Four weeks of small group puppy school, capped at ten puppies and matched by size. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with Sunday mornings starting soon.
Pick your venue and start date below, then choose your level of support.
Most people come to us a few weeks in. They've tried a few things, watched some videos, maybe bought a book. Some of it worked, most of it hasn't stuck. That's not on them. Nobody tells you what order to do things in, or why.
The online course runs week by week from eight weeks to twenty four weeks, which is the whole of the socialisation window. The hard bit usually isn't the first few weeks. It's month four and month five, when the cute phase has worn off and you've got a dog testing every boundary they can find, and you're not quite sure what went wrong.
Four weeks, one session a week, in the same slot each week, capped at ten puppies and matched by size. Your puppy joins once they've had their second vaccination. That is usually given in the twelve to fourteen week range, and in our experience most commonly at twelve weeks.
Everything before that point is covered at home. The program starts the week your puppy arrives, not the week the class does.
There are four. Bronze is puppy school on its own, for owners who want the class and are happy running the rest at home themselves. From Silver up we come to your house before school even starts, the online course runs alongside you week by week, and you have us to ask throughout. Gold and Platinum are about how involved we stay as your puppy changes.
It runs alongside everything else and is structured around your puppy's actual age rather than dumping it all on you at once. Early material covers what you need before they even come home. Then it moves through the first weeks, puppy school, adolescence, recall, breed behaviour, common problems, health and first aid. There's a Problem Library you can open any time something starts. Six months of phone and community support is included throughout.
If your puppy is over 16 weeks when you join, puppy school isn't going to be possible. Private Puppy Training is the same program, with the group class replaced by an extra one to one session in your home. Same support, just structured differently. Some owners skip group classes altogether for their own reasons and we can usually accommodate that.
Pick your support level, choose your puppy school dates, then book your one to one sessions. Everything goes to your calendar.
Puppy school runs at six venues across Sydney and all six are taking bookings:
Anyone in Sydney can attend any of them, so pick the one that fits your week rather than the one that is closest. Start dates vary by venue, so check what is running next or ask us and we will tell you.
One to one training covers Sydney within roughly a forty five minute drive of the Harbour Bridge, which takes in the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Western Sydney and South Sydney.
Everything we do is force-free. That's not a marketing line, it's just how we work. We're not interested in getting your dog to comply out of anxiety. We want them to actually choose to work with you, which sounds simple but it changes everything.
