe the classes. We have some fairly big dogs at the Basic Manners, but the puppy classes are a hoot. Anyways, something fo you to think about.

If you'd like to contact me privately I would feel more comfortable talking with you ...... barbrus@telusplanet.net

Langley Yorkie ..... If you'd like to chat please email me at address provided .... I find the "private messaging" on this forum to be just to difficult to use.

I was looking for a reform school for Leo (just joking) We start Monday at TNT training for a second class. Leo is 26 weeks old, my first PB Yorkie and a LOT more work than I expected. Might help that he is getting neutered on the 6th of March.
