Our core programs focus on building strong foundations in canine behaviour and handler skills, starting with a comprehensive 25-week obedience training course that goes beyond basic commands to foster advanced obedience, socialization, and reliability.

​

This program serves as the gateway for participants interested in progressing further.From there, eligible teams can advance into specialized service dog training, which includes public access skills, task-specific training tailored to the handler's needs (such as support for disabilities, veterans with PTSD, or first responders), and certification under Alberta standards to ensure teams meet rigorous excellence requirements.

​

 Additional offerings include weekly drop-in sessions for personalized 1:1 training or socialization, free initial assessments to place dogs in appropriate group levels, and community-focused events that strengthen the human-canine bond while promoting resilience and well-being. Overall, Paws 4 Resiliency emphasizes accessible, affordable training to empower individuals and dogs alike in enhancing independence, emotional support, and community service.
