No other GTA trainer has this kind of space

Every dog training problem that persists — pulling, reactivity, ignoring recall — gets worse in cramped spaces with too many distractions and not enough room to work.

20+ acres means your dog can work at distance. Real off-leash work. Real recall under pressure. Real progress that transfers to the real world.

The Paddock Estate is a private property in the Durham Region of Ontario — secure fencing, no public traffic, no unpredictable off-leash dogs. Just structured work in a professional environment.

Off-leash recall training with actual distance
Group socialization in a controlled setting
Leash manners in real-world terrain
Impulse control with live distractions
Pack energy — dogs learn from each other
Perfect for all breeds including reactive dogs

What Makes Paddock Estate Sessions Different

🌿

20+ Acres of Space

Real distance. Real distractions. Recall and off-leash work that actually sticks — not a 20×20 training room.

🐕

Small Groups, Max 8 Dogs

Every dog gets coached. This is not a dog park — every exercise is structured and trainer-guided.

🏆

Pro Trainer Every Session

Yathy — The Dogfather — runs every session personally. The same trainer who's transformed 500+ GTA dogs.

🔒

Secure Private Property

Fully enclosed. No public foot traffic. No off-leash surprises. Your dog works in a controlled environment.

📅

Monthly Membership

🥩

Raw Meal Add-On

Optional organic grass-fed raw meal for your dog after sessions — $10/lb. Beef, organs, tripe, liver, kidney.

How a Session Works

90 minutes. 8 dogs max. Every exercise coached by Yathy personally.

0–10 min

Arrival & Assessment

Dogs arrive and acclimate. Yathy does a quick read on each dog's energy and state. Owners get grounded in what to focus on today.

10–30 min

Leash Work & Foundations

Heel, loose-leash walking, auto-sit, and attention. Building handler connection before off-leash work.

30–60 min

Recall & Off-Leash Distance Work

Using the full 20 acres. Long-line recall, proofing against distractions, building reliable come-when-called.

60–80 min

Group Exercises & Social Skills

Dogs work in proximity — structured passes, parallel walking, place-stay near other dogs. Socialization the right way.

80–90 min

Q&A & Homework

Yathy gives each owner a personalized drill to work on before next session. What to do at home to compound progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Paddock Estate located?+
The Paddock Estate is a 20.6-acre private property in the Durham Region of Ontario, near Pickering, ON. The exact address is shared with registered participants upon confirmation — we keep it private to maintain a quiet, distraction-free environment.
Are the group sessions really free?+
Yes — fully free for the launch period. The first round of sessions are free while we build the community and figure out demand, dates, and cadence. After the free launch, sessions will be $25 drop-in or $49/month unlimited.
My dog is reactive. Can we still come?+
Yes. Mild to moderate reactivity is exactly what these sessions are built for — controlled exposure on 20 acres where you have real distance to work with. If your dog has bitten a human or shown severe dog aggression, contact us first for a private evaluation.
What breeds are welcome?+
All breeds — including pit bulls, rottweilers, German Shepherds, Dobermans, and all working breeds. We don't judge by breed. We judge by behavior and your honesty on the intake form.
Do I need proof of vaccination?+
Yes. Rabies, DHPP/DA2PP, and Bordetella are required. You can bring your vet record on your phone — we'll verify before your first session.
What if sessions get cancelled due to weather?+
We'll notify all registered participants by text and email with as much notice as possible. Sessions will be rescheduled, not cancelled — your spot carries forward.
Is the property fenced?+
Yes. The estate is fully enclosed for safe off-leash work. No public access, no surprise encounters with off-leash dogs.
