Your puppy’s first few months shape the habits, confidence, and behaviour they carry into adulthood. That is why we built Arsenal Canine Academy’s Proactive Puppy program to help Calgary dog owners create the right foundation early—before small issues turn into bigger ones.
At Arsenal Canine Academy, our Proactive Puppy training program goes beyond basic commands. We help you build engagement, confidence, and better behaviour in real-life situations, not just in a quiet training space. Our goal is to help your puppy learn how to focus, respond around distractions, and grow into a calmer, more reliable companion.
What sets Arsenal Canine Academy apart is our long-term approach. Many puppy training programs offer a few lessons and leave owners on their own just as adolescence begins. We continue guiding you through that critical stage with structured coaching and ongoing support.
With Arsenal Canine Academy, you get more than a puppy class. You get a practical, results-driven program designed to help you raise a well-mannered dog with confidence. Book your consultation today to see whether our Proactive Puppy program is the right fit for you.
At Arsenal Canine Academy, our Proactive Puppy program is designed to help you create lasting results instead of temporary progress. We focus on four core areas:

We teach your puppy that you are the most important and rewarding thing in their world.

We help your puppy get the right exposure to dogs, people, and new situations without creating reactivity.

We build neutrality around loud noises, unfamiliar places, and everyday distractions.

We strengthen the human-dog connection so your puppy learns to look to you for direction.
Our Proactive Puppy program at Arsenal Canine Academy is built on structured development, clear communication, and consistency. We take a more intentional approach than standard puppy classes so you can build better habits early and avoid bigger issues later.

My 5 Month old Toy Poodle completed Puppy and Adult training over 2 months with use of leash and ecollar. She is still a baby but understands commands that I will continue to reinforce. Commands like focus (on me) Place (stay) Heel, Free (task over) Under (a table), Down(full lay down and stay) Recall(Leash to ecollar and then neither as she progresses) I'm happy with the foundation built. I was in school too because I learned alot. Talk less, give your dog a chance to learn. Be consistent patient calm. There are zoom calls with relative topics and Q&A sessions really worthwhile. Thank you to Seph Jess Amy and Tegan. You made it fun and informative. - KC, Calgary, AB
We brought our 7 month old German Shepherd pup for weekly day school for our guy to learn some manners and obedience. He was already a pretty good boy but now with these skills we are able to build more trust and reliability so he can make it through challenging moments. Seph is a phenomenal trainer and showed so much love to Rypien, and he loved being there too. Every week he was so proud to show off his skills and we are looking forward to building his confidence. - Petra G., Airdie, AB
Cannot recommend enough!
We had an amazing experience with the whole team. Amy is a great resource, she has been nothing but friendly and helpful. Seph and Jess are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. It’s clear the whole team cares about the dogs just as much as their owners do. Our puppy gets so excited to see them every time we arrive for a lesson.
We have noticed a significant positive change in our puppy’s behaviour and skills. I couldn’t believe the progress our puppy had made just after the first class! We’re grateful for the guidance and support we received throughout the process.
We have already signed up for more day classes to continue to support our puppy’s learning - Jordan J., Calgary, AB
