About Furbabies


Furbabies Training School offers premiere puppy training classes (puppy school) for puppies 8 weeks and up. We offer obedience training classes for dogs of all ages and breeds. Further obedience and fun training classes, agility and play group are offered for Furbabies graduates.

We use effective, easy to learn and scientifically proven training methods. Our training philosophy is to work with dogs and their owners in a way that is respectful to both while still producing excellent results.
Furbabies offers dog and owner-friendly dog training, with the emphasis on keeping things simple, straightforward and fun. We help people to communicate clearly what sort of behaviour they would like from their dogs, without resorting to scaring their dogs or undermining the dog-owner relationship.

Classes are taught by Candi Moon, who is a highly qualified puppy and dog trainer and is Super Pup certified, and by Lelani Reichert who brings her expertise with both people and dogs to the mix.


Furbabies was established in 2008 and we are specifically geared to assist the dog and owner who live in an urban environment. A dog who barks all day in a town house complex, or becomes uncontrollable on walks, presents a serious problem for owners and it is just these kind of issues that Furbabies was established to assist with and to help prevent.
