Professional Dog Training Classes in Stony Plain
Training your dogs not only makes them easier to manage but strengthens your bond and gives you a way to clearly communicate with them. At E&E Kennels, we provide a number of dog training classes, from basic obedience training and competitive agility training to puppy kindergarten and rally obedience. Our courses are designed for dogs of different ages and abilities; our professional trainers have years of experience and are dedicated to making training enjoyable for both dogs and humans.
Conformation Classes
This is a drop-in class: you do not need to register.
Dog showing can be a fun-filled canine activity! If you’re interested in showing your dog, learn the trade from two experienced handlers. The conformation class is $10 (no GST) per dog every week and the payment is due at the start of class. Attendees will be given the option to purchase a punch card for $50. By prepaying for five classes, you will receive the sixth one for free. (One punch card per dog, one punch per class.) The free sixth class deal is unavailable for people who don’t buy our punch cards.
$10.00 per dog/class or $50.00 per dog/five classes, sixth class free.

Puppy Kindergarten Classes
Prerequisites: Maximum age of 5 months old, at least the first two sets of puppy vaccines.
The Puppy K class is intended to help puppies socialize during their most formative weeks; this class helps you build a bond with your puppy while giving you the skills to raise a well-behaved, well-cared-for dog. It is a fun class of constructive, experience-oriented activities that will introduce owners to the basics of puppy care, training, and handling. The class focuses on socializing your pup with other dogs and people in a productive, structured way as well as exposing them to novel sights and sounds. Canine social skills and owner knowledge of body language and appropriate play is developed through short, supervised off-leash play sessions at the end of each class.
We recommended owners continue with Beginner Obedience once they have mastered the concepts taught in this class.
Supplies you will need include:
- Harness/collar of your choice
- 6 ft. leash (no flexi/extendable leads)
- Small, training-sized treats
$120.00 + GST, 5 week program / 45 minutes per week. (Maximum 6 dogs per class.)

All dogs will be given a training collar (included in the cost of the class)—however, we do require you bring your own 6 ft., non-extendable leash. The first class will be owners only, no dogs, as it is an information class that focuses on what the course will cover, some theory and the supplies you will use and need.
