Start your puppy’s learning journey today.
Dogs learn vital skills when they are young.
These early life experiences influence how your puppy will play, communicate and adjust to different situations as he develops into an adult dog.
Classes are run on weekday evenings, once a week, for five consecutive weeks, at 6:45pm from our Springfield Hospital.
Our learning space is thoroughly disinfected before every lesson and all pups are closely supervised to ensure everyone has a great time.
Our classes are fun for the whole family. We follow up with 'how-to' videos and info sheets so everyone at home can get involved too.
Our aim is to help you shape a content and confident dog.
Our puppy school course is designed for pups aged between 8-15 weeks of age and will teach you appropriate handling techniques, and how to achieve nice ‘doggie manners’, so you can enjoy the company of your dog for many years to come.
You might even learn some cool party tricks too!
By keeping our classes small (5 dogs maximum), we can provide individual attention and ensure that every pup benefits from a calm, safe learning environment.
We use positive reinforcement techniques for fast puppy learning.
We use the ‘clicker’ training method.
A ‘clicker’ is a small handheld device that you ‘click’ to identify the exact moment your dog does something you want him to.
A treat is given immediately following the click.
Your puppy will learn to love the clicker and respond because:
CLICK = TREAT!
