Paw'ners

We teach basic and intermediate obedience: proper heeling techniques on and off leash, socialization, sit and down stays, and recalls, using positive re-enforcement and a BONDING BASED TECHNIQUE. We address any and all behaviour problems, such as excessive barking, fear aggression, separation anxiety, destructive chewing, etc.

After our intermediate course, we offer a non-competitive agility course that uses the skills learned in previous classes to develop mutual trust, and also a course in First Aid. We encourage all family members, even the children, to participate and train their dog in class. During classes we address preventative care, grooming and proper nutrition.

​The Northern Ontario Animal Welfare Society (NOAWS) is a non-profit group dedicated to help solve the consequences of pet overpopulation in the communities of Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, Matheson and surrounding areas. They care for, neuter or spay, and find permanent homes for homeless animals.

NOAWS does not have a facility to shelter their animals or any paid staff. Meaning they are run by volunteers who care for the animals and foster them in their own homes. Volunteers also fundraise to cover the expenses associated with the care of the animals and the programs offered the community.
