Puppy School Classes
Tuesday 6pm or Wednesday 7.15pm
For your littlest pup, our puppy school classes are for puppies aged between 8 and 15 weeks. We cover basic commands, and also all of the puppy basics - grooming, crate/sleep training, socialising, toilet training, bonding, obedience, vaccinations, teething, and anything else you would like to cover!
We sterilise the floor prior to class to keep the puppies safe while they are not fully vaccinated. We provide support for puppy owners, learn heaps, have a laugh, and the puppies get a chance to socialise and interact with other puppies in a safe environment.
This is such a formative time in a young pup's life, and yet it can be so tricky to socialise them while they are not fully vaccinated. Puppy School is a wonderful opportunity to do this critical early socialising.
$200 (5 week course) Held in Westmere.
Basic Obedience Classes
Tuesday 7.15pm or Wednesday 6pm
Basic Obedience is about teaching your dog the key skills to paying attention, focusing around distractions and being part of the family. By learning the core commands including sit, down, wait, stay, come, leave it, drop it, in a new environment with the distraction of other dogs they are on the stepping stone to becoming a well-trained furry family member.
We cover understanding and communicating in "dog language", continuing socialisation for a confident dog, recall and leash walking techniques plus a few fun commands and games to keep you as the centre of attention for your dog.
A great follow on from Puppy PreSchool this is for dogs aged 16weeks+.

Outdoor Obedience
Thursday 6.30pm or Saturday 9.00am/10.15am
Outdoor Obedience class is held outside in a local dog park ensuring we are testing your dog's attention and focus in the distractions of the real world.
In this advanced obedience class we push further the basic obedience commands, have a strong focus on recall, listening and following directions with real world distractions such as other dogs, cyclists, children, birds etc.
Leash walking, waiting and staying are all put to the test in a fun class with lots of learning and confidence building for you and your dog.
A great step up from Basic Obedience this is for dogs who has mastered the basics and also works as a great refresher course when they reach the teenage stage around 10mths old.

Scent Work (Nosework) is a fun interactive sport for dogs which teaches them the basic skills used by police, airport biosecurity and drug detection dogs. The dogs must find a hidden odour by searching through different objects utilising smell.
We train your dog to search for a unique scent and then each week we continue to practice their scent finding skills and further push their abilities by mixing up the locations and distance to search.
Fun and challenging for you and your dog!
