What you need to know

This course is suitable for dogs all ages. But it is also a great way for you to continue training your dog where you left at the end of your puppy school. It would be good if your dog has a basic understanding of how to sit, stay, lay down and come when called. But no problem if not, we will teach it. Just let us know when you sign up so we can cater for your and your dogs needs.

This course consists of 4 consecutive classes. Each class runs for 1 hour.
We have new courses starting every month. Contact us for next start dates.

We love to keep it intimate - our courses are limited to 6 - 7 dogs per class. This allows us to pay individual attention to each dog and its needs. Book in early so you don't miss out. Booking is essential.

Costs:
$140 for the course, per dog.
